I've also gone to my share of mom and pop burger joints as well as the chain gang variety. Again, as I'm sure you all have. Same thing applies to hamburgers and hot dogs. Ground beef on a bun or franks on a bun. It's about the toppings or condiments.
My favorite condiments are ketchup and mustard. Perhaps different types of mustard depending on the fine fare I'm devouring. Horseradish mustard is one of my all time favorites. Still, mustard and ketchup can make any decent burger or hot dog ideal! Sure add the onions and relish, but relish the mustard and ketchup.
Same for pizza. Just give me the basic pepperoni or cheese-thin and crispy of course-dip the slices into French dressing and voila! Gourmet pizza at a discounted price. Save your money. Buy the basics in burgers and dogs and pizza. Just don't forget the ketchup, mustard and dressing...Mmm, mmm good!
At least that's the way I do it. I can't seem to spend extra money on extra crap that I can buy and add myself. Hell, I enjoy buying a "good" frozen pizza and topping it off my way! C'est la vie! I feel like a sperm mix of Uncle Ben and Chef Boyardee. Sperm mix? Where did that come from?

I'm a little late stopping by this morning. Excuse me while I ketchup. hahahahaha
("but relish the mustard and ketchup" Good one, Don)
Ewwww! Remind me NEVER to eat at your house!
nonamedufus: Well, you certainly passed mustard(?)with your comment *yawning*. Thanks.
thinkinfyou: Don't worry. I won't. No Gators allowed here.
Sure it wasn't a Spam metaphor that got all pucked up?
I believe "Sperm Mix" comes from Paris Hilton's vagina, if I'm not mistaken.
Bwahahahahaha on what moooooog35 said. Could be right too. Bwahahahahahaha.
Now I'm hungry for a cheeseburger with ketchup and mustard, and onion, and tomato, and pickles, and lettuce...
Have a terrific day. :)
Waxing a bit poetic on us this morning, "relish the mustard"? That's a bit flowery for you.
Doctor Faustroll: Hell. You know you may be right. Besides, I love Spam-fried! Guaranteed to cause death with 20 years after eating.
moooooo35: After seeing "her video" I believe you are right. I'll have to come up with something else next time. Although sperm and mustard do seem like a logical,tart and tasty combo.
Sandee: That's the way to eat a burger. You don't need overpriced Angus or gourmet cheese or fancy mustard. Just like you said sounds perfect.
Buggys: Glad you noticed. I suppose that when I speak of my true loves i.e. mustard and ketchup, my heart grows softer but for a moment.
You know your crusts Don... thin and crispy, oh yeah!!
Tattoo Jim: Yes! I'm almost always alone on that down here though. People in these parts love as much bread as they can get. I'm not a big fan...
Actually, I think great pizza starts with the crust and sauce. The toppings are incidental. Except for sperm. I do not like pizza with sperm, not with a pachyderm and never with ringworm.
MikeWJ at Too Many Mornings: I agree, but it's the toppings that give pizza it's unique taste. The crusts and sauces are basically the same.
What you don't like to have winners at your house!?!
Okay what's up? I love fried Spam. Oh yeah and a plain cheese pizza and add all the goodies at home. Let me tell you a great combo for pizza. Extra cheese of course, then sliced hot dogs, pineapple, tiny little salad shrimp, Canadian bacon, and black olives. Say what you want, it is DELISH!
thinkinfyou: Losers make me feel better about myself. It's about caressing my ego and arrogance. That's all.
ettarose: That's what I'm talking about! Obviously, a southern girl with excellent taste in foods! Hell yeah!
Actually you would be surprised with pizza: you can get good mozzarella, sauce, pepperoni anywhere ... the "secret" was the crust.
My first job was as a pizza cook, and after 5 years I was never given the dough recipe. Years later in college, I worked briefly for Pizza Hut: their dough is trucked in frozen.
And I respectfully disagree about condiments. I never put ketchup on fries. I never put A1 on steak. I feel good food is good food -in fact I'm paying these guys so I don't have to tinker with it to taste good. I can't, for instance, eat anything at McDonalds because everything tastes like ketchup and onions. Even the pancakes!
Still, I forgive you. And I feel better.
Don't you?
