/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I worked in a restaurant where the owner's girlfriend convinced him peperoncini were super classy and everyone loved them and there's a reason papa johns includes them with every pizza, so we started serving them with every salad.

I don't think I ever saw a single one get eaten by a single customer. They went from the salad prep station to the table and then to the trash, every time.

I love to cut up the pepper and put it on slices of the pizza.

I personally love the peperoncini. It goes really well with salty cured meats and shit.

>>10805947
the pepper is literally the only good part of Papa John's

>>10805947
>orders pizza with banana peppers
>weirded out by nearly identical pepper on the side

What the fuck

>>10805947
I eat it with my pizza. I also have a jar of peperoncini in my fridge, I’ll eat them as part of a spread with olives, pickles, bread/crackers, cheese, salamis.

No one ever wants them except me though so I guess I’m an outlier.

>>10805947
It's called a pepperoncini you little shit, and it's good.

>>10805947
You’re supposed to squeeze the peperonconi juices into the pizza for added acidity and flavour, you moron.

>>10805947
>why does papa
stopped reading right there

>>10806173
What you do is nick the end of it and let the juices out on the pizza. Then you use it as a brush for the garlic butter sauce to apply it to the crust or whole pie if you like. Then you can cut it up and add the pepper itself or just eat it.

>>10806157
That sounds like a hoity-toity pretentious name to embarass flyovers. Why not just call it "little hot pepper?"

>>10806251
This guy knows what he’s doing.

>>10805947
Thats one of my favorite parts, if i order from poopoo johns.

>>10805976
Did they go in salads or with pizza? I wouldn't eat one with my salad but I would with pizza. I'd bet people don't like zesty salads?

>ordering papa johns
>ever

I'm touching myself.
To one of you.
Can you guess who?
Mhmm. My testicles are so smooth.

>>10806251
Who told you this? Or did you make it up?

>>10806251
>What you do is nick the end of it and let the juices out on the pizza
This is what I do. I really like sour foods though so I eat it after, but I can see why most people wouldn't like it with pizza.

the chief ingredient officer of papa john’s does this:
>So what's the best way to pair your pizza with a spicy pepperoncino?” There's no rules here," said Muldoon. "But I like to bite off the tip of the pepper, then spread the juices in a circle around the pie."

>>10806875
I just started doing it on my own.
>>10806925
Didn't know about this. I feel validated.

>>10805947
What the fuck have you even been doing all this time?

You want to squirt the juice of that pepper onto your slice in order to reach pizza warp speeds.

You have no idea what you have been missing out on.

>>10806251

the dough already has a fuckton of butter in it and then it is slathered again before adding toppings. you are going to die

>>10806015
This.
That pepper and the garlic dip are the only things putting papa johns above pizza hut and dominoes.

>>10806925
Been doing this since the 90s after I saw some kid do it after a little league game. And yeah, he bit the tip off the pepper then let the juices fall onto the pizza. Another thing I like to do after that is to take a bite of pizza, then a bite of the pepper.

>>10805947
I convinced my little cousin that it was a giant booger and he took a bite out of it to make sure!

Nigga. Thats literally what it stands for in italian. Get some culture.

>>10808307
Sure if I wasn't active.

>>10805947
I mean its neat I guess if it didn't require me to actually prep the damn thing to actually use it.
I think most people would just get it with peperoncini if they wanted peperoncini. But I sometimes like to use the peperoncini in any case. It is kind of dumb though.

The garlic sauce is good for the crust though.

>tfw your nearest papa jones won’t deliver to your house when it’s not even a mile away, but another pizza place on the fucking other end of town will

Boycotted. And for good reason, those lazy cocksuckers.

>>10809315
As long as the other place is not dominos, Im ok with this

>>10809320
Thank God it’s not. You scared me there for a second. Said place is a local mom and pop shop. Damn good za.

>>10806173
>>10806251
Or you could do what I do. Take the pepper from the pizza box, put it in your mouth, chew, swallow.

>>10805947
I ask for extra peppers. A lot of people do, take a bite of one then the pizza

>>10805997
Based kettle pepperoncini. The patrician's salt and vinegar flavor.

>>10809334
wasteful
If I want to eat a pepperoncini I can do it any time so I'd rather add it to the pie

>>10806292
You're either too poor to enjoy it so you resent it. Or you have no taste at all

>>10805947

>>10810028
it adds aroma to when you open the pizza box. Also some people like the pepper

Do Pepperoncinis have carbs?

>>10805947
I like to squeeze the juice onto my pizza. Good shit, man.

>>10806925
jesus fucking christ its just a pizza, the only thing im going to be picking up and moving is a slice of pizza in my mouth

>>10810146
why are you broadcasting how much of a pleb you are?

>>10810146
I bet you don't even use a spoon to eat spaghetti

>>10808307
the only thing at papa johns thats slathered in butter before its topped are the cheese sticks. the pizzas just have the sauce and toppings

>>10805947
a kid brought a jar full of peperchinis to school to eat or some shit and he droped them and the jar smashed whole hall way smelled like vinegar for a few days

>>10806292
This. Poopy John's is bottom of the barrell tier trash.

>>10811999
>a kid brought a jar full of peperchinis to school to eat
Was he the foriegner or just the really weird kid?

>>10805947
Can't handle the spice? Pepperoncinis are God tier peppers. Not to hot and enjoyable just by itself.

>>10809369
>saying this, even ironically

>>10812124
>AYO CRACKAS CANT HANDLE THE SPICE *smack lips*
