Pizza Tasting

April 22, 2010 15:07

On the first full day of exam term, 4 intrepid students in Cambridge have embarked on one of the most daring culinary missions ever attempted... frozen pizza tasting.

In order to ensure that the results were unbiased, all participants agreed to take part in blind tasting and confirmed that they would put more brainpower to this exercise than all work they had done over the previous day.

We tasted 4 different pizzas, from 3 different companies, using all our palate, and our results are as follows:

1. Slice

Positive points - good brand name, microwaveable, universally agreed to taste the best
Negative points - small quantity, felt like you were reheating cooked pizza instead of cooking pizza

Overall rating 8/10

2. Meodnot square bitesize pizza

Positive points - bitesize :), only boys liked the taste, exciting spices come with, cheesy goodness, red box
Negative points - cheese fell off, (mushy, according to Gaby Davis) surprisingly filling - but you only work out when it is too late, difficult to tell when it was cooked, very hot and then very cold

overall rating 7/10

3. Shmerlings (note this might not actually be its name but it was something similarly brooklyny)

Positive points - looked like pizza apart from the slightly off colour, could have got away with claiming to be melawach
Negative points - if a tomato had ever been near it has since been exterminated, tasted rather solid. (the way avital tals it - she felt like a dog chewing a bone)

overall rating 5/10

4. Meodnot pie pizza
(note from ed. we may have halved this rather badly by hand and then burnt it rather badly by donna)
positive points - doughy
negative points - evidently rather difficult to tell whether it has been cooked, from the tomato coverage of the pizza it was seemingly made during a shmitta year,

overall rating - n/a

That concludes the trusty testing of your four most reliable kosher goods spot checkers (Josh Marks was the last one). Suggestions for the next instalment will be welcomed. If any viewers happen to have the ear of my mother, other food with nutritional agreements would be welcomed.
