The garlic, lardo and salt is reminiscent of an appetizer you can get in many Russian & Ukranian restaurants here and overseas. It's cured pork fat, they call it Salo, a thin slice of raw garlic on squares of untoasted bread. Fabulous with an ice cold vodka!
This was fun. I like the pizza history lesson and the historian saying, "Bring it," to comment criticism.
That pizza with pomegranate they uncovered at Pompeii was mind blowing… Seems like a dessert thing?
I adore Sohla, so authentic and so relatable. Absolute icon.
I feel like I understand dough so much more now! Plus all the history and pizza and everything ❤ also Tall Sohla 😂😂😂 I say from a whooping 5’1”
There are frescos in Pompei that have pizza exactly like you made them here. I think they have been reinvented 😉
huh, didn't know the other 2 on the tasting menu…though that does make sense. Awesome to find this, when getting back into the backlog of Sola's Ancient Recipes. Ciao!
this street food is called PRANDIUM food you eat at 13:00 😋
Pide, a Turkish flat bread also from Roman Greek period but I think more byzantine when become popular, basically a pointed pizza :haha!
Interestingly, people and cultures change a lot but food not so much. if the food is good it passes on many generations 🙃
Mexicans cook all cuisine these days..
So I can go to work while I serve tables and brag about the history 😂😂😂
Can you do an episode on the history of culinary terms?! Just like you were wondering about why it’s called a shaggy dough.
"american classic" coming from ITALY! do you even understand language and how to use it?!
I’d love to give her pizza some pepperoni
I'm severely lactose intolerant, and this makes me want to brave the cramps, pain and gas and have pizza ala Sohla style.
My home town's specialty pizza is Canadian bacon and sauerkraut.
Loving the crunch in each bite 😌
0:52 37, baby
wonderful
Its amazing what happened with the Bon Appetit crew.
She's cool
Sohla is the best. 🍕
They erroneously call the Margarita pizza “white pizza” even in some 2nd – 3rd generation NYC pizza restaurants. “White” pizza has no red sauce whatsoever, some places call it “three cheese” pizza as cheese is the main ingredient.
Actual history from the History channel?! 😮
wheres the pineapple ham and cheese pizza
I love these episodes. Major highlight on my YouTube watching
Sometimes I stare at a door or a wall and I wonder what is this reality, why am I alive, and what is this all about?
I'm literally only subscribed to watch this series! Love Sohla and this content
You know you've made it when you have your own chewing/tasting music.
It will be in my head when I next eat lunch!
You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment if you don't trust enough.
25 years later, she still regretted that specific moment.
I'm eating pizza while watching this.
Can you describe your cooking process? Because I have a pizza stone and a pretty high end electric oven but it just never gets crispy like a true pizza oven. So I'm curious what you do or did in this episode, at least.
FREE PALESTINE JUSTICE NOW. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE.
I thought a margarita was something you drank with chips and queso dip
How salty is lardo? Could we perhaps get close with salt pork?
