Mushroom Pizza.. but the other kind of mushroom?
Pizza with molds
[Rant] It's one of those vending machine pizzas. My kid just wanted to see how it works, his other brother has tried once, so he was curious. I've tried it twice. One time out of curiosity and another time because it was Sunday and I didn't feel like going to another town for a restaurant. It's shit as usual, we are in France anyway, so I don't expect anything. This time it was really extra bad. Stale bread and what seems like week old ingredients.
I looked below the crust and as expected there were indeed molds.
Trashed it, after taking some photos.
I inspected my son's pizza and thankfully it tasted better and had no molds.Threw them anyway but after my son has eaten half of it.
I threw them away but decided perhaps I'll help the fellow who owns this pizza machine and tell him he is serving a week old pizza.
Phoned the company and in fact it was a pizza restaurant next to it as per Facebook.
[In french]
He asked me if I can pass by and bring the pizza. I told him no thanks, also i threw them away but I have photos if he wants. Your Facebook has no messages activated ,so not sure how to give it to you.
He asks again if maybe I can pass by.
I said fine as I'll pass by your place anyway to go to the gym
Got there and tried to show him the photos. He pushed the phone away, and asks 'but where is the pizza?' I told him I threw it away.
He says he needs to see it.
I was like scuse me bro? You want me to go back to my house, reach in my trash, and bring you your shit pizza? (I didn't say shit)
He said yes so I can inspect it, 'maybe it's some ingredient like that black charcoal that remains in an unclean pizza oven.'
I said, 'Hey man, im here to help, but m not going back to get that shit pizza to bring it to you' (I didn't say shit).
He said 'i don't understand your reaction..'
And I said I don't understand yours. You won't even look at the photos?
'But yes I can look at it'. he says. Because maybe it's an ingredient..
He looks and still says maybe it's ingredients from a used pizza oven. (I know what I said. France thinks an unclean pizza oven is ok)
I said look, that's a different colour and all grey. I'm only here to help bro, maybe you want to inspect the pizzas in your machine.
(First Question: Does France think it's only cooks that know what mold is?)
I'm like 'bro I'll just leave you, I'm here to help so maybe you want to inspect your stall..'
He says but I want to give you something in return..
Nah bro, I don't want or need anything from you. I don't need that 13 euros.
I left.
Mais que se passe-t-il ici en France ?! Personne ne vous a jamais aidé auparavant en vous signalant une erreur ?
Did you think 13 euros is an apology?
I kids felt bad for him. Maybe he thought I was there to shame is artisanal way of cooking. Then again this is France. He is cooking a pizza.
(Our conversations were in french by the way)
