Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

Strong golf club post to get back on the fairway

All the pizza oven chat (on here and IRL) has got a bit golf club IMO. It’s the new ‘having a hot tub’.

I bought a house near Santa Maria so I didn't need a pizza oven.

How's my golf chat? Dial 1-800-58008-618

My resentment comes about because we went to some friends’ house and despite it being bbq weather, he did pizza.

Queue hours spent fucking about with his Ooni while everyone was starving and then turning out one fairly average pizza every 20 minutes and practically expecting a round of applause.

I'm envisaging double-/triple-decker Ooni chatter in 3, 2, 1 ...

Queue/Cue.

VILMSTRUFAX: Q magazine’s name was intended to be homophonous of ‘cue’.

Casually tell him that it only takes 6mn on a £10 Lidl-bought pizza stone.

Oh god. I fucking write for a living too.

Don’t worry - I showed everyone how good mine were using the frying pan method while they waited. Shithouse behaviour but if you make me wait for food, you pay the price.

Oonis aren't pizza ovens. Using one of them is like reducing fine Italian espresso to nescafe.

Agree. This is the only way to make even slightly authentic handmade pizza without a wood fired oven.

What are they then? I’m sure he said he was burning wood in it.

Ooni backlash starts here then. They are available as gas powered or wood burning.

So very much this. Excellent rant.

Love what this thread has become.

This forum being a good bet for finding other blue bloods with known lineage to historically significant figures renders this thread pretty facile.

The ooni love was huge last year on the Pizza thread iirc?

Not heard in the gold club, but in Gregg's, and it made me chuckle.

Fairly dishevelled-looking chap ambles in, and asks the young lad behind the counter: 'What's the spiciest hot thing you sell?'

Young 'un replies, utterly deadpan: 'That would probably be a cheese and onion pasty'.

I couldn't decide if this was pro-level trolling, so kept my eye on him, but not even a flicker of mirth crossed his face.

The original bloke also seemed unaware anything was up, replying - after a short pause - 'Ok, I'll have 2 of those and a tea, please.'

I was creasing.

'I'll have the blandest thing on the menu!'

Whoah there, are you sure?

I hadn't heard of the frying pan method. Tried it tonight and it was great - thank you!

Tried it once in the le creuset and the pan didn’t really like it. So now I use the already trashed wok.

As well, I can really recommend you get yourself a Thermomix for the dough.
