All this talk of mayo is making me think about experimenting with mayo on pizza. ---

I don’t blot, I just sprinkle it with parmesan. Soaks it right up. Well, at least we know what to do with the salty, dry powder. The cheese turning orange as it absorbs the grease is your sign of flavor. ---

> [@jimbuff314](#): > > I also opine that the _“comestible”_ which is served at Charles and Various Cheeses (aka Chuck E. Cheese’s) is undeserving of the name “pizza”, in that it is of markedly inferior quality. Yeah. I’m a pizza junkie. A bad slice of pizza is like a bad day of fishing but man, Chucky E. Cheese makes some shitty pizza. If there’s an egregious amount of oil on a slice I’ll crease it a little and let it run out the back. It takes a lot to make me do that, though. I don’t want to mitigate the slurpitude _too_ much! ---

I’ve been precisely ONE place where people will kill you if you try to drain the fat from meat… The Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. Something about being in a wilderness area paddling a canoe full of equipment all day makes people absolutely nuts about retaining every possible calorie. ---

Matter of personal taste, I guess. A pizza should glisten slightly in the light; it’s certainly not a fat free food. But as a rule, if I have to _drain the grease_, I’m not dealing with optimal pizzatude. Hell, I even drain the bacon before I eat it.
