A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

I've never eaten a pizza where the crust actually tasted bad, and always heard this as a "picky children" behaviour, but it seems too widespread for that. Is it more a texture thing or something? Genuinely trying to understand this.
It can depend on the quality and age of the pizza. Sometimes it can be tooth-breaking hard or overly chewy like cheap gristle-filled jerky. Also a lot of these 'kids' places, like Chuck E. Cheese cheapen out on that recipe and care, training the kid to hate the crust. And, when one kid starts ignoring the crust, they'll all start doing it.
The crust is fine but not as good as the rest and I want the best for last. My solution is to abandon all etiquette and eat the crust first, at least for the last slice.
My god, you monster.
Hard bread, flaky bread, dry bread, and crust count as all three, are disgusting and can only be eaten by soaking in a sauce of some kind. If none is available, I just throw it out. It's not filling enough to matter money wise
That said, the invention of stuffed crust has mostly solved the issue for me. Unfortunately, French and European bread is still a pain in the jaw and taste buds to eat, but the inside is worth it.
Sounds like someone raised on Wonder bread.
Yup, bread should be soft. It should be pleasant, and not hurt your gums to eat or your jaw to chew.
Wonder bread and similar loaves are made from batter, not dough, which makes it closer to cake than real bread.
Someday I will gnaw seeds atop your weak-jawed grave
I recommend using your teeth to masticate hard foods, it makes them significantly more pleasurable to eat.
I have follow up questions for anyone making pizza out of crusty french loaves. I know the texture you're talking about, and agree this would taste awful in pizza format.
Isn't it past your bedtime kiddo? Have some milk, brush your teeth and someone will be in shortly to tuck you in. You've had a busy day and you need your sleep so you have lots of energy to play with all your toys tomorrow.
