"Hot Pockets are the American empanada."
— Wendy Watson
Except it tastes like shit because it's a hot pocket
You don't eat a Hot Pocket for the taste.
And definitely not for nutrition.
Well, I can't really argue with that...
Stromboli actually. Strombolis have pizza sauce like the pockets, calzones require ricotta and no sauce (you dip em in marinara).
A calzone is just a folded pizza.
Yep, that's why don't have to call it "pizza flavoured".
Its best if you use home made spaghetti sauce (the kind that takes 2 hours to make and is very meaty)
The Low-Cal Calzone Zone! 😀
I thought a hot pocket was the American version of a meat pie. No?
No, I think we call that a a pot pie. It has a meat, gravy and a bunch of vegetables
We call that a Pot Pie
Yes, and so are burritos, corndogs, whole pies, dumplings, pop-tarts, and uncrustables. And presumably non-pizza-flavored Hot Pockets.
This is a case for the cube rule!
No, its definitely not. A Calzone isn't what ever hot pockets are made of.
