minus-squarewonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·20 hours ago Basil is basically always included in the sauce of normal pizzas. I wish that were the case in the US. But also, margherita pizza here usually has whole or chopped basil leaves added directly on top
minus-squareDamage@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·18 hours agoIt’s such a cheap ingredient, it makes no sense to omit it
minus-squarewonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·18 hours agoProbably cheap in Italy. In the US if you grow your own basil you don’t really want to publicize that cause you’ll be labeled as bougie And some people won’t eat anything that seems too “foreign,” like good bread and most spices and herbs.
minus-squareDamage@feddit.itlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·15 hours agoWeird. It’s just a plant, takes plenty of sun and water and that’s it. I’ve got two in pots, one even survived the winter, which they usually don’t, although I had to fight Noctua caterpillars. (very silent caterpillars? no, not that Noctua)
