We have several good sources for Wings around here. NickyB's ( I always call them Zippy T's ..and people look at me weird) makes good ones....People's Pizza makes them with crispy breading like regular fried chicken....and they give you the sauce and BC on the side.....served in a paper sack.....different, but quite tasty. Outback's kookaburra wings are good....Hooters ( i dont like them so much) gives you the whole wing all together and breaded which is yucky to me for some reason....

I like my wings Mild because I'm a pussy. I also like them well done. The place near my house is passable and they deliver...and the owner is really cool. The best I have had in recent memory was in Texas, though. HUUUGE wings. all KINDS of steroids in them muffuggers.

Ok, I keep meaning to post this for anyone who likes to cook wings (as I do). I got this receipe after searching for the Hooters Daytona Wings receipe and came across this. We made them a week ago and the family has not stopped raving about them. The only change I made was I doubled the sauce and left the Rosemary at half strength because it was so strong a spice. If anyone trys these let me know what you think.

Savory Hot Wings Recipe #95560 Very different than traditional hot wings, not fried. If wrapped in foil and left on the grill the chicken will be so tender it will fall off the bone. (I've also used the marinade to spice up grilled chicken breasts.) My friends and family can't get enough of these, have plently napkins ready! by Donna H 6-8 servings 35 min 5 min prep 2-4 lbs chicken wings, discard tips Marinade 3/4-1 cup louisiana hot sauce, to taste 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup margarine, melted 2 tablespoons vinegar 1/4 cup dried Italian seasoning 1/8 cup black pepper 1/8 cup chili powder 1/8 cup paprika 2 teaspoons dried rosemary 6 cloves minced garlic

Combine all ingredients for marinade, reserve some marinade for basting. Put wings and marinade in a resealable bag, refrigerate several hours. Grill over medium coals basting with reserved marinade until done. When wings are slightly browned and carmelized wrap in foil and leave on the grill for another 30 minutes or until ready to serve.

I'm going to have to make my own. It's time to throw down the gauntlet and let the four winds blow.

England!
He's right about the hot wings, although you can buy them in supermarkets. They're just called Spicy Chicken Wings though.

I don't know Newcastle, Perry - I've only been there once - but I completely refute the fact you cannot get pizza in this country. The big (American) pizza chains are represented in every town for a start. If you're after Italian style pizza look no further than Pizza Express - it is a chain but the pizzas are similar in quality to anything you could buy in Rome. Menu here.

And there must be a decent Italian restaurant in a city that size. If you were down here I would recommend at least one for you, same with Leicester and Aylesbury, Bucks. We didn't have the same Italian immigration as the US, but we certainly had enough to leave us with Italian shops, delicatessens and restaurants.

Keep looking!

My girlfriend and I finally found acceptable pizza, and Italian in general. It's a little family owned place called Roberto's la Dolce Vita. It's pretty close to Neapolitan pizza, so it's not bad, but not my favorite -- the minestrone was out of this world.

The American pizza chains, Dominos, Pizza Hut, etc. don't count. That is _not_ pizza, and barely qualifies as food. (Sorry, I lived in Upstate NY (more Italians than you can shake a stick at) for 10 years. I became a pizza snob.) The Chip/Kebab places serve a sort-of pizza. It's a little weird though.

Thanks for the Pizza Express suggestion. I'll try it out sometime. In the mean time, I'll take your advice and "Keep Looking."

I'll have to start a pizza thread later. I plan on making some home-made pizza soon. I just have to try to monopolize a kitchen during some weird, off hours.

Perry, if you get a notion to lay a homemade pizza recipe on The Most Recent Recipe Thread incidental to your pizza thread, I'd be grateful.

I'm enthusiastic about most restaurants' and pizza chains' pizza except Shakey's. Don't know what happened to those people, but they have sure fallen since the 1960s. Oxnard's got a couple of good family-owned Italian restaurants that do good cheese and a flavorful crust -- I think they use their dinner roll dough. Toppers Pizza, well, they are bland; Papa John's better; there's a couple of what I call "short chains" -- Rusty's Pizza and American Pizza, which we've liked. The Rusty's nearest our place was a buy-up of a going concern named Three Rockys Pizza, spelled like that. Ameci also tastes like they know what they're doing, and seem to have a particularly nice touch with the tomato sauce; it tastes alive and fresh. Perhaps the very best 'za in Ventura County is from a family-owned place in Camarillo near US 101, Cucina Louisa or something like that, which has been around about three years now.

The important thing that seems to me to differentiate pizzas is the quality of the cheese. Mozzarella snobs may insist on calling cow-milk mozzarella a not-mozzarella or a pizza cheese, but I'm not that spoiled about it. However, good, milky-flavored cheese with some character to it seems to do more than any other single ingredient to make a good 'za. Really, tomato paste is tomato paste, and there doesn't seem much difference between pepperonis in the trade. I think a great many pizza places make up their sausage onsite from ground meat either single or mixed like meatloaf ground meat gotten fresh and mixing in the mixed herbs.

So am I off track on any of this?
