| Those are very normal weggebobbles for anyone outside the US. Big no-no to vegan cheese though. |

| Are they not normal inside the US? |
| |
| ▲ | evilduck 2 days ago | parent [-] | | They're normal vegetables, but not normal pizza toppings. Just look at the menu offerings of any big US chain pizza place, deviating from that without warning is going to cause disappointment. | | |
| ▲ | 0xffff2 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I'm from California, can't speak to the rest of the US... To me all except broccoli are perfectly normal pizza toppings. Not toppings I would expect to see on a Dominos pizza, but definitely to be expected on a "veggie" pizza from any independent pizza place. | |
| ▲ | shermantanktop 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | > any big US chain pizza place I guess that counts as "normal," but that's fast food, where picky children's tastes rule. Predictability and therefore high-volume turnover of ingredients is paramount. |

| Eh, I find vegan cheese very variable. I never seek it out but experience it relatively often. Sometimes it's tasty and chewy. Sometimes it's a bland monstrosity. I don't know why. |

| ▲ | rkomorn 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Vegan feta has the best success rate for me. Unfortunately, feta has limited applications. (I'm not vegan but I like to try vegan products anyway.) | | |
| ▲ | kulahan 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | If you haven't make shakshuka yet, it's worth a shot. It's one of my favorite places to use lots and lots of feta. It's not normally vegan since it's topped with an egg, but that's easy enough to remove and forget. Eat it with toasted pita. | | |
| ▲ | rkomorn 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Come on, it's 2025, no true HN user hasn't tried to make shakshuka by now. :D | | |
| ▲ | iamtedd 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I don't even know how to spell shakshuka. | | |
| ▲ | rkomorn 2 days ago | parent [-] | | You don't have to! You can just say it's imported from a language that doesn't use the Latin alphabet, so there's no canonically correct way to spell it. It's probably a lie but it doesn't sound like one! | | |
| ▲ | dotancohen 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Though Arabic has quite a few letters you won't find in the Latin alphabet, all the letters in the word shakshukah map perfectly to Latin letters. But put an H on the end, and quarter-pronounce it. | | |
| ▲ | rkomorn 2 days ago | parent [-] | | The spelling still had to be romanized. The Wikipedia page has three different spellings for it, though none match yours. I stand by my point. |

| ▲ | stevage 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | > feta has limited applications. Politely beg to differ. | | |
| ▲ | rkomorn 2 days ago | parent [-] | | It's not particularly sliceable, meltable, or all that edible on its own. That rules out many cheese applications for me. Then again, I'm French, so our takes on cheese may be very different! :) | | |
