If it goes from cold to hot it’s cooked. Made and cooked are two different things.

#22

Still stands. Imagine if someone tried surprising you with beans on toast.

#23

Depending on the context, it could be quite sweet.

LA DE FUCKING DA

You would if you spoke to me, mostly it’s a regional thing. I’d say I’m going out for dinner, but if I’m eating at home it’s tea.

This is not the bit of I was hoping would be focus of my post.

People just say made not cooked, which covers all the above.

If someone asked me round saying “I’m cooking pizza” and I arrived to find a sainsburys Hawaiian I would be very very disapointed

Big Grievey T gets it.

Is this because:
a) It has pineapple on
b) It’s from Sainsbos
c) Other, also wrong reason

Depends on the situation. If it’s a friend or spouse then it’s great. If it’s a date, not so much.

#33

I posted the winky tongue out!

#34

But no one would say that. They would say either ‘I’ll make pizzas’ or ‘I’ll get some pizzas in’ and you’d know exactly what they meant.

I agree! only a lunatic would say that - which is why I think making oven ready pizza is well outside the “cooking” boundary

#38

just remembered the time an ex tempted be round hers cos she had “got pizza in”

It was a single Dr O Margarita between the 2 of us - don’t think I did a very good job of hiding my disappointment
