> Pizza was a good fit for a planned economy and should have been widely available
A variety of classic Soviet recipes was designed for use of local ingredients and industrial scale production, making pizza unnecessary.
> Arguably, a calzone is just a pirogi anyway
And why would you need pizza when the world of pirogi is arguably bigger?..

- ivan_gammel 2y agoCartesian product of bread and everything else is still bigger, but this is not a cardinality of sets competition. This is practicality and deliciousness of sets competition and pineapples did not grow in Soviet Union.

- golergka 2y agoEmpanadas are basically the same as pirogi, and pineapple empanadas are delicious.

- ivan_gammel 2y agoThe only shot glass you need for anything (if anything is voka or tea) was designed (allegedly) by Vera Mukhina. As for pineapples etc, there was a poem in Soviet Russia: “Eat your pineapples, chew hazel grouse, your last day is coming, bourgeois!”
- vinnyvichy 2y agoThink GP was referring to this uh kind of custom https://youtube.com/shorts/BSzmabM7J7M https://youtube.com/shorts/BSzmabM7J7M And maybe a pun on ananas
- 082349872349872 2y agoen effet j'ai complètement loupé les [b]ananas ! Of course, I got the custom from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ugivNRYfjc&t=322s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ugivNRYfjc&t=322s — because Shnur et.al. are my guide to things "our people love": Песни чтоб из Магадана Телевизор у дивана Водку закусить бананом [Speaking of Comrade Mukhina, in better times we had had: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi-SXOBbTjo&t=175s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi-SXOBbTjo&t=175s ]

Too bad Mayakovsky's been metabolically challenged for nearly a century, otherwise we could tell him that after he accidentally prints a binary file and his poetry starts looking like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Mayakovsky#/media/File:Колхозонь_эряф_1940-06_37стр.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Mayakovsky#/media/Fil... either an "stty onlcr" or a "tset reset" will probably work wonders. [EDIT: (if anything is voka or tea) suggests that anything may include tea with vodka? (locally a "finished" coffee includes schnapps) Or was that an `xor`?]
- golergka 2y agoNot unnecessary, but an unattainable luxury. Industrially produced and available ingredients in Soviet union were a world away from mozzarella, good tomato sauce and bay leaves you may want for the simplest pizza. If you wanted to get your hands on horrible Soviet salami you had to travel to Moscow, and pepperoni was a luxury few world even know about. Forget about olives, anchovies, even pineapples — it's just something that didn't exist for a regular person.
- fredgrott 2y agoas part Russian and Polish, no a pirogi is not an effing calzone!
