What, no flames? No one even asked what kind of omelet it was…
Haggis and kimchee would also pair well on pizza, yes?
An unbelievable number of posts in this topic are off-topic.

But it is so entertaining!
Seeing “Reserved” signs on tables long before the reservation time.
It would be fair to say I don’t necessarily know what time the table was reserved … but if it’s still on a more preferable table even after an hour passes, what gives?
n.b. at the Delta SkyClub in Tokyo Haneda airport, by the window were a number of tables with that very same sign. I asked one of the employees about it; turns out they were merely reserved for parties >1.
Tinned tuna, corn, and mayo … I’ve seen that one a bunch in Japan.
Oftentimes this is because the restaurant does not have enough staffing for all of the tables, and thus cordons some off as “off limits” – hence the “reserved” sign.

Is one’s mobile phone always clean?
I hate to yuk someone’s yum, but 
Yes, and Swedes seem to like bananna on pizza, too.
On a saltine. And heated in a toaster oven. The definition of pizza is a loose one in Japan.

As long as there’s a goodly amount of mayo on it, amirite?
Just eat it quick before the saltine gets soggy.
Or, the related tomfoolery of making casual dining patrons wait in line behind a “Please Wait to Be Seated” sign when there are open tables abounding.
actually, it’s not.

There’s no obligation to read it (or all of it) 
of course not. but it’s just frustrating — and annoying:) — to see new posts on a topic of interest — annoying restaurant features — and have to scroll through post after post about eggplant and find nothing relating to the actual topic of the thread.
a while back there was a thread on cooking tasks that people preferred to do by hand, which devolved into a protracted conversation about restoring cars. and there was another one i recall that morphed into a discussion about caring for cats.

Oh, trust, I’ve witnessed my share of Thread Drift, some of it on posts I made asking for specific recipes, only to devolve into complete OT nitpicking. I (obviously) am more annoyed when it happens to my own posts, but I get ya
It even has its own thread.

I actually thought about splitting the pizza topping posts to a new thread. But it originated from the annoyance of a restaurant having ingredients (i.e., eggplant and shrimp) but refusing to combine them for a special order. As usual, there were some good points made as to why a restaurant may be unable to oblige such requests. Also as usual–both on HO and in real life conversations–the topic then sort of drifted. In the end, it would be difficult to move the drifty posts while maintaining the integrity of the thread(s).
Experience tells me the thread will return to annoying restaurant features

Actually, no. Or maybe some people are just easily entertained.
What have separate topics at all? Let’s just throw everything in a big pile.
With you, there.
