I'm going to make Calzones for dinner. Just cheese for the filling. I think
I make them once before and my then husband was not impressed as they were
not authentic. Not many places make them here. I don't recall ever getting
any in NY. I had my first one in Reno but didn't like it as they used only
Ricotta for the filling. Had them many times in PA where they used Ricotta
mixed with other cheeses.

One thing all had in common was there was no sauce inside. Sauce was served
on the side to dip them in.

I was looking at recipes to get a bake time/temp. It was hard to find many
recipes for just cheese. Most were broccoli and cheese or spinach and
cheese. And most had sauce inside. Also, many were made into squares,
triangles. rectangles, etc.

To me, a Calzone is a folded over circle and has no sauce inside. How do you
make yours?

To you, a Calzone is a piece of nothing baked dough.

No. I like cheese in mine.

Why did you snip a relevant part of what she wrote?

Rather than writing as "mean Jill," you could have
offered a recipe idea. Or you could have just not
responded at all.

We could say the same thing about you. In the baked buffalo chicken
wings thread you completely snipped my method for making "buffalo wings"
in the oven under the the broiler rather than frying. You focused
instead on me saying I discard the wing tips, not worth saving even for
stock. Apparently in your mind that means I've never made chicken
stock. You'd be wrong about that. You're wrong about so many things.

What I snipped was not relevant to my comment to you.
Who cares how you make chicken wings?

You said, and I quoted:
> Discarded the tips, they aren't worth the
> time, no not even for stock.

That's what I quoted as that was the only thing I was responding
to. That is proper snipping for Usenet.

Get real, girl. Maybe get out of the house more and not just out
on your back patio.

Better yet, when you respond emotionally, save as draft, sleep on
it then read again in the morning before deciding whether to send
or not.

As far as you making chicken stock? Maybe once years ago. You
wouldn't toss out any chicken part if you did. If so, that
would be kinda dumb to do.

BTW, your method of making buffalo wings was quite odd too.
I'm even doubting now that you've made those.
Your method is so wrong.

I asked my Canadian/Italian friend last night. He said a cheese calzone
should never have sauce inside but he does put sauce in his eggplant ones.

Boring.

I'm picturing one of the "As Seen On TV" kitchen gimmicks where they
show some bobblehead breaking eggs all over the stove.

Here it is:

That's Julie trying to make calzones.

Where in the **** are you looking up these recipes? Calzones are
mixed Italian cheeses with ricotta and (should be) some sort of
meat. Optional green pepper and onion. Marinara on the side.

You'd be better of just making a grilled cheese sandwich.

One thing I don't get about Julie is why she has that awful pic of her face that appears on GoogleGroups. One thing I've noticed is that most people look better wearing Covid-19 masks. Julie would benefit more than most if her face were masked.

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not on Google Groups.

You have a picture attached to your google account. It shows it on
your postings on Google Groups even though they're not posted Google
Groups. Before you object and lie, maybe you should look at Google
Groups first...

It's the same hideous picture on your Facebook page, too. And on
your Frontier.net website (here we go again...I think that was
courtesy of Bryan IIRC).

That pic was never on my Frontier website. And no, it's not there. I did
check when I transferred my files to my new computer and that link came up.

If you find it hideous? Oh well. I don't care.

Online. You can get cheese calzones. Just like you can get cheese pizza. I
don't know about cheese stromboli. I think that usually has meat.

Never come across a Calzone like that before.

Eh? What sort of Calzone is that?

I don't. But I used to make them when I worked at a restaurant. In
simple terms, they were one of many pizzas on the menu, folded in
half.

That's not what they are in PA. They always have at least some ricotta
inside and no sauce. There was a pizza place that opened near here then
quickly closed due to family illness. Theirs was the same but had too much
garlic in it for me.

I use for pizza . Because that's the way WE like them .

You can make your calzone any way you like - unless you're cooking for your spouse. You can fold it any way you like too. I don't make calzone because I prefer a hand pie made with short crust rather than pizza dough - but I used to make them just fine. The question is got is "is it a calzone if it's made with short crust?"

Here's a couple of calzone made with pizza dough.

Unless you fill it with sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. Then it's a pastzone. I've made pasties too. I just don't put no stinkin' neeps in them.

That's because neither pasties nor calzoni come from Brazil.

Calzone (word and recipe) is Italian.

How do you know, though? Like how do you know if Chicago deep dish is really pizza or not.

Easy. Pizzas are Italian. Chicago isn't in Italy.

You can make your calzone any way you like - unless you're cooking for your
spouse. You can fold it any way you like too. I don't make calzone because I
prefer a hand pie made with short crust rather than pizza dough - but I used
to make them just fine. The question is got is "is it a calzone if it's made
with short crust?"

Those things were made so long ago that I have no idea what they were stuffed with. Mostly, they are pizza dough stuffed with pizza stuff. It might have been that I was making a pizza and decided to change course in midstream.. That could happen when making pizzas.

I think food should be enjoyed how you want to, so if you like it, keep eating it.
But that being said, I prefer my calzones to be like a heavy loaded pizza folded in half. You have more structure to cram more tasty food in there.
I think having sauce helps prevent dryness and adds more flavor. But beware, a soggy calzone is a sad calzone to me.

Have you ever tried a pastel? Its a Brazilian food like a calzone, in that it is dough stuffed with meats and cheese, in any combination you like. Although it is fried, not baked. Not very healthy but it sure is tasty!

Why yes, everybody knows that a fried pie is better than a baked pie on any day of the week.
