Forgot to Remove Pizza Base

So I bought a Sainsburys pizza and like a doofus I wasn't paying attention and left the polystyrene type base on the bottom of the pizza... It smelled a bit funny (not a lot) when I took it out of the oven but I ate it anyway.

Do you think this will poison me?

(It's the 2nd time I've done it, I can be a bit absent minded sometimes)

I've done that only once. Once was enough.
The base was all flappy and non-crispy making it taste rotten.

Chigago Town's new Pizza's To Go are great though.
They come in a pan which you shove in the oven, then you can keep it on that when it's cooked.
No need for plates.

But it's 3 pounds (on special offer at sainsbury's at 2 pound - staff discount = 1.70 at the moment - still too much)

Yeah, I did that once, thinking it was a little tray that you were supposed to cook it on...how very wrong I was. And just to make things worse, I burnt my hand trying to get it out, then late when I was scarping melted plastic off the inside of the pizza I accidently inhaled some of the very very caustic oven cleaner spray.

Not my lucky day.

I ate the pizza though.

Hang on...so...you're saying that before you went to University you'd never cooked a pizza before? You were 18, and had never cooked a pizza?

Is this correct? Or had you just never cooked a pizza with the plastic bit on the bottom?

Because that seriously surprises me.

I have eaten much plastic in the past due to my proclivity for chewing pens. It has, as of this moment, not proved fatal.

Yes I've tasted ink (of both the fountain and biro species) many a time. Swallowed it too in fact. Maybe I should invest in chewing gum...

I tried that already (investing in chewing gum) :redface:

but for some reason I can not chew it long enough and I swallow it :confused:

I would go bankrupt if I had to buy so much chewing gum but even before that would happen my stomach would get stuck.. :biggrin:

so no.. I'll better stay with pens and face the possibility of tasting the horrible ink again :wink:
