    I find the Dr. Oetker pizza crust not too tasty. Shortcrust, not a yeast crust.
    Since No Frills has McCain's Thin Crust on sale tomorrow, I'll ask brother to use up the coupon and get a pizza after work (he brought home takeout Chicago-style pizza and it's an acquired taste).

    I would expect McCain products to soon take a drastic change....and not in the good way.

    McCain Foods closing French fry plant in P.E.I.

    PEI is known for their amazing potatoes. Let me guess, now the fries will be coming from China?

    My brother, upon hearing about the McCain pizza sale to Dr. Oetker, commented that he noticed the McCain's pizzas looking smaller of late.

    we always buy Delissio Vege deluxe ( not from Mc Cain) and we noticed this one is also looking smaller....i guess it'S the new trick compagny found to make more money.....they make smaller boxes, jars, etc....but we still pay the price for the bigger size....

    we used to have 1L yogourts and now they are 750 ml....lately, i noticed the 2L of iced cream is no longer 2 L.....

    When it comes to thin crust, I do like the McCain thin crust and the Dr. Oetker Casa di Mama and Ristorante. Hopefully they keep the recipe for the thin crust

    Tried the Delissio vintage recently and they were pretty good. Don't like how thick crust turns out in frozen pizza.
