Census Pineapple On Pizza

These poll results are a key indicator of civilizational collapse.

 

*munch munch munch*

 

Perhaps, but it'll be tasty.

 

Tomatoes are fruits...we've had fruit on our pizzas this whole time.

 

So if it has tomato sauce and pineapple, it's basically a salad...

 

I think you know where to go.

 

For anyone who has issues with pineapple on pizza.

I raise you this:

 

@Juliet316, how about pineapple just by itself, not on pizza?

 

Why did you up this ungodly thread?

 

I dunno, seemed like an appropriate place to post the question.

 

Okay...for a moment I was worried you'd say you've never eaten pineapple in your life

 

Had pineapple BBQ pizza last night.

 

Oh nice, I had never seen this thread before.

Pineapple on pizza with ham and cheese is perfection. Most people who diss it haven't even tried it in my experience.
I was also very skeptical before I tried it, but I loved it instantly. The sweet and salty flavors combination works amazingly well.
Thanks for the inspiration, I know what I am having today for lunch!

 

Pineapple on ham pizza is indeed peak culture.

 

I'm in Finland, so pineapple on pizza is a standard topping, available everywhere. I can't stand it, myself. That said, if someone held me at gunpoint and made me choose between pineapple or banana on pizza, I'd pick pineapple... Thankfully banana hasn't made it here, yet, but the mere idea makes me sick even if I've never tried it.

 

Never read through the entire thread, but I would like to point out that tomatoes and all your different peppers and fruit also. Not veggies.

 

Swedish Banana Pizza (SBP) has recently been classified as a tool of torture, and thus ruled illegal under the Geneva Conventions.

 

OMG thank you..... when I hear people pointing out how "tomato is a fruit" I cannot even, as valley girls would say.

The botanical definition about fruits and vegetables isn't even consistent within itself, nor is it a universal and global commandment to be followed. Classification of species has many examples of items belonging in a spectrum, rather than perfectly fit in a category. And if we were to call tomato a fruit, then we would also have to do the same for peppers. And a lot more vegetables.

Since this is a culinary discussion, tomato is a vegetable and that settles it

Having said that, I am not going to diss banana on pizza before trying it. But I also might never want to try it.

 

Ah, but if there is no strict line between fruits and vegetables in the culinary sense, then it's perfectly fine for fruits to go on pizza!

 

I've been doing a lot of research and I've learned that pizza truly originates from Hawaii, and that pineapple was actually one of the original pizza toppings. According to Hawaiian legends, pizza was actually a gift, and a curse, given to native Hawaiians by a trickster aspect of the creator god Kāne named Piz'za (hence pizza often shortened to 'za). He went to the Hawaiian people when they were observing a period of fasting promised to the gods, appearing mysteriously from the water. Praising their devotion, Piz'za offered to reward them with the secret of the divine food of the gods, that would be more delicious than anything they had ever eaten. The people, forgetting their promised fast, enthusiastically accepted without question. Little did they know they were being tested. Piz'za had the people gather the necessary ingredients, showed them how to prepare a pizza, built a large earthen oven, climbed inside with the uncooked pizza, and ordered the oven covered. As ordered, the oven was uncovered 30 minutes later, and inside was a perfectly cooked Hawaiian pizza, or rather, a perfectly cooked pizza. Piz'za himself had miraculously disappeared. The pizza was thirteen feet in diameter and fed the entire tribe. As promised, it was the most delicious thing they had ever eaten, giving them great pleasure. Truly the food of the gods. That was when Piz'za's trick was revealed. Mere minutes after amply filling the bellies of the entire tribe, the entire tribe grew hungry again, hungrier than ever before. They had a voracious appetite for yet more pizza. The curse of pizza was revealed; it's so delicious, one can never get enough. This was their punishment for breaking the fast they had promised. The people heard laughter coming from the water, and turned to see Piz'za blow them a chef's kiss and roar with laughter before returning to the sea from whence he came. The pizza, high in carbs, led the people to grow happy but fat. Eventually, the people learned to laugh with the god Piz'za; what a trick he had pulled! After all, while they were cursed with an endless hunger for pizza, pizza was also the most delicious food on this earth. Truly they were a people cursed with awesome.

Now of course we all know this is just a legend. The real Piz'za was likely just a local Hawaiian chef who invented pizza.

Where recorded history diverges from the truth is how pizza spread to the rest of the planet. It goes back to the discovery of Hawaii, which history says was discovered by James Cook in 1778. Truthfully, Hawaii was discovered much earlier, by a Hungarian explorer named Howard in the 16th century, who took pizza back to his patrons in Italy. The Italians, at that point long known for their poor culinary skills (the true history of Italian food is not what you've been told), claimed the delicious food as their own invention. At that point, pineapples had yet to spread to Europe, leaving Italians unable to replicate pizza properly, so they replaced pineapples with various toppings, including the tomato itself, which had been brought to Europe by the conquistadors. The true, original topping of pineapple had been replaced, and people came to know pizza without it. A sad tale of paradise lost.

We fast forward to the 1960s, when Greek Canadian Sam Papagiannis visited Hawaii on vacation and discovered an odd local variant of pizza topped with pineapple. None of the other tourists dare try it, the idea was so foreign to them. Sam, being an adventurous man, gave it a try, and naturally loved the pizza as it was meant to be, as it was (perchance) passed down by the god Piz'za. Realizing the financial opportunity, he brought the secret back to Canada and opened a restaurant featuring the true pizza dish. Little did he know that his discovery and resulting financial success would threaten a group of Italian gangsters who had cornered the American pizza industry by forcing pizza makers to put pepperoni (truly the most disgusting topping), invented by Italian Americans in the early 1900s, on every pizza made in America. Italians, who had falsely claimed pizza as their own invention, declared war on Papagiannis to prevent anyone from discovering the one, true delicious original pizza. The war has been waging ever since, with pineapple only recently starting to gain acceptance among the few who have been brave enough to try it and discover the truth . . . .

 

I hate you.
