The Most Controversial Topic of Our Times

This one is important...

 

Yes or no, pineapple on pizza?

[imlad]

I say that pineapple on pizza is an abomination and for the love of humanity it should not, must not, exist.

Pineapple on pizza depends greatly on what else is on the pizza. A BBQ chicken pizza, either white or with BBQ sauce instead of pizza sauce, is delicious. Several years ago we made a pizza with mahimahi, BBQ sauce, and pineapple, and it was excellent.

Pizza good. Pineapple good. Pineapple on pizza good, if you like it. Is nit mandatory, but is true and permitted.

[Zorlon]

I do not care for that combination of flavors and textures.

 

Strangely though, I have found that powdered garlic added to milk is not actually unpleasant.

Both of those statements I 100% agree with. I just firmly believe that pineapple (along with certain other fruits and some vegetables) should never be cooked in any way. And I shudder at the idea of combining that flavor with a tomato based suace. But then, I like to dip Nestle Crunch bars into 7-11 nacho cheese sauce.

I don't know what to say.?

(Although I do notice a very Aes Sedai-like avoidance of saying its good)

Pineapple gives some of us oral ulcers when eaten raw.

 

aside from that it's fine to say you don't like something, but it's a different thing to say it should be forbidden.

Pineapple on pizza should probably be a crime.

There is a thing called hyperbole, and I'm often guilty of it, I admit. And apparently, so are others (I mean, it is the internet afterall?)

[TheSociopath]

Pineapple on pizza is a must.

That's a concept I can absolutely get behind. I loathe pineapple. Of course I'm not a fan of tomato paste/sauce either so I don't like traditional pizza. Thankfully some very kind people have started making garlic base pizzas and those, I absolutely adore. But not with pineapple! Or any other kind of fruit for that matter. 

 

[Illian Tear]

Pineapple shouldn't be allowed on pizza, unless with ham which I can tolerate.

[Lucas Morton]

That's an ancient battle. I think that's like choosing between this and some other type of game. If that is the thing for you - cool. If not - that is also cool. That's just how I think.

People: "I don't want fruit on my pizza."

Tomato is botanically a fruit, but nutritionally a vegetable.  Same thing with green beans, actually.  I guess it depends on who's making the argument, heh.

What trips me out is that Egg Plants, Tomatoes, Peppers, and Potatoes are all in the Nightshade family of flower plants. (Potatoes even grow a poisonous fruit!)

If that trips you up, this will probably blow your mind...

Nah, that I knew.

It just gets me that a Potato is a Tuber, and a Tomato is a Fruit. You eat two completely different parts of closely related plants!
Course, there is this.

Dragon Tail Radish.
This Radish you don't eat the root, you eat the seed pod! (I didn't even know about radish seed pods until I let one stay in the garden too long.

[Delirium]

Pineapple does not belong on a pizza.

 

Beetroot absolutely belongs on a beef burger.

 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Beetroot is fantastic in nearly every application - that I have tried at least. 

 

Threads like these always make wince a little, after reading that a major red flag on dating profiles are people that list whether they like pineapple on pizza in their profiles as this indicates a complete lack of personality or even the understanding of what one is. I must say I don't fully agree with this, but it has definitely made me wary about expressing an opinion on the matter in public, lol.

Give me my pineapple and ham pizza! With thin, streaky bacon and roasted red peppers please! 😋

 

Now, what I cannot get my head around is sweet corn on pizza. That's just weird!

Like, the whole dang sweet corn on the cob? 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Chicken and sweetcorn. That is so normal, I cannot begin to see why not.

 Boiled & sliced off the cob but yep, you got the idea. 

 It is possible this alone will send me to therapy. 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Wait, you guys need an explanation of what sweetcorn is? Sweet jebus that makes my day. 🤣
