Pepperoni, bacon, pineapple, and jalapeño. The ultimate combination of sweet, spicy, salty, and savory.

Whats even crazier is the ethnobotanical path to GET those ingredients together.

Tomatoes had to be brought from south america. Bred to grow at lower altitudes. Peasants had to be persuaded to eat them (they were formally animal feed because they were from the nightshade family and peasants didn't trust the fruit not to be poisonous since the leaves are) and then enough time (100 years) had to pass for them to develop cuisine around them.

In Greece, eating feta cheese with watermelon(or melon) is somewhat common. You combine the sweetness of the watermelon with the saltiness of feta. And both things are cold.

Pizza is a very fatty, often greasy food, and acidic taste balances out greasiness in the mouth

It really depends on the quality of the pineapple to me. Sometimes it is dry and it sucks. Sometimes it is kinda melted, which gives a sweet to the pizza without making the texture weird.

Pineapple, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, red onion, and balsamic drizzle. My recent stroke of genius from the local unlimited topping pizza place.

Agreed. It's amazing. I always spring for pineapple on pizza

I was once in a Filipino grocery in L.A. and they had corn and cheese ice cream. I don't mean they had corn ice cream and they had cheese ice cream, I mean they had an ice cream flavor called "corn and cheese."

Yup. You can get it in the USA at Asian grocery stores, and even in some American stores located in areas with large Asian populations. And it’s fucking delicious.

Omg, yuck. I love curry, but this is insanity.

Honesty that'd probably be better. Ham is so bland on pizza; it can't compete with the sauce. I always do pineapple and pepperoni. The spice from the pepperoni cuts through the sweetness really nicely.

I admit that I haven’t tried the hawaiian pizza at every joint around here, but the ones I have tried or noticed still use ham.

Traditional schmaditional. They never had tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, corn or a bunch of other things until Meso-America was ransacked.

They make pizza dulce with Nutella, so I can get my pizza with pineapple

They don't have to serve you what you want if it's not on the menu, they can try to accommodate if they really want but that's about it.

But if you don't have the ingredients they cannot really do that can they.

He was born in Greece and became a Canadian citizen. That made him a Canadian from Greece.

Multiculturalism was a mistake.

I personally cannot stand pineapple on my pizza (despite wanting to like it). And really do not care what other people put on their food.

I'm not too sure if pineapples are native from the lands currently controlled by Brazil, Paraguay, or both. The Amerindians farmed them quite a bit, so they spread even to to a chunk of North America; and the native range of a relative hints me that the genus originated further west.

That's just a guess though - the point is that nobody knows for sure.

pineapples are farmed a lot in Hawaii, though.

I feel one day people will learn to appreciate Brazilian pizza. We're not in that time yet though.

Don't forget the curry. The bananas always must come with curry, but the cardamom goes in the pastries.

THAT'S NOT A REAL PIZZA!

The idea reminds me Roman (as in the city, not the empire) pizza al taglio.

I wonder how they're baking the dough. A 100m large oven? Roll in, roll out? Multiple separated chunks? Baking it rolled, then unrolling it?

Describing American pizza and Italian pizza as being the same thing is imperialism

Aeneas and his chiefs,
with fair Iulus, under spreading boughs
of one great tree made resting-place, and set
the banquet on. Thin loaves of altar-bread
along the sward to bear their meats were laid
(such was the will of Jove), and wilding fruits
rose heaping high, with Ceres' gift below.
Soon, all things else devoured, their hunger turned
to taste the scanty bread, which they attacked
with tooth and nail audacious, and consumed
both round and square of that predestined leaven.
“Look, how we eat our tables even!” cried
Iulus, in a jest.

This is from a translation of the Aeneid, published in 19 BCE.

and this is from Pompeii, buried in 79 CE.

Pizza is at the very least Roman, if not older. (Potentially Greek.)

And before someone mentions tomatoes, pizza bianca is a thing.

Hey, I'm with you. I think it's awful and that the people who enjoy it should be taken out back and shot.

But I just don't have the energy to take my wife out back and shoot her.

One of the worst creations ever.

Are you talking about the sadly deceased genius, or the globally popular creation of his?

Forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing
