I'm a huge fan of sweet and savoury in the same dish. Pineapple on pizza is great, but there are a lot of dishes from South-Asia that combine unique flavours. One of my favourites is rice with a yellow curry sauce with raisins and peach slices on the side. There can even be nuts in the rice to mix it up some.
People need to step outside of their food comfort zone and try out different things.

I agree! My rule is, generally, if someone likes it there’s something about it worth liking. I can’t always find that thing (sometimes for genetic reasons, like cilantro and, I suspect, very hoppy beers), but I’m always willing to try.
This isn’t only true of food, by the way. Music is another place this is true. If you can find why people appreciate a type of music, you can usually learn to appreciate it even if you didn’t at first.
Heh, broadly I agree. I think I know what people like about it: very familiar sound, chord progressions, themes. But to me it mostly sounds pretty much the same.
That said, some of what it finds its roots in is worth hearing. Bluegrass, southern rock, etc.
Nah we don't have a common enemy, you couldn't accept my taste for pineapples, I will not start being best buddies with you just because you think there's someone with a worse taste, you'll just use me to attack them and when there are no more kiwi pizza lovers you'll go back to attacking me, the pineapple pizza lover. Either grow up and accept people like different flavors than you, or the pineapple kiwi pizza alliance will make you'll taste flavor combos you wish could go back to hell where they came (this is an allegory to queers who want to exclude queers more "flamboyant" than them so that the heteros can leave them alone)
Yeah, I have no problems if you honestly give something a try and don't like it. But the people who judge without trying are acting like small children. I'm not sure why anybody gives their uninformed opinions the time of day.
I will absolutely judge anything before I try it. A best guess before trying is perfectly fine as long as it is updated after trying.
My experience with trying brussel sprouts as a kid was that they were terrible, just mushy and bland. As an adult I had roasted and properly seasoned brussel sprouts that were fantastic. It is important to be able to judge before, after, and revise based on new knowledge!
In this case I have had sweet fruit on pizza and my judgement is that I would probably like kiwi fresh, but not as leftovers.
there's a place nearby that does a fantastic bacon and pineapple. perfect size bacon crumbles, crushed pineapple instead of chunks or tidbits. fuck now i want one and i'm not supposed to eat that without beer, doctor's orders.
I'd like to see the fruit chunked into smaller bits, a little think/charred red onion, some matchstick peppers, oregano and basil, maybe a light grate of lime zest.
I'd fr love to try this. Im down with lots of pizza. Of course everyone on lemmy is discriminating, yall love to talk about how open minded you are, but just add some fruit to a pizza and witness the discrimination.
I am up voting both your comment and the pizza crimes one, because in practice I agree with you (and personally like pineapple but hate pepperoni, sausage, and olives) I do enjoy faux rage about it too.
I mean pickled jalapeños are great (especially with pineapple) on pizza so it makes sense that something similar for folks that don’t like the heat would be tasty too
Nah, man. Pickles are an established thing on pizza. At least in my parts of the world. Try a pizza with kielbasa, onions and pickles if You get the chance.
I've had a hamburger pizza that had hamburger, onions, pickles cooked on and then lettuce added after kind of like a taco pizza. The pickles worked well as part of the whole package, but would probably be overwhelming as a single topping.
New Zealand style pizza: kiwi, chicken, and mutton as toppings. Guaranteed to make the new Zealander in your life very angry you attributed this to them
Why? This fits under the pineapple on pizza category. It's exactly the same concept. At least now you get to feel how everyone feels about pineapple on pizza. :V
I don’t love pineapple on pizza, personally, but you’re ao right that this is just a pineapple hater thibking that the people who do love it would actually give a fuck like they do.
“I hate you and so you must hate me! Let’s hate this new thing together!”
“Umm…no I just think you’re weird and ignore you.”
I've always disliked kiwi, only recently discovered it's because I'm allergic to it. Mild reactions so far but now I'll just avoid it altogether because subsequent exposures can cause worse reactions.
I will find you. When I find you I am going to torture you until you cannot handle it anymore. And when you cannot handle it anymore you will die. But when you die you will not relax, because I will be there with you.
If I had to describe what a kiwi tastes like, it's somewhere between a lemon and a pineapple. More sour than a pineapple, but not so much so that you couldn't eat it raw comfortably.
People that legitimately judge people based on their pizza topping preferences are on the same level of emotional intelligence as those who refuse friendships with people who root for a rival sports team
I am a dill pickle on pizza fan. Works well with red, but it really shines with olive oil, pesto, mozarella, some dill weed sprinkled over the cheese, then slice coins from the vlassic dills (or any crunchy salty pickle - not the sweet stuff. YUCK).
I wouldn't try it but whatever floats your boat. Who the fuck am I to tell someone what they should eat and like? Matter of fact, who the fuck are you?
My daughter and wife both made the appropriate horrified, shocked face when I showed them this.
Personally, as long as I can have my deep pan, spicy beef x2, spicy pork x2, spicy sausage x2, doner meat x2, peperonni, fresh chilli, and jalapeno pizza I don't care what other people have on theirs. My wife likes sweetcorn and pineapple, and knowing this I still married her.
I’d try it…
🍴
Yeah seriously, kiwi is fantastic, pizza is fantastic, kiwi on pizza? Probably fantastic. If it’s like pineapple it’ll caramelize when it cooks.

Except country bleurgh

Except Johnny Cash is cool
Will accept. He and Dolly Parton are the exceptions to the rule.
Gonna have to suggest adding Willie Nelson to this list.
I’m sad my distaste for country kept me from discovering Stardust until I was well into my 40s…
You're right, Willie is added.
Sweet and Sour Pork
Lemon Chicken Rice
etc.
Barbeque sauce is like half sugar

Also “LGB drop the T”. Once all the trans people are in camps, who do you think they’re coming for next, LGBs?
I’m convinced.
I love salami, capers and banana on a pizza, don't judge if you haven't tried it!
Yeah, I have no problems if you honestly give something a try and don't like it. But the people who judge without trying are acting like small children. I'm not sure why anybody gives their uninformed opinions the time of day.
Controversial but I can't help but be curious...
I will absolutely judge anything before I try it. A best guess before trying is perfectly fine as long as it is updated after trying.

Idk about banana and capers, but salami is a somewhat standard pizza topping
Isn't salami just fancy pepperoni?
Theres plenty of fancy salami though.
I feel like I'm the only one with no strong opinion either way about pineapple on pizza.
I'm with you. I'd never order a Hawaiian but if you put one in front of me I totally be happy with it.
It is named Hawaiian, because he used a brand of pineapple called Hawaiian, was created in Ontario Canada. Portland Oregon already had papaya and pineapple pizza.
there's a place nearby that does a fantastic bacon and pineapple. perfect size bacon crumbles, crushed pineapple instead of chunks or tidbits. fuck now i want one and i'm not supposed to eat that without beer, doctor's orders.
Woah I’m not that gung ho, I’d like to try this first.
real pizza fan
I’m not pizza racist. I just won’t eat deep dish consistently
I'd like to see the fruit chunked into smaller bits, a little think/charred red onion, some matchstick peppers, oregano and basil, maybe a light grate of lime zest.
... I'd try it..
You are all banned from entering Italy. I will personally deport you all and put your asses in a reeducation camp.
This is tribalism, pure unadulterated satanic ritualistic shit. If jesus was here he would be crying now.
Nah I wanna try that I love kiwis
a kiwi strawberry dessert pizza sounds fantastic
Genuinely I think this would be more enjoyable than pineapple on pizza. It's not that I hate pineapple on pizza, I just hate pineapple in general.
Yeah, I hate kiwis (the fruit), so I wouldn't eat this, but I love pineapples on pizza, so I'd imagine it'd taste good for people who like kiwis.
I've never tried roasted kiwis, but roasted peaches are absolutely delicious. What about peach pizza?
I've had that - peach, prosciutto, and burrata with a balsamic glaze on a white pie. Delicious.
i've had peach prosciutto and provolone with the balsamic glaze and it was amazing. i'm now angry peach season is over.
I'd fr love to try this. Im down with lots of pizza. Of course everyone on lemmy is discriminating, yall love to talk about how open minded you are, but just add some fruit to a pizza and witness the discrimination.
Fuck it, I will stand with the kiwi pizza people. Pass me a slice and I will see what I think.
I agree. Can't knock it until I try it.
FFS let people eat what they want in peace.
I am up voting both your comment and the pizza crimes one, because in practice I agree with you (and personally like pineapple but hate pepperoni, sausage, and olives) I do enjoy faux rage about it too.
Feel free to hate me then. My favorite pizza for a while was topped with
Eh, the only thing I dislike is the olives, and I've picked em off before. Sounds tasty.
You can pry my kiwizza from my cold, dead hands.
I mean pickled jalapeños are great (especially with pineapple) on pizza so it makes sense that something similar for folks that don’t like the heat would be tasty too
Nah, man. Pickles are an established thing on pizza. At least in my parts of the world. Try a pizza with kielbasa, onions and pickles if You get the chance.
I've had a hamburger pizza that had hamburger, onions, pickles cooked on and then lettuce added after kind of like a taco pizza. The pickles worked well as part of the whole package, but would probably be overwhelming as a single topping.
Oh no, that poor bird. All for an awful pizza.
New Zealand style pizza: kiwi, chicken, and mutton as toppings. Guaranteed to make the new Zealander in your life very angry you attributed this to them
Nah, I don't judge people based on their food preferences.
What about cannibals?
it's not the eating other people i judge, it's the methods of acquisition
Dinner with a Cannibal: The Complete History of Mankind's Oldest Taboo by Carole A. Travis (2008) is a great read ;)
Why? This fits under the pineapple on pizza category. It's exactly the same concept. At least now you get to feel how everyone feels about pineapple on pizza. :V

I love Hawaiian BBQ Pizza.

Potato on pizza 1000% victory
Potato and bacon pizza is where its at. Maybe even some peppers, onions and mushrooms as well
Cubed or whole?
Sliced
Hell, nah. Pineapple and kiwi on pizza are the same category.
Yeah i struggle to see how this is any different
You don't peel kiwis before putting them on pizza COME ON
Fuck yeah - I love to floss and pizza!
Do you mean kiwi skin? Or you talking about something else?
Yep, kiwi skin.
To be fair, it's not that bad and wouldn't be flossy at all, I just thought it was funny
I absolutely would eat that.
I mean, I'd try it, I love pineapple pizza but wouldn't expect to
"I said key lime pie not a kiwi pie!"
"...no, no, that's fine I'm still going to eat it."
I've always disliked kiwi, only recently discovered it's because I'm allergic to it. Mild reactions so far but now I'll just avoid it altogether because subsequent exposures can cause worse reactions.

I've never eaten kiwi, so I don't know what to say. I generally hate fruit. But the only one I do eat is pineapple but only on pizza.
If I had to describe what a kiwi tastes like, it's somewhere between a lemon and a pineapple. More sour than a pineapple, but not so much so that you couldn't eat it raw comfortably.
I would expect the cooking process to sweeten up the kiwi, but that is just a guess.
Pineapple is crunchy. That's why it fits on pizza. In my opinion at least.
This is a breach of the Geneva Convention
Needs more anchovies and pineapple.
Maybe some durian and Surströmming, too.
Now we're talking.
Ate a quattro formagi bianca with figs, last week. It was delicious.
It's torches and pitchforks time people.
I've no clue why you've been downvoted twice for your amusing comment
Probably disgusting Kiwi-pizza eaters.
Hi, I'm the enemy
People that legitimately judge people based on their pizza topping preferences are on the same level of emotional intelligence as those who refuse friendships with people who root for a rival sports team
I concur (although I roll my eyes at the idea of rooting for a sports team, especially if it's big)

Words to live by
Seams like the exact depravity a filthy pp* goblin would eat
*(P)ineapple (P)izza
Can confirm, am a pp goblin and I'd try this at least once.
thats alot of kiwi on a pizza.
Does that make it an Australian pizza?
I am waiting for the Aussies to agrily reply to this one.

Fake outrage was funnier when we didn't have real problems to argue about.
