Pineapple on pizza is just wrong, in so many ways.

This is blasphemy! I like pineapple on pizza. My favorite combination is pineapple and pepperoni. It has a bit more zing than the more popular pineapple and Canadian bacon "Hawaiian" pizza. After all, Hawaii is not a part of Canada!

As I look for ways to enrich and expand my faith, I may soon be trying pineapple in tacos.

[gethane]

Me too! i love pineapple on pizza. I can imagine I'd like warm pineapple on just about anything, especially now while I'm pregnant.

[Akots]

Wow... thought I was the only one!

Of course, those of you who eat pinapple pizza without mushrooms are heretics and must suffer the Wheel Of Pain.

Then you, my friend, are clearly going to hell.

What kind of sick, twisted and perverse mind would put a fruit on a pizza?

It's you, and people like you, that are what is wrong with this country.

If God had intended for pineapples to be on pizza he would have put Italians in Hawaii.

OK, now you've gone too far.

I realize now that you must be stopped before these vile ideas infect our youth.

I am from Texas, sir, and I implore you to keep your commie pinko left-winged fruit out of our traditional native dishes.

I knew the day that some tree-hugging Yankee put beans in chile that this day would come.

[roger]

Has it occured to any of the pizza/pineapple supporters that you are all criminally insane? :p

[Fade]

This thread is an affront to good taste.

A reminder that tomatoes are a fruit.

[Akots]

BZZ. Tomatos are a berry. As are pumpkins, cranberries, grapes, mangos, cabbage and wombats. And if you have anything to say about that, your an Edamn racist!!

Also. In addition to being a berry, the tomato is also related to Deadly Night Shade. (Now THAT'S poisoning the well!)

Canadian Bacon and Sauerkraut

Or, if you don't have canadian bacon, regular bacon will suffice.

I am not a big fan of kraut, but like it a lot on brats and pizza.

My wife and I grew up 3 hours away from each other, and didn't meet until we got to college. However, when we discovered that we both had an affinity for cb/sauerkraut pizza, we knew it was meant to be.

Some local places will put sauerkraut on pizza (although they usually don't list it as a topping). We look for places that serve ruebens or stromboli or something like that has kraut in it. I asked the guy at the local joint how often he gets a sauerkraut order, and he said that it is once or twice a month. He knows of at least one other party in the area that will order it besides us.

I gotta say, though, we have had a lot of times where the waitress came back from the kitchen to double check that we had requested sauerkraut.

Oh, going to cloud the issue with facts are we?

Just the kind of left-wing femi-nazi commie-pinko response I would expect from you.

[synaesthesia]

I often eat mango on pizza. Where I work, a variety of fruit is very common on the pizzas.

[Checkmite]

Pizza is a traditionally masculine dish; whereas pineapples are a traditionally feminine fruit. This is a clear example of the feminist matriarchal conspiracy trying to inject itself into anything that even has a semblance of maleness left.

[Trollbane]

Reminds me of the scary Turtles pizzas a nearby restaurant served when I was little.. It cant really get any worse than a banana/whip-cream pizza. Pineapple comes pretty close tho.

[shemp]

Pineapple on pizza is like ketchup on hot dogs. It is an affront to all that is holy and righteous! It is the work of the Devil, I tells ye!

[jimlintott]

Without pineapple it's just izza.
Pineapple, pepperoni and Italian sausage, mmm.

You need to buy the canned sliced pineapple rings. Then you play ring toss.

Sorry, the holes aren't even close to being big enough.

[Chris Haynes]

I like pineapple and Canadian bacon... but I also like PEARS on my pizza!

Pears and gorgonzola pizza, YUM!

[bjornart]

Pineapple on pizza is gross. I'd like to appeal to authority at this point and quote the grand master:


Even so, there is no excuse for putting pineapple on pizza.

-Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent
page 200 of my edition.

[arcticpenguin]

I never read The Last Continent. I did read The Lost Continent by Bill Bryson. I found it hilarious, but I can recall no mention of pizza or pineapple.

[Upchurch]

You people are SICK. SICK, I say!

The victim pig having an apple stuck in it's mouth is hardly less masculine for the sweetness the fruit imbues to the slaughterd flesh.

EWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!


Pineapple on pizza, that's like putting little dead fishes on pizza. :eek:

It's really difficult to get to the worthwhile inner parts, and even if you are able to, it's only worthwhile to get to them at certain times. Whereas women are....

Never mind. I get it now.

[renata]

Pineapple pizza is the only thing that got me through Inorganic portion of my Chemistry class sane.

There was this little shop in Ithaca that would deliver till 2 am, as I recall. The delivery boys knew us by name that semester. I think we had sausage with ours. Interestingly, I never had a craving for it after. I think I forever associated pineapple pizza with chemistry.

[HarryKeogh]

i love pineapple on pizza. then i wash it down with some lukewarm milk.

pineapple, broccoli and duck sausage have no business being on a pizza.

[Ladewig]

Pineapple - yes.

Pumpkins, cranberries, grapes, mangos, cabbage - no

I don't eat hot dogs, but if I did: no ketchup.

[Loki]

Pineapple on pizza has strong scriptural support (both old and new testament) :

Genesis 28:10 - And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

Genesis 28:11 - And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

Genesis 28:12 - And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God eating Pizza with pineapple upon it so.


Luke 15:1 - Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.

Luke 15:2 - And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth pizza topped in pineapple with them.

Even the Roman Catholic Catechism supports the use of pineapple on pizza.

From CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, SECOND EDITION (http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p122a3p3.htm#II)
(PART ONE, THE PROFESSION OF FAITH ... III. THE MYSTERIES OF JESUS' PUBLIC LIFE ... Jesus' temptations ) 540 Jesus' temptation reveals the way in which the Son of God is Messiah, contrary to the way Satan proposes to him and the way men wish to attribute to him. This is why Christ vanquished the Tempter for us: "For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sinning." By the solemn forty days of Lent, and throught the Holy Union of pineapple and pizza, the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert
Really, the evidence is overwheming - even god likes pineapple on his pizza.

[triadboy]

When I was stationed in Minot, North Dakota in the AF. A bunch of Dak buddies of mine suddenly got the urge for a pizza. Before I could say 'pepperoni', they ALL matter-of-factly ordered pineapple and sauerkraut!



(It wasn't bad I guess)

[Mercutio]

Pineapple on pizza, I am reliably told, is one of the signs of the apocalypse. Pestilence, Plague, and Pineapple Pizza, or something like that. Not that I won't eat it, if somebody else is buying. If I'm buying, it's double garlic and anchovy--when I was in college, 3 out of 4 years there was nobody else who would try to bum pizza off me if (and only if) I ordered double garlic and anchovy. (If nobody is around, I'll order--or better, make--tomato and garlic pizza. As for the vegetable/fruit/berry tomato question, the question is groundless. Put it on my pizza, I don't give a rat's @$$ what it is.)










(mmmmmmmmm, rat's @$$ pizza...........beats pineapple.....)

[evildave]

We call Hawaiian pizza "Girl Pizza" at work. We'll eat it anyway, but it's "Girl Pizza".

I like PESTO pizza. With mushrooms, olives, artichoke hearts... AND GARLIC. More GARLIC. I don't care if you're getting sick from just looking at it, add MORE. Do you call that "too much"? I can still see the pizza under it! Keep it comming!

The alternate recipe is just pesto & cheese with XXX garlic, and pepperoni. This looks absolutely revolting. Green, with lumps, and red sores; a little like tuberculosis on toast. A good way to ensure nobody begs for it. Tastes great.

Pizza always needs enough garlic that you can smell it comming even if you're under ten feet of water and your nose is blocked.

[xouper]

I'm allergic to pineapple.

[Loki]

xouper,

I'm allergic to pineapple.
May I suggest p-ZombiePineapple? It has all the taste, but none of the qualia.

This is blasphemy! I like pineapple on pizza.

Then you are wrong. I stand by my original assertion.

Pineapple on pizza is kinda like cantaloupe in fruit salad. It ruins the whole thing. My roommate afgter college used to like to order that foul Canadian Bacon and Pineapple atrocity that he thought was pizza. I'd get half of a sausage and mushroom pizza (the real one true pizza) co-baked with his train wreck of a gastronomic experience on the other side. His gross monstrosity always overpowered the subtle play of the delicate balance of perfection demonstrated by the intermingling of the sauce, the sausage, and the mushrooms, caressed by the crust, and cuddled by the perfectly melted cheese. His crap ruined my pizza.

At my wedding, my Mother-in-law to be had made a beautiful fruit salad (for me), with strawberries, grapes, pears, bananas, kiwi, mangos, and all the other delicious fruits available in SoCal at the time. The caterers dumped melon ball in, and ruinied it.

Because cantaloupe in fruit salad and pineapple on pizza misbehave the same way. They are not content in merely not belonging there. No. No, they have to go and ruin the while thing.


My favorite combination is pineapple and pepperoni. It has a bit more zing than the more popular pineapple and Canadian bacon "Hawaiian" pizza. After all, Hawaii is not a part of Canada!
This is true (because Canada is part of North Dakota, and everybody knows that Hawaii is not part if North Dakota). But it's still wrong.


As I look for ways to enrich and expand my faith, I may soon be trying pineapple in tacos.

If there's a hell, there's a special corner of it, just for you.:p

If there's a heaven, surely it's filled with carnitas.

pineapple carnitas, surely.

Pineapple, bacon, anchovies, mushroom - if you like this pizza, I want to marry you.

Pineapple also belongs on hamburgers (along with beetroot).

Eggs do not belong on pizza, nor does avocado - ever.

Just how many people do you want to marry? Has Austrialia recently revised it's polygamy laws?

[reprise]

AND Canadian citizenship...

::swoon::

[magimix]

mmMMmmm...pizza.... <drool>

My fave topping combo currently is:

Anchovies, Pineapple, olives, chillies, mushroom.

World class taste sensation :-)

[Yahweh]

"I dont no pineapples on pizza" says Sam I Am
"I dont like anchovies on my pizza" says Sam I Am
"Why surely you do not mean,
You like nothing but grease,
Please sir, I find that obscene,
I cannot live alone with meat and cheese."
"Would you eat pineapples and pizza with a goat" says Shirley Sal Connoloak
"No, I would not eat them with a goat."
"Would you eat them on a boat."
"No, I would not eat them on a boat."
"Would you eat them in a shoe."
"No! No, I would not eat them with a goat or on a boat.
I'd certainly not eat them in a shoe with you.
No anchovies, no canadian bacon, which can you believe is really ham?
No pineapples no Frogglekajahmacons" says Sam I am.
"I wish you would die, go to hell, and fry"
"I, Sam, says this: not with pineapple on my pie!"

[fishbait]

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Marco Polo supposedly brought the first pizza back from the Orient. My guess is that it was cold and the cheese was all stuck to the top of the box by the time he got back with it.

Pineapple on pizza is really quite a taste sensation, if done in moderation.

[Tormac]

I have it on good authority that the last supper was actually Hawaiian Pizza. Apparently there was a holy miracle making the ham kosher. God works in mysterious ways. Who are we mortals to question his divine mandate to put pineapple on pizza?

[phildonnia]

Why is it that you pineapple lovers always have to flaunt your perversions in public?

If you want to continue on your path to destruction, fine, stop trying to poison the minds of our young sausage-and-anchovy children with your filth. And stop trying to impose your radical culinary agenda on our brave men and women in uniform.

While it may be normal to feel certain urges for sweet things on pizza during adolescence, that does not make it right to subscribe to the "if it tastes good, eat it" philosophy, and it certainly does not qualify you for special legal protection.

I believe pizza is a bit beyond ol' Christopher's time. The original pizza was a special gift for visiting royalty with the three colors of the italian flag, tomato sauce for the red, basil for the green, and cheese for the white.

Pineapple on pizza is a thing of beauty.
I like my pizza with grape tomatoes, sauteed ground turkey, portabello mushrooms, garlic, my own home madepizza sauce, sauteed vidalia onions, medium hot peppers and sweet bell peppers, and when available, fresh pineapple. Yes, I like a lot of stuff on my pizza, except cheese. Oh, and you can't forget the basil and oregano. Mmmmmm.

[Ceinwyn]

Pineapple on pizza is like peanut butter on steak.

Well I had to dissent, ok?






Note: I do like pineapple...but not on pizza.
