Lets not forget pizzas with bananas
I really can't stand traditionalists. You don't want pineapple on pizza? Don't have it. And don't worry about what other people like to eat.
I was born in Central America and growing up eating pupusas (which are amazing) we used to have bean, cheese and pork. Any time I would ask "why can't pupusas have chicken or fish?" The answer would be "cause that's not traditional". Now the new generation makes them with fish, shrimp, chicken, veggies, etc. And it's so yummy. Keep your traditions and classic recipes, but don't try to stifle my culinary creativity cause of your stupid hangups
Dude, pupusas are soooooo good.
I’m Canadian and didn’t get to try them until I was in my 20s thanks to my friend.
How have I never thought of a cornmeal meat pie?
My wife is going to hate me because I'm about to blow up our kitchen again.
Italians need to realize that they don't own the concept of putting toppings on a round piece of bread. And tomatoes aren't even native to Italy so that throws a wrench into their ability to complain.
Also tomatoes are fruits so suck it Italy
I'll give them that one because they taste like they should be vegetables but science says otherwise.
Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.
I don't particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.
Durian would've been a fruitable :p
That's interesting.
It's like how peanuts are legumes and not nuts. But I feel like that makes sense because of the pods.
Yeah and they grow in the ground too.
A distinction that I find more entertaining than the fruit/veggie one is the berry category.
- blueberry: not a berry
- blackberry: nuh-uh
- Strawberry: you're an accessory fruit
- banana: yup, totally a berry
- watermelon: go for it
That's nuts
put literally anything on a pizza and watch me continue to live my life unencumbered. Italians are too wrapped up in a national identity of tut-tutting other countries that change their precious recipes.
Pineapple on Pizza isn't bad and you're being whiners

My polish grandmother used to make us pasta with applesauce. Surprisingly tasty.
I'm terms of pizza, here in Sweden we have the kebab pizza and the banana-curry pizza. The latter one was slightly disappointing in how ok it was.
Döner Pizza is one of Germany's most popular Pizzas. Next to Spaghetti Bolognese Pizza.
I find kebab pizza to taste more like kebab than pizza, but in a bad way, like it overpowers the rest of the pizza.
I love strawberries, that sounds awful, and next strawberry season I would love to try it. Could I have a recipe?
There are tons of recipes for fruit pierogi if you google em, they usually include the recipe for the pasta as well. They're little dumplings, basically ravioli. My fiance is polish and I make them for him on occasion with twarog and blueberries, (a simple milk cheese that's really easy to make -you can skip the cheese and serve them with cream which is great too) boil them, then fry them in butter and sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
I don't necessarily think <anything>+pasta would be bad tasting; but the textures... 😖
You're spot on. I still remember it from the time I was forced to eat it as a kid. Terrible.
Ooh, that actually doesn't sound bad... Slightly tart sweet with the salty tang of the sauce, maybe with a kick of spice from jalapenos... I'll have to give that a try sometime
ETA: I missed that it said "pasta" rather than "pizza", but my comment stands
Man, people miss out on so much good eating because of preconceptions and gatekeeping.
Berries go with almost anything. And yeah, technically strawberries aren't berries. But the point is that pretty much every berry is a blend of acidic tartness, sweetness, and complex flavors. There's no world in which berries make something bad.
Any fruit has the potential to go with any standard food. Meats, pastas, breads, even veggies. It's a matter of balancing the specific fruit with the other ingredients.
That's why pineapple on pizza works. Tangy, sweet, and with that hard to describe tropical fruitiness. It brings out the sweetness of a good tomato sauce while cutting through the fattiness of toppings and any oils.
Pork chops and applesauce baby, it's a classic for reason. Pork stuffed with apples; and other things, orange chicken or duck, blackberry glazed venison roast (seriously, you want to try it), apricot beef (or lamb), curried goat with prunes (or apricot, or peaches even), roasted brussels sprouts with apples and cranberries.
It's all about the balancing with other things.
The Polish strawberry pasta? It's balanced out with sour cream that mutes the sweetness some, and works as a bridge with the pasta.
I know I'm talking into a void here, what with this being a meme, but I'm always so amazed that people will dismiss a food combination without trying it, or sometimes without even trying to imagine the possibilities.

Hawaiian pizza was invented by a Greek man running an Italian pizzeria in Toronto inspired by the sweet and sour flavors of Chinese cuisine
Alright guys. How do you all feel about a dessert lasagna?
Since I generally prefer another serving of the main course over dessert, sure, I can just eat more lasagna for dessert.
I would like to know more!
Fruit goes on cooked flour.
It's been like that for centuries.
Cake. Danish. Fruitcake. Pizza. Filled doughnuts. Kolacky. Raisin bread. Banana bread...
Ya know when ya put Danish I thought you were calling the Danes gay and just kinda accepted it.
Those danish fruitcakes are delicious, even if a little salty afterwards
Japan putting ketchup on spaghetti: "Hold my sake."
Meanwhile, Korea is doing crimes by adding corn and/or potatoes on their pizza.
Japan doesn't do potatoes but corn on pizza is popular. I'm willing to tolerate a lot of different toppings but for some reason corn just seems wrong to me
My local pizza place (in Japan) puts corn on pineapple pizza.
I might be a degenerate that enjoys pineapple on pizza, but corn is a strong no

Ever had spaghetti ice cream with strawberry sauce and grazed white chocolate as "parmesan"
