I've had pickle pizzas, and honestly they're great. They work for a similar reason pineapple does. The sour and sweet compliments the salty fatty flavors. Done correctly, these can be great. Anyone who thinks, for example, pineapple doesn't belong on pizza doesn't really understand flavor balance. It just needs to be on the right pizza with the right proportions. You're not wrong for not liking it, but you are wrong for saying it doesn't work without trying it.

Pancakes are mostly wheat flour and egg.

Pasta is mostly wheat flour and egg.

Pancakes and strawberries? 😋

Pasta and strawberries? 🫨

Chaos kitchen is what's up. Good things together however you want.

Apricot jam, chilli powder and apple cider vinegar make a great salad dressing.

Coleslaw, Mandarin and fried onion are a great salad.

Try new things and do what makes you happy.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're leaving out a pretty important ingredient difference between pancakes and pasta.

You don't know how I make my pasta.

A buddy of mine is currently living in Poland with his girlfriend. Some of their food is legitimately terrifying. We make fun of him all the time and tell him he's at least going to lose weight living over there

[–] Slotos@feddit.nl 16 points 1 month ago

He’ll rather gain strange kinks. Losing weight with Polish cuisine is impossible.

What is that? Chicken noodle soup with gelatin crafted in to a jello dog/thing?

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

this is uhm... Christmas and Easter Polish "delicacy" and yeah, it's various stuff in jello because why not. this one is definitely Easter themed as it looks like it's supposed to be a lamb

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is some peak 1950s American stuff right here!

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

yeahhh my family has been trying to feed me salads suspended in jello every holiday season and it seems like im the only person who questions this tradition

You can’t lose weight anywhere in Eastern Europe. Poland isn’t an exception! And if you leave the place, you’ll miss it, and crave for more

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Honestly I think every European culture or associated cultures made weird aspics once commercial gelatin sheets became available.

Eat your pizza or pasta like you want to. Nobody sane cares. Just don't name your dish wrong. A la carbonara is not made with cream, a ragou a la bolognese is not just mince and tomato sauce and a real pizza is not that ugly frozen disk.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 7 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Carbonara is made with cubes of ham and green peas and without the Americas your real pizza is a sad tomatoless hunk of shit.

I buy dried pasta in different shapes and mix them in the same container.

That's what you get for siding with Hitler!

Reminds me of German spaghetti ice cream. Vanilla ice pressed into spaghetti strands on top of whipped cream. Pureed strawberries as the "sauce" with grated white chocolate acting as "cheese".

Ive recently been to Italy. Every pizzeria had a Pizza wurstl on their menu. It was pizza with sliced up sausage and French fries. I think pineapple and ham is much better in comparison.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pizza wurstl...pizza with sliced up sausage

That makes sense

and French fries

What the fuck

[–] TheWonderfool@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

As an Italian kid I used to love it. As an adult not so much...

I believe the lowest point in my life was reached by getting a full kebab pizza (meat, lettuce, onions, tomato, mayonnaise, spicy sauce, etc...), and then dumping a whole portion of french fries on top.

Now I miss the days when I could eat something like that and still fill mostly human afterwards.

That's not even remotely the worst way we've bastardized italian pizza.

Also, we could dive deeper and talk about italian food before tomatoes were introduced, but I don't think Americans are ready for that yet.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (6 children)

If you're not sure about this, start small. Try a spinach salad tossed with nuts like walnuts or pecans and sliced strawberries and a sweet balsamic with a little grated romano. Seriously, give it a go, it's healthy and tastes amazing.

Remember, tomato is a fruit, it's just not sweet. But we then add heaps of sugar to tomato sauce to make it sweet. Fruit like strawberry is already sweetened, it makes perfect sense on paper.

What's throwing everyone is that our first experiences with sweet fruit flavors is always candy or pastries and we have a hard time shaking that association as strictly appropriate.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Remember, tomato is a fruit, it's just not sweet.

Shitty supermarket tomatoes aren't sweet. Homegrown tomatoes can be very sweet and very delicious.

Someone tell me more about pasta with strawberries please. I say this as a pineapple on pizza aficionado.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it's really nice! you get some short pasta, usually the tube or the swirly type, then add either plain yoghurt or cottage cheese, then sliced strawberries, of course, and sugar to taste :)

can be served either hot or cold!

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Aha, so it's treating the pasta as one would a fruit filled pierogi or crepe. Just a wheaty medium for delivery of fruity goodness.

AFAIK, there are many countries that have pizza with ingredients considered unusual outside that country. For example, in Brazil they have chocolate pizza.

[–] TheWonderfool@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pizza with Nutella/pistacchio cream is actually a relatively common dessert in pizza places in Italy...

Meanwhile in Hungary:

  • Krumplis tészta - pasta w/ crushed tatos, fried onions, bacon or kolbász and paprika
  • Káposztás tészta - cabbage pasta with sugar and black pepper sautéed in lard
  • Grízes tészta - pasta with semolina wheat (think cream of wheat), powdered sugar and peach or apricot jam
  • Túrós csusza - pasta w/ dry cottage cheese, bacon and fried onion, served with sour cream
  • Mákos tészta - poppy seed pasta, mixed with butter and sprinkled with powdered sugar

Just the tip of the ice berg.

There's this café in Nagoya, Japan, that serves sweet spaghetti: the spaghetti are flavoured with strawberry or chocolate and then you have fruits and sauces on top. It's delicious.

Edit because I just went through old photos and found one of the sweet spaghetti:
