That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

It's kinda crazy that it took the combined culinary efforts of at least 4 nations to create something genius that would piss off all of those nations.
Also, pineapple on pizza is fucking delicious, and I will fight over that personal opinion being as valid as it sucking :)
Pepperoni, bacon, pineapple, and jalapeño. The ultimate combination of sweet, spicy, salty, and savory.
You have been awarded the key to the city of Halifax.
Drizzle a little mango sauce on top, and I'm sold.
Mango makes way more sense than pineapple for adding sweetness
Replace the bacon with ham slices and you've got my favourite pizza
This minus the pepperoni is my favorite pizza
Word, though I have to go very light on the peppers nowadays lol
In the states they never add Jalapenos because of all the WASPS who say things like "this food has too much flavor" so I thought I hated Hawaiian pizza, def will try with Jalapeno.
I have lived in several states and I feel like jalapenos are a very common pizza topping in all of them. I have mostly lived in areas with large Hispanic populations though.
You can get jalapeños in Maine it doesn’t get more WASPy than there.
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.
In Italy, prosciutto with melon is pretty common. Sweet and savory as a combination is pretty common. See also: sharp cheddar on apple pie.
Yup, people who object to Hawaiian Pizza for any reason other than "it's not for me" don't really understand food.
Sharp cheddar cuts up my mouth something fierce.
Similar to a fruit bowl with cottage cheese.
Yup, and it's yummy as hell.
Here in the south, and maybe elsewhere, we sometimes add a nice hunk of extra sharp cheddar on top of our apple pie for the same reason. Heck, any number of fruit plates will be served with cheeses, and vice versa.
Once you get into the sweet, salt, fat, acid combo, it really doesn't matter what you use to get them.
To quote a great American show, "pork chops and applesauce". "Hawaiian" pizza is just a different version of the same basic idea
That's common in California, too. Watermelon, feta and a little bit of lime juice is a frequent summer salad.
Pizza is a very fatty, often greasy food, and acidic taste balances out greasiness in the mouth
Good thing tomatoes are acidic then
Not American tomatoes, at least, not in tomato sauce form; they put a tight sugary lid on that.
Pineapple, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, red onion, and balsamic drizzle. My recent stroke of genius from the local unlimited topping pizza place.
Try red bell pepper with balsamic. I love the combination.
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.
Agreed. It's amazing. I always spring for pineapple on pizza
Ahhh they're fucking up. Gotta dice the pines and spread em out a bit more at least, but also ham is the worst meat choice for pine, go chicken or (best) pep, and I highly suggest some jalaps.
For those who don't know here is the image for context. I deleted my previous comment for other reason.
The Hawaiian pizza becomes the ham-steak pizza.
