And, to set the record straight, I do enjoy pizza hawaii
You wouldn’t be assuming that everyone on Lemmy is American, would you? Because I lost my shit over that too.
I’m Dutch myself so nope, not assuming so XD
Nevertheless, as a European, it is my continental duty to shit on Americans, which is (partially) why I made the meme :P

I mean this is simply another reason us American carry guns
I don’t think most Americans need a reason.
I don’t think Americans need a

Hold the fucking phone bud. You can shit on America all you want, but don’t. Think you can shit on Americans all you want.
It was Americans that saved you all in ww2. We are mostly good and decent people.
But, I have never in my life seen raisins anywhere near Mac & cheese. I’ve never seen olives near it either.
Did you not realise the irony of making this comment?
They either full well do… or full well don’t. Either way, that’s entertaining!
Jokes aside, it was Canada that liberated the Netherlands. And they took in the Dutch royal family as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada–Netherlands_relations?useskin=vector
It’s actually quite a beautiful story to read about, for those who are interested.
That’s why we named the quintessential canadian winter warming move after them, the dutch oven.
Why do uptight Americans always go straight for “we saved your arse in WWII” whenever they feel the slightest bit offended someone riffed their country a tiny bit.
Nationalism is a bitch.
Oh? The greatest credible threat to the world? Not saying that dropping two nukes on the country that invaded and raped or killed uncountable numbers of people is heroic, but without us and the lend lease, Europe was fucking done for.
Also, none of us say arse.
Thirdly, we fucking did save your ass in ww2. Also in ww1. I’m literally never the ugly American in public, I’ve had Turkish taxi drivers in German ask me why I want to go to the American army base because I’m so not that person.
But give credit where it’s due.
Shut up, Grandpa. You’re embarrassing me.
You’re embarrassing yourself.
May all your mac and cheese have raisins in it.
Yeah and the credit for WWII should be mostly given to the USSR.
ur funny
you saved nobodies ass and its EMBARRASSING youre taking ANY credit when you probably ask for help getting a milk jug out of the fridge.
you saved nobody. america now has saved nobody. soldiers arent heroes theyre people that want to survive stop glorifying the war and the us like we won a call of duty campaign. America wants its own people to die and they want to capitalize on it.
the military is for fuckn weirdos that like supporting oil tycoons and if youre forced to join then you have my utmost respect as that fucking sucks.
if ur gonna talk shit at least have something to back it up how many one arm pullups can you do, how longs ur planche, front lever etc? oh you cant do any of these things because youre a couch politician, soldier, and patriot i forgot. focus on something useful in your life. america doesn’t wanna suck your dick
I was in my second week of basic training when 9/11 happened, so don’t give me shit about supporting oil companies.
I did my time. 15 months in baghdad in 03 and 04. Got hit with 13 IEDs, shot at nearly every day. You just don’t have a clue what you are talking about.
Getting shot at comes with the job you willingly signed up for.
Well, .world is definitely a US domain.

Food is Anarchy dude, Live by Your Own Rules!
That’s hydrochloric acid, though. Big no-no for ingestion according to my uncle who’s a doctor and my step brother who teaches chemistry.
Let me guess, you’re with the DEA?
Hell no! Drugs won the war on drugs
cook meth with your step brother wen
Nah, he doesn’t have cancer and we have single payer healthcare here 🤷
drugs have not won the war on drugs until everything is decriminalized B)
Drugs are here to stay and thus have won the war. That they’re not legalised and closely regulated means common sense hasn’t won yet.
until people can get help without fear of incarceration and healthcare sponsored therapy drugs have not won. people still suffer
also when the illegal drugs just funnel minorities into prison for slave labor the drugs haven’t won
You’re thinking of Dihydrogen Monoxide, 100% of people who ingest it die.
And it’s in literally every commercially available beverage! Wake up, sheeple!
It’s only a matter of time :(
whatever liberal ill drink whatever i want
You go right ahead, no reason to defame me like that 😄
…What? In what place was HCl- ever mentioned?
Your reply is nonsensical.
I was referring to the liquid that the girl in the picture is pouring…
There are plenty of americans who feel that pineapple on pizza is a crime.
pineapple on pizza is amazing
Did Hawaii dirty
I mean traditionally ham and pineapple is their thing so I don’t think anyone is getting done dirty so long as non-fans aren’t forced to eat it 🤷
Hawaiian pizza was invented in Canada by a Greek guy
I know 😁
On a pizza ?
Yes. It’s actually delicious if done right.
I wholeheartedly disagree with you, but that’s okay.
More pineapple for you, more pepperoni for me
Don’t have to worry about who gets the last slice.
deleted by creator
As always…
Probably because it’s a Canadian invention.
Hawaii is the exception as the only place in the world where eating pizza with pineapple is legal.
I will go on record as saying I don’t give a shit if there’s pineapple on my pizza. I wouldn’t order it that way, but I’ll enjoy a pineapple, jalapeño, ham pizza if a slice is put in front of me.
Raisins in Mac and cheese… I can imagine it’s probably tasty enough, but the rubbery consistency of raisins in tandem with sticky pasta is what I find revolting
I love raisins and even I think this would taste like shit.
I do love me some Hawaiian tho and raisins are bomb in a biryani… Fight me 🤣
Bacon is a tastier option than the ham… It’s actually my favorite combo of pizza toppings in fact.
Today I learned that this thread is real and not a meme. I honestly thought people were joking about raisins in Mac n cheese.
Raisins? Pff. Never heard of that. Frozen green peas though? That’s where it’s at for the boxed Mac and cheese.
I hate raisins either way but I love love love sauteed onions with my mac n cheese.
Huh. I never thought to try that I bet it’s tasty
Onions makes sense though as cheese, onions and pasta are a normal combination but raisins?
Apples and cheddar? Pear and brie? Peaches and balsamic?
Sweet + tangy + savory is an incredibly popular combination, so Mac and cheese + raisins isn’t all that unusual.
Also it’s subjective. You don’t have to like it, but it shouldn’t be surprising that other people do.
Sweet and tangy with the presence of acids and moisture from the fruit are a good combo but guess what raisins don’t have?
You ever have a charcuterie board? Dried fruit and cheese are staples there, and neither are particularly moist.
I’ll say it again, it’s ok to not like a particular thing, but you shouldn’t be surprised when someone else does. Everyone’s tastes are different.
Fair, didn’t think of charcuterie.
I don’t get it.
Is raisins in Mac n cheese like, a big thing in other countries and us Americans just don’t get it? If so I guess more power to you, that is news to me. I’d try anything once but I don’t really like raisins to begin with so it’s a bit of a tough sell.
And yes, pineapple on pizza is delicious. I’ve seen some truly abhorrent pizza toppings from elsewhere in the world, so I don’t think we have some kind of monopoly on those crimes.
Macncheese isn’t a big thing in other countries. Now cheesy potatoes with raisins!
What?
Mac and Cheese is a Canadian thing
I wouldn’t want to consider the Kraft boxes to be Mac and Cheese but it’s the only thing with statistics
Canadians out-eat Americans when it comes to these blue-and-yellow boxes by 55%. That means Canadians buy 1.7 million boxes of the 7 million boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese that are sold each week
Read More: https://www.mashed.com/614458/this-country-eats-way-more-kraft-mac-cheese-than-the-us/
It’s also why Kraft/Mondalez makes the weird flavors for you guys like Pumpkin Spice or Cotton Candy.
I get the joke now, thanks.

Deep fried butter. I think we went too far
And it should’ve stayed in Canada
deleted by creator
Add bacon!
You do WHAT with Mac n cheese? Nah, forget pine apple pizza, your my new enemy.
I’m going to take one for the team and make this.
I also love pineapple on pizza.
The problem with Pineapple on pizza is that everyone thinks ham goes with it. That’s ok, but pepperoni and pineapple is so much better, and nobody ever gets to try it because of “Hawaiian” pizza.
deleted by creator
And they should be dry well before touching pizza to avoid sogginess.
This, also bacon and pineapple 🤤
Or go full Hawaiian with crispy spam and pineapple…
Ham is bottom tier tbh
Finally someone’s brave enough to say the truth about ham.
The only reason I enjoy eating ham on meat lovers or Hawaiian pizza is because it’s pizza and it doesn’t disassemble well.
Bacon, pineapple, and jalapeño is what the fuck’s up.
I just like pineapple on cheese.
My wife loves a good 3 P pizza as she calls it…Pineapple, Pepperoni, and Peppers (green). She orders one at least once a month.
I put pepperoni, ham, bacon and pineapple on my pizza. So tasty.
I always like people gatekeeping pizzas that use toppings other than the traditional Italian ones.
… ignoring the fact that tomato sauce is from the Americas.
I put leftover beans and corn on a pizza from Taco night and one of my friends flipped. I thought it was pretty good. Pizza is just bread sauce and a topping.
Your friend was right
My friend only eats cheese pizza.
Ouch. Sucks to be wrong against someone with such poor taste
Make a pineapple, mac and cheese, and raisin pizza.
Help
No
Don’t leave us hanging. Have you died or not?
Not dead yet, didn’t make it. I don’t have cheese right now.
Canadians breathing a sigh of relief when everyone blames America for pineapple on pizza instead of them.
I wondered if it might be because of you lot. Pineapple is typically paired with canadian bacon (ham) on pizza.
I didn’t like pineapple on pizza until a coworker did pineapple and jalapeno.
The sweet/spicy combination was pretty great.
We can only protect ourselves on the merits of ginger beef and the ceasar for so long…
Don’t worry. I blame you for mayonnaise on hamburgers still.
Mayo, mustard, and onion were the original hamburger toppings, Canada didn’t invent that.
How does one not eat burgers with mayo? It’s the best part
While I can go both ways for the mayo on the burger debate, not often you hear that it’s the best part.
A&W is where I go for the mayo on burger goodness. Even the mozza sauce is just thousand island with more mayo essentially.
raisins wtf
I just want to confirm, that raisins do not belong anywhere! I rather have pineapples in my cheesecake.
Why does everyone seam to hate raisins (and olives)
They are fucking delicious
I love oatmeal raisin cookies and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
Raisins are delicious and most cookies would be improved with oatmeal.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are one of my favorites! I don’t bake them often because I eat way too many cookies when I do.
People get angry with me for saying that oatmeal raisin is better than chocolate chip.
I love oatmeal raisin cookies, hold or majorly reduce the raisins. Cookie part tastes great because oatmeal is awesome.
Have you ever tried aging the dough in the fridge for a few days? It makes the oatmeal softer while the outside gets crisp.
Nah, don’t mix them up, olives are great, especially well sourced ones. Raisins are just an unpleasant surprise, every time.
*pleasant
I think y’all just ate some shitty raisins once and now hate them forever
What even is a good raisin? A grape?
Grapes are so much better than raisins, holy shit. And so god damn good with cheese.
Wait does it bother you to find raisins in food?
Literally two ingredients common in saltenas.
Satanists.
Because food preferences are now memes.
I like food. I like memes. I don’t hate this.
Well for me it’s because grapes are my favorite fruit so it’s like everything I love about a grape is sucked out of it.
I love both
Olives are great. Raisins taste how old people smell.
Oh, I like olives.
People hate raisins because they’re not chocolate. I enjoy G.O.R.P. on occasion, but I don’t eat trail mix for the raisins. I leave most of them behind. They can be a bit much. Ratio of anything to raisin needs to be right. One raisin to five to ten of anything else, otherwise they’re just overwhelming.
Olives, on the other hand, are fucking delicious. Hell yeah. Bathe me in their brine-rich kisses.
That does actually sound rather good
Hear me out. Christmas rice with raisins. They absorb moisture from the dish and become these sweet little treats in the midst of a very buttery and savory rice. I hate raisins but I fucking love that rice.
What the hell is Christmas rice?
Inquiring minds wants to know
Posted an explanation in this comment chain!
Maybe it’s a cultural or family thing? So it’s just pre-cooked rice, you cook it as you would any rice I guess, but you add chicken stock, raisins, and butter (at the end, after you’re done cooking it). Variations often also include peas and corn, maybe diced carrots, but we stick to just raisins. The savory mix of the buttery rice with tiny packets of moist raisins sprinkled about the rice makes it delicious!
I dunno what Christmas rice is, but raisins are so much better in savory applications than sweet.
Interesting. That reminds that there is indeed another dish that is ok with raisins: Christmas loaf (Stollen).
Needs dried cherries too.
Pineapple upside down cheesecake… ?
Somebody invent that!
Oh my god… Let me have some
But it needs to be an American cheese cake with pinapple, not that stuff we have here in Europe.
I’m tempted… sounds delicious and I wonder why I’ve never seen pineapple and cheesecake combined. I wonder if the acidity is hard on the cheesecake.
Who hurt you?
Straight to hell all the way to the bottom of hell with you with nothing to eat until the end of time except mac n raisins.
When you fucking what now?
There’s a big difference.
One you’re putting berries on cheese with carbs
The other you’re putting berries in cheese with carbs
See the issue?
Yes. So Sprinkling raisins on top of the mac&cheese is fine
YES.
