Is it controversial? Pineapple is a common ingredient in salsa here.
Same here. Some like it since it gives nice sweetness. I don’t care for it.
On pizza it works with some toppings. Chicken hawaii is great for example
I was just thinking that. Mango, too. Nice for a change once in a while.
I like mango salsa with fish tacos since it isn’t always so sweet. Pineapple hits different though, but I’m willing to give it a go.
People who get pissy off of pineapple on pizza are so corny. It’s like level 1 controversy types of foods. We got countries putting spaghetti and squid on pizza.
I’m convinced it was never the pineapple which set off their distaste, but rather the shitty ham that comes on hawaiian pizza from some chains.
The pineapple being hot alters the taste a bit. I like Hawaiian pizza, but if I make it at home I put room temp pineapple on it after baking instead of baking it with the pizza because I want the tanginess more than the sweetness.
The shitty ham certainly did not help. Picking off the pineapple left sad in it’s place.
I have a bigger problem with putting tomato slices on pizzas. They are mostly water so they not only shrivel down to sad little strips but they leave the pizza soggy.
you don’t cook the pizza with slices on it. the go on after, or you used pre-cooked/dried tomatoes
cold sliced roma and fresh basil is pretty great on a pizza.
I think this is the crux of my issue. I’m not a big fan of pineapple in general but if it’s paired and made well it can taste good. I’m not always in the mood for it but I’ve mostly learned to order pizza that is difficult to screw up. Similarly, the only times I’ve ordered a pizza with tomato slices they put the tomato and herbs on it before blasting the fuck out of it in the pizza oven so I just don’t order that anymore. You are correct however, I’ve made my own at home and it’s drastically different/better. I just usually don’t want pizza enough to make one. If I’m making pizza it’s for a group.
As far as I can tell, people mostly complain on the internet. IRL it’s always on the menu and nobody comments about it.
One time I ordered a pineapple pizza at a cafe/game store with a room where we were staying the night. The person taking my order gave me shit for it when I ordered, after the group ordered, and when they brought out the food.
Not playful banter or little jokes, just legitimately talking about how gross my order was. Chicken & pineapple pizza for reference, I think it was even a named special on the menu.
All that to say, they exist and they are just as infuriating IRL.
Pizzas are like burgers, tacos, and salads to me. I’ve had enough “fusion” food to know they’re just vehicles to deliver the toppings you enjoy. The skys the limit IMO, go nuts there’s no rules, do it however you like.
The most “normal” thing on pizza I don’t like is corn. I like corn in general but I don’t want it on my pizza (although not enough to not eat the slice if someone hands it to me).
But then again Japan puts a lot of odd things on pizza, like canned tuna and dollops of potato salad.
What kind of monster puts broccoli on their nachos?
This is some white level 100 shit.
Shit I’m 100% white but at least I have the good sense to have lucked into the original gene variants that recognize bitter vegetables as poison.
Yeah, but, they aren’t. They’re good for you. Is that actually lucky?
Well obviously yeah - because of the cheese. Brown people are lactose intolerant.
Someone trying to eat their nutrients? The pineapple should overpower the taste
With broccoli!
That’s the real crime here.
I also like broccoli on pizza a lot.
Me too! When we both inevitably go to hell for our culinary sins, we should hang out!
Yeah that’s cool with me
When we both inevitably go to
hell’s kitchen?
for our culinary sins
Get out
I’ve never thought to try that. I’m definitely gonna have to.
Do you roast it beforehand so it’s not just soggy steamed bits?
It just comes out roasted, browned, and slightly crispy with the pizza. Nothing special for it. I cut the pieces pretty small/thin though. If you want big pieces then I think pre-roasting would be smart
What other toppings do you do with broccoli?
Anything, everything. Basically supreme? Onion, mushroom, olive, pepperoni, ham, cherry tomato, whatever. Wouldn’t really do pineapple with broccoli but pineapple has it’s time and place.
Beef, onions, and brown sauce
Is brown sauce like bbq or “chinese” (USA chinese restaurant) brown sauce? Because one of these options sounds completely batshit insane to me but also I’m the one putting broccoli on my pizza so… maybe??? Would try
The latter. I built and worked at a fusion Chinese pizzeria.
😲
Yeah I’d try it
Yeah, pineapple? Totally fine. Broccoli? Straight to jail!
Ok I’m ready
…tha fuck, is that broccoli?
It is.
I love this! I will try it
I fuck with pineapple. It’s like bbq sauce in fruit form.
I fuck with pineapple. It’s like bbq sauce in fruit form.
Maybe it’s because I don’t use BBQ sauce during sex, but I don’t understand fucking with pineapple
Easy, you core it out, and fuck it!
Warm it up in the microwave a bit first
Not saying you’re missing out but you could be getting fruitier.
Pineapples contain bromelain, an enzyme that breaks down proteins, even in human flesh, earning them the nickname “the fruit that eats you back”.
I passed out while eating a pineapple drunk once to wake up in the morning with my face all burnt.
I would not suggest sticking your dick in it.
Al pastor has pineapple. I like that.
The last time I had street tacos without pineapple was… I think I was in the Midwest. They were not good. I think they used a flour tortilla and I think the lady serving me was Italian.
I don’t mind pineapple on pizza. And pineapple of nachos sounds awesome. With jalapenos, red onion and meat?
Yeah, gimme
Right? Sweet, hot, salty, savoury and fatty all in one bite.
I can confirm that chicken, jalapeno, and pineappole are great together. I’d try those nachos in a heartbeat.
what about pineapple steak
People that don’t like pineapple on their food are just not adventurous enough to get digested back.
Some people can only dish it, I guess
I am morbidly curious, what all is in this?
Sadness
🤣🤣🤣
Looks like half is just cilantro, cheese, and a tiny sprinkling of pepper flakes, while the other side had that plus pineapple, broccoli, and some sort of roasted potato?
I can get behind the pineapple, though I’d argue that it needs to be grilled. The rest of these nachos seems not very well thought out. Why are we doubling up on the carbs with the potato, everything is cut way too large for nachos, and the flavors don’t go together at all.
Nah, pineapple side has either chunks of chicken or potato as well.
10000% agreed with the grilled being required…and also the general quality of the nachos being sub-budget-cinema level
It’s not potatoes, it’s a vegan chicken substitute. It works pretty well, not the first time I made this and won’t be the last.
Right part toppings are vegan chicken, corn, bell pepper, broccoli, all fried/tossed with spices™, cheese, and said pineapple. Left part is just cheese. The green stuff on top is cilantro.
Despair
fusion. of a highly volatile variety.
nuclear fusion, if you will
Straight to jail.
I’d eat them.
You’re missing the olives.
Straight to hell.
ok tbf I’ve known Mexicans and Mexican Americans who put black olives on tacos
Pickles on tacos is where it’s at.
There was a coffee shop in my home town that did nachos with black olives. It was not as bad as you might expect.
Release the Epstein files
Throw some pork / chorizo on it and call it al pastor. I’ll eat it even with broccoli
I can see it working
Totally does. It’s one of my GF’s favorite comfort foods, so we do it every once in a while
