I will never understand why pineapple on pizza is the one salty/sweet combo most people just can't abide.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (3 children)

To be fair, I don't like basically any salty sweet combo. You can keep your salted caramel and waffles with chicken!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh...well I am sorry for you, then. And I will.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

No need to feel sorry! I like both sweet and savory, just not at the same time 👍

Don't like them either.

I grew up in a household where I was taught when cooking salty sweet dishes, you should add just enough sugar to the dish so that it tastes different but you can't tell why. Otherwise you've added too much sugar.

You can definitely taste the sweet in Pineapple pizza...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

In some savory dishes like tomato sauce for example you add a little bit of sugar to reduce bitterness and just make the flavors more balanced. Also, most anything tastes better if you add just a little bit of salt in at some point of the cooking process.

Doesn't mean I'm going to sprinkle sea salt on top of my pecan pie though...

Yeah there are banana curry and kebab meat with bearnaise sauce, the two other Swedish pizza specials, why are nobody talking about them?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

What? We don't do kebab with bearnaise! It is its own yoghurt and mayo based sauce, aka kebabsås.

I know it's a joke, but just let people enjoy things, you know?

I love pineapple on pizza.

Eating crust first is a war crime.

Eating crust first is a war crime.

To me it's like eating your least favorite candy in a mixed bag first - you're left with the best part last. You have to leave just a bit of it so you can still grab it.

E: Also, if you eat all the crusts last they usually go dry and hard instead of nice and warm when you eat them first or as you go along. Depends on whether the dough is good really.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If you are just force feeding yourself the crust, maybe not eating the crust would be a better choice since it is just carbs at that point.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I agree, if you are. Never said anything about force feeding though.

A good dough is just good bread, but anyone who has ever eaten bread will know it'll dry and get hard if it sits out in the open for long enough. And even then, it can make for good breadsticks for sauce or soup or whatever if it's a good dough. Like I said, it all boils down to how good the dough/crust is. I don't really eat shitty pizza with shitty dough though so I don't really have the problem of "force feeding" the crusts. The dough, along with the tomato sauce is one of the most important parts of a good pizza IMO.

My SO puts ketchup on pizza

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (6 children)

People, ffs, live and let live

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Especially since the origin of pizza is “let’s just use up what is left in the fridge cuz we’re broke”. it’s the elitist gate keeping asshole who deserves all the shame in this scenario

A bite of history:

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (8 children)

I have never met a person (that wasn't chronically online) in real life that cares about Pineapple Pizza, it's a silly internet meme.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

What? That joke/meme is way older than the internet. You should meet more people.

Once you see what brazil does to pizza you'll never care about pineapple again.

I’ve run into too many of them, they are most definitely out there even if you haven’t personally run into them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I know a few in real life. And they can sod right off while I devour my Pizza "Crime Against Humanity". 🍍

It's funny because literally no one cares.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

This feels like /r/ComedyNecrophillia material.

Pineapple on Pizza - eh

Pasta on Pizza - an evil only adequately punished by perpetual constipation.
