      I dislike pineapple on pizza because most places always do such an awful job. You either get pineapple chunks that are still partially frozen and waterlogs the pie, or you get desiccated husks of fiber. Any salty/sweet combo advantage is totally lost.

      Especially since the origin of pizza is just throw the cheapest left overs on some bread when your broke. taste played a very minor role with the reason it came into existence. So why privileged assholes have to gatekeep a peasant’s solution against starvation over preferential taste is just cringeworthy classism at best.

        Bruh, I think you’re thinking too deep into this. Some people don’t like the flavor profile of pineapple. It likely started as a teasing joke to their friends when they were young and didn’t know comedy:

        “Eeeewwww pineapple on pizza?! Gross! 😂”

        And then the joke just kinda blew up from there because enough people agreed on it.

        Then you become an adult and realize people just genuinely like different things. I hate pineapple in general, so I don’t get it on my pizza. My husband loves Hawaiian pizza.

        I love anchovies, and he can’t stand them. He says the “juice” affects the rest of the pizza even when I only get it on my half.

        We order 2 different pizzas and everyone is happy.

        I don’t think either of us (or anyone who still pretends to be shocked that pineapple on pizza is a thing) is “gatekeeping pizza” or shaming poor people from tryna eat whatever they have. It is legit on the same level as. “OMG you use APPLE?!?!? I COULD NEVER!”.

        It’s just harmless teasing.

        Meanwhile you miss out on the glory that is Poutine, most Maple desserts, Tortiere, Butter Tarts, Back Bacon (AKA Canadian Bacon), California Rolls (yes I know, but they are Canadian actually), Nanaimo Bars, Caesars,PEANUT BUTTER (No, it wasn’t George Washington Carver, he made a type of peanut butter after it was already invented), Chinese Buffets, and Coffee Crisps.

      The buzz around it grew when I was seeing a lot of pizza party’s which always ended up with 3 flavours being brought. Margherita, Pepperoni and Hawaiian. So I’ve always associated the movement being some secret groups’ lifeprotip to order Hawaiian do they can eat a bunch of pizza and it’s divisive. If your ordering for yourself go nuts. If your ordering for a group, there are plenty of more on-averagr enjoyable options

      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

          Not all food that gets cooked on a pizza needs a fridge. But either way you’re skipping the point. it’s literally leftovers combined, with or without a fridge. Probably even more so without a fridge if food goes bad faster.

          The point is it’s a peasant food made of literally anything because scarcity.

          So in all fairness to to the benefit it provides there should be no rule that there has to be a pineapple or not.

        Ok, what is the joke? I think the creator thinks that it’s funny to have an extreme reaction (murder) to a minor infraction (liking the wrong kind of food).

        If you (like the creator) believe that the idea of “liking the wrong foods” will resonate with an audience as a social infraction. Well, ffs let people live their lives.

        The premise for the joke is obnoxious.

        Oh no, some Italians are upset about random people enjoying things, sounds like they need to get over themselves.

        Based on what I’ve heard on the Internet, Italians will straight murder you for eating anything other that a meal directly cooked by their grandmother because it’s ineffably wrong, and not endowed by the spirit of Italy.

        If course, actual Italians I’ve known are normal people who typically don’t care what you eat.

        If they did they’d be a classist bigot not worth fighting. pizza is peasant food invented not for taste but to not starve. If you’re going to so low to gatekeep fight someone for that, that is definitely on the wrong side of history.

        What a rude thing to say, so nobody is allowed to hold an opinion that you disagree with? Or share their experience if it doesn’t agree with yours? Do you not see how hypocritical your statement is, or how needlessly hostile it was presented?

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

    I think for me the tartness of pineapple combined with the acidity of tomatoes, is too reminiscent of the flavor profile of bile. It tastes like I threw up a little in my mouth, which is not something I desire to pay for, chew, savor, or swallow.

    Pineapple is fine, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. It’s the tomato juice that makes this sound truly vile. Also who cares which side of the pizza you bite into?
