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

[-] Player2@sopuli.xyz 20 points 1 year ago

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

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Player2@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

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

[-] stardreamer 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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...

[-] Player2@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year 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...

[-] TomatoSlayer@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] penguin@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

Have you considered trying it from a good pizza place?

[-] TomatoSlayer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

The hunt is constant. See my other response.

[-] CarlsIII@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

Uh if the pineapple is still partially frozen, that entire pizza is undercooked

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 7 points 1 year ago

I've literally never had that problem.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

I love pineapple on pizza.

Eating crust first is a war crime.

[-] brewbellyblueberry@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] brewbellyblueberry@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

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.

People, ffs, live and let live

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

Back or front, I've heard of... But eating a pizza from the side!? Lol

Btw pineapple pizza is the best. Tomato juice also rocks. Fight me. Haha

[-] Gabu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Tell that to any Italian and you'll get in a fight, alright.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago

Food purists aren't worth engaging in anyways.

[-] Taco2112@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 16 points 1 year ago

If anyone tells me what food I am allowed to like, they can suck my dick.

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] OutOfMemory@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Roma pizza is square, what if you get a slice with no crust?

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.

[-] theKalash@feddit.ch 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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.

[-] RoverRacecar@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

This feels like /r/ComedyNecrophillia material.

[-] brewbellyblueberry@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I mean the correct order is the tip with a bite of the crust from one side, then continue to go along that side biting a piece of the crust along with the base pizza. Unless you have something like curry on the side, then you can just not eat the crust at all and use it as breadsticks for the curry.

I'm confused by this comic, because she's literally eating it crust first, which is not the side. And crust first is a 100% qualified way to eat pizza.

Also pineapple is one of the best toppings

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I usually go with garlic butter or ranch for the crust breadstick, but curry sounds pretty good.

Pineapple on Pizza - eh

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

This is how it feels when someone doesn’t like how you live your life.

[-] NoiseInTheVoid_444@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] TheDarksteel94@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

If that's how your puke tastes, you should bottle and sell it.
