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

[–] Player2@sopuli.xyz 19 points 1 year 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!

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 👍

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...

[–] 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...

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

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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?

My SO puts ketchup on pizza

[–] kboy101222@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

... There's fucking tomato sauce not even a 16th of an inch below the ketchup. WTF is wrong with them?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For my metric bros, ¹/16" is equivalent to 1 ⁴⁷/80 mm

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1 and 47 80ths 1 ⁴⁷/80 not 1⁴⁷. Maybe formatting is inconsistent across Lemmy viewing methods though.

People, ffs, live and let live

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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

It's funny because literally no one cares.

[–] wombatula@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year 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.

[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

This feels like /r/ComedyNecrophillia material.

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.
