And, to set the record straight, I do enjoy pizza hawaii
Canadians breathing a sigh of relief when everyone blames America for pineapple on pizza instead of them.
Don’t worry. I blame you for mayonnaise on hamburgers still.
How does one not eat burgers with mayo? It’s the best part
While I can go both ways for the mayo on the burger debate, not often you hear that it’s the best part.
A&W is where I go for the mayo on burger goodness. Even the mozza sauce is just thousand island with more mayo essentially.
Mayo, mustard, and onion were the original hamburger toppings, Canada didn’t invent that.
I wondered if it might be because of you lot. Pineapple is typically paired with canadian bacon (ham) on pizza.
I didn’t like pineapple on pizza until a coworker did pineapple and jalapeno.
The sweet/spicy combination was pretty great.
We can only protect ourselves on the merits of ginger beef and the ceasar for so long…
I’m allergic to pineapple. I put habenero hot sauce on my mac. There’s zero chance I’m adding raisins.
Not american but why would you put raisins in mac n cheese?
I just want to confirm, that raisins do not belong anywhere! I rather have pineapples in my cheesecake.
That does actually sound rather good
Hear me out. Christmas rice with raisins. They absorb moisture from the dish and become these sweet little treats in the midst of a very buttery and savory rice. I hate raisins but I fucking love that rice.
Interesting. That reminds that there is indeed another dish that is ok with raisins: Christmas loaf (Stollen).
Needs dried cherries too.
What the hell is Christmas rice?
Inquiring minds wants to know
Posted an explanation in this comment chain!
Maybe it’s a cultural or family thing? So it’s just pre-cooked rice, you cook it as you would any rice I guess, but you add chicken stock, raisins, and butter (at the end, after you’re done cooking it). Variations often also include peas and corn, maybe diced carrots, but we stick to just raisins. The savory mix of the buttery rice with tiny packets of moist raisins sprinkled about the rice makes it delicious!
I dunno what Christmas rice is, but raisins are so much better in savory applications than sweet.
Why does everyone seam to hate raisins (and olives)
They are fucking delicious
Literally two ingredients common in saltenas.
Nah, don’t mix them up, olives are great, especially well sourced ones. Raisins are just an unpleasant surprise, every time.
*pleasant
I think y’all just ate some shitty raisins once and now hate them forever
What even is a good raisin? A grape?
Grapes are so much better than raisins, holy shit. And so god damn good with cheese.
Wait does it bother you to find raisins in food?
Satanists.
People hate raisins because they’re not chocolate. I enjoy G.O.R.P. on occasion, but I don’t eat trail mix for the raisins. I leave most of them behind. They can be a bit much. Ratio of anything to raisin needs to be right. One raisin to five to ten of anything else, otherwise they’re just overwhelming.
Olives, on the other hand, are fucking delicious. Hell yeah. Bathe me in their brine-rich kisses.
I love oatmeal raisin cookies and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
Raisins are delicious and most cookies would be improved with oatmeal.
People get angry with me for saying that oatmeal raisin is better than chocolate chip.
Oatmeal raisin cookies are one of my favorites! I don’t bake them often because I eat way too many cookies when I do.
Have you ever tried aging the dough in the fridge for a few days? It makes the oatmeal softer while the outside gets crisp.
I love oatmeal raisin cookies, hold or majorly reduce the raisins. Cookie part tastes great because oatmeal is awesome.
Well for me it’s because grapes are my favorite fruit so it’s like everything I love about a grape is sucked out of it.
I love both
Because food preferences are now memes.
I like food. I like memes. I don’t hate this.
Oh, I like olives.
Pineapple upside down cheesecake… ?
Somebody invent that!
Oh my god… Let me have some
But it needs to be an American cheese cake with pinapple, not that stuff we have here in Europe.
I’m tempted… sounds delicious and I wonder why I’ve never seen pineapple and cheesecake combined. I wonder if the acidity is hard on the cheesecake.
Who hurt you?
“Pizza Hawaii” . Where the fuck are you from?
Food is Anarchy dude, Live by Your Own Rules!
That’s hydrochloric acid, though. Big no-no for ingestion according to my uncle who’s a doctor and my step brother who teaches chemistry.
…What? In what place was HCl- ever mentioned?
Your reply is nonsensical.
I was referring to the liquid that the girl in the picture is pouring…
You’re thinking of Dihydrogen Monoxide, 100% of people who ingest it die.
And it’s in literally every commercially available beverage! Wake up, sheeple!
It’s only a matter of time :(
Let me guess, you’re with the DEA?
Hell no! Drugs won the war on drugs
drugs have not won the war on drugs until everything is decriminalized B)
Drugs are here to stay and thus have won the war. That they’re not legalised and closely regulated means common sense hasn’t won yet.
until people can get help without fear of incarceration and healthcare sponsored therapy drugs have not won. people still suffer
also when the illegal drugs just funnel minorities into prison for slave labor the drugs haven’t won
cook meth with your step brother wen
Nah, he doesn’t have cancer and we have single payer healthcare here 🤷
whatever liberal ill drink whatever i want
You go right ahead, no reason to defame me like that 😄
I have been up and down a few posts concerning this and have yet to find (maybe i missed a couple) anyone who has tried this and reported back.
I am beginning to think that this was just some housewives joke on the internet.
“You know what, this should really rattle some budgies if i just say i add a few raisins. oooo I am such a devil” and little did she know just how well it worked.
On a basis of raisins and cheese whiz being good, I think it might have a little bit of charm.
I’m convinced this is what happened with Water Cereal on Reddit a few years back
I’ve made water cereal, but it started as an accident, which I then had to live with because there was no more cereal left. I’ve also switched milk and orange juice, which I tried, but did not continue on with.
Yeah that would make sense, it’s such a grandma prank to put “flies” in the food teehee
Pineapple on pizza is such a forced debate, nobody normal sincerely cares that much, and anyone who does is either pretending or has a toddler-level approach to food. The “authentic Italian” gatekeeping is also incredibly stupid and ironic, given Italy’s history of appropriating other culture’s foods then claiming they are the arbiters of the most “authentic” version of said food.
My fav dolce pizzas to make are cinnamon date puree with pecans and brown sugar sprinkled over top, or a sliced pear/apple with brie and a Balsamic drizzle.
Any contrarian food opinions are forced debate, and just plain stupid. Arguing that “pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza” is the logical equivalent to arguing “no one’s favorite color should be red”.
Np ones favorite color should be Yellow
The hilarious pizza regulatory body in Italy says it’s not real pizza though!
This is maybe a hot take but some of the most authentically branded and certified pizza in Italy happened to also be some of the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten, and the best pizza I had in Italy was no better than a good quality pizza anywhere else. I mean they’re damn good pizzas, but turns out baking a circle of dough with tomato sauce and cheese on it is a pretty basic thing to do well. And yeah I know there’s complexity in all of this but it’s not materially complex. Use the proper flour and hydration, knead it well, let it cold ferment for a day, shape it properly. Oh you didn’t use the Roma tomatoes from Mt Vesuvius? Sorry not real pizza.
Also the demand for authentic Italian pizzas from foodies in North America has created some of the worst pizza abominations, because the skill required to shape a ball of dough by hand isn’t widely present in the service industry workforce. Like yeah when the right person is in it’s great, but even at these upper range places tough gummy dough inconsistently shaped is common. “Never frozen though so it’s real!” Nobody can taste the difference between frozen dough that’s been thawed, let to rise, and baked, if anything the longer ferment time makes it taste better.
If you can’t tell I detest the ironic authenticity trend in these heavily market-researched upper range investment restaurants right now. That’s not even to say the notion of authentic food is bullshit, but it seems like a lot of these type of places are more focused on creating a commodified form of what people think authentic food is, than actually making good food. Unfortunately this trend has plagued the humble pizza. I think the way to judge if a pizza is “real” is if you can consume it while walking down a street having a conversation, that’s real pizza.
What all of this effort should really go to… Italy should invalidate the Italian ancestry of anyone involved with calling Chicago deep dish “pizza.” That shit is a casserole, delicious as it may be. NOT PIZZA
Ok, but raisins in Mac and cheese is a fucking affront to humanity.
I dunno cause dried fruits are pretty normally served with cheese, and if the starch was a baguette or cracker instead of pasta it would be considered almost boring. People add ketchup to mac’n’cheese which I think is gross, but to me that’s a stronger and sweeter taste than rasins.
I love peach on my pizza
Do you ever call it a peach-a? Because you better.
I would worry that peach slices that big would get too watery. I think that pineapple, tomato slices and peppers only work when they’re small enough that they don’t make a little moisture pocket around them.
Uhh fuck ye that’s a pizza! One of my pineapple bois:

The problem with Pineapple on pizza is that everyone thinks ham goes with it. That’s ok, but pepperoni and pineapple is so much better, and nobody ever gets to try it because of “Hawaiian” pizza.
I put pepperoni, ham, bacon and pineapple on my pizza. So tasty.

And they should be dry well before touching pizza to avoid sogginess.
My wife loves a good 3 P pizza as she calls it…Pineapple, Pepperoni, and Peppers (green). She orders one at least once a month.
This, also bacon and pineapple 🤤
Or go full Hawaiian with crispy spam and pineapple…
Ham is bottom tier tbh
Finally someone’s brave enough to say the truth about ham.
The only reason I enjoy eating ham on meat lovers or Hawaiian pizza is because it’s pizza and it doesn’t disassemble well.
Bacon, pineapple, and jalapeño is what the fuck’s up.

I always like people gatekeeping pizzas that use toppings other than the traditional Italian ones.
… ignoring the fact that tomato sauce is from the Americas.
I put leftover beans and corn on a pizza from Taco night and one of my friends flipped. I thought it was pretty good. Pizza is just bread sauce and a topping.
Your friend was right
My friend only eats cheese pizza.
Ouch. Sucks to be wrong against someone with such poor taste
Don’t leave us hanging. Have you died or not?

Make a pineapple, mac and cheese, and raisin pizza.
Help
No
Imsorrywhatnow?!
When you fucking what now?
Pineapple on pizza is just… no.
— me, an American
“Americans when you deep fry butter”
Both sound just awful
