The Great Pineapple Debate

Freak...

 

Yeah, that's me too.

Now, bacon wrapped pineapple bites?

 

I remember that story! The CEO didn't think much of the fish burger idea, if I remember right. So finally, they had it and the pineapple sandwich go head to head at a franchise in a heavily Catholic neighborhood, one Friday. Final score: Filet o' Fish 350, Pineapple sandwich 8. The CEO changed his tune, and the rest is history.

 

I do love grilled pineapple, though.
By itself, not in a bun swaddled in "cheese"

 

Agreed. And it ain't dinner unless it contains protein.

 

Pineapple, yes.

Meat, generally not (except for prawns/scampi).

 

Like all things, it depends upon the specifics.

Some of the best pizzas I've had have had pineapple on them. That was because of the specific crust, sauce, and cheese, with the specific sausage, the pepperoni, their cuts, the selection and cut of pineapple, the overall arrangement, etc.

Inartistically and tastelessly made pizzas with pineapple from other restaurants have also blown.

Because of the former, I vote Yay! (To vote otherwise would be to akin to denying that it's possible for e.g. a pepperoni pizza to totally suck.)

 

I think once in a while Hardee's/Carls Jr. in the US does a "Hawaiian" burger that has grilled pineapple, ham and teriyaki sauce on the beef patty. It wouldn't be my first choice, but I've never met one of their burgers I didn't like.

... but you luv me anyway...

 

Yes. Yes to Hawaiian pizza. Resounding, unequivoval yes.

Unless it has chicken on it instead of ham and/bacon. Then it's just nonsense I will not countenance.

Yes to pineapple on burgers, too. Yes to grilled pineapple, added as a sweet element to a savory meal. I sing thy praises, delicious bacon wrapped pineapple bits!

 

Let's not forget the use of big chunks of pineapple in Americanized versions of sweet and sour pork.
I'm ambivalent about that.

I'm ambivalent about sweet and sour pork period. But at least with big chunks they're easy to separate from the meat.

 

Pineapple on pizza is so deeply, unforgivably wrong that I really can't bring myself to admit that I've tried it.

And liked it.

 

Pineapple is deelish. Pineapple on pizza is a sin against nature.

Don't sin against nature.

 

Pineapple on pizza. Yes please. Pineapple is just awesome.

I love having ham, pineapple and cheese toasted sandwiches.

I had a works burger a few weeks ago. Yum.

 

Anyone in this thread who thinks pineapple on pizza is a good idea is making Nelix look like a good chef.

 

Neelix had the benefit of not knowing better

 

Leave out the beetroot and you have a deal

 

Pff.. people who don't like pineapple on their pizza probably drink decaff and listen to pop music.
