(am pineapple lover AND proud tho)
I don’t judge dishes before I taste them.
Every single “horrible” dish commented on here could be the single most delicious dish you’d have ever tasted. But you will never know because you gave it no chance.
Tomatoes, Okra, Eggplant, Bell Peppers, Olives, and Zucchini are all fruits. Are they gross or otherwise forbidden on pizza?
Sounds like you need to make a fruit smoothie out of them and get back to us :)
botannical vs culinary are different beasts.
Corporate need you to find the difference between this picture (a pineapple pizza) and this picture (a strawberry pizza).
They’re the same picture.
Yeah like I’d try this if given the opportunity
Now I want strawberry pizza
Yea, sounds intriquing ngl
Yeah it needs something spicy and/or meaty though, like peppers or sausage or something.
Replace the cheese with white chocolate and you have a banger dessert.
I can see cheap store bought strawberries with savory things because they just have a bit of sweetness and sourness with little actual taste, but not actually good strawberries.
It’s at least worth a try before we bring out the pitchforks.
I’d just finish it with strawberry sundae drizzle after you cook it. Strawberries turn into slimy slugs with heat.
Surprised to see so many based comments. Now I know Lemmy is the platform for me. 😆
My knee jerk reaction was disgust, but then I was like you know what though? If I tell my kids every other day, “you have to try it first in order to say you don’t like it”, what kind of hypocrite would I be…
I will never try this though. There will never be an opportunity. 😄
Thank you for being an adult and attempting to keep your values consistent. My mom would’ve just told me, “Do as I say, not as I do,” then be surprised when I didn’t respect what she said.
❤️🙏
I’d have a slice, sure. It could be amazing!
There was a chain near me that did this, except it was a dessert pizza with streusel and icing instead of sauce and cheese.
It tasted alright. It was still weird though.
I’ll have you know a place nearby did a raisin pizza in the 90s, and it was glorious.
🤮
My grandma put raisins in her lasagna. I was thrilled when she got too sick to cook.
This must be how some people feel when they hear I like pineapple and ham pizza.
I am juuuuust stoned enough for this to work tbh
During the pandemic, I saw a reddit post (fuck u/spez) about someone that replaced pineapple with kiwi on a Hawaiian pie. I had just bought a pizza oven and figured I’d give it a try for the memes. It wasn’t awful. No real need to do it again, but it was fine lul.
Next time you want to experiment, try adding tater tots.
So many carbs, but damn it’s good. Just pre-cook the tots a bit before adding them to the pizza.
I’d imagine the kiwi was mushy and bland, while also making the rest of the pizza too sweet?
Damn, that’s a good looking pie!
Strawberries, tomatoes and pineapples are all sweet/sour, with the difference being the amount of one taste over another. I think it’s within reason to try to substitute between them and check how it influences the result.
Many times I’ve tried corn, pepper or green peas on pizza, all of them being sweet-tasting on their own so a strawberry isn’t really that far going, in my opinion.
The only thing I’m wondering about is the texture. I don’t know if a hot (probably even soft? Dunno) strawberry would be noticeable on a pizza and if so, would it be off-putting.
Strawberries don’t handle heat well structurally. They end up very slimy. They’re also not anywhere near as sweet on their own as pineapple is. When you blast them with heat, they get mushy and a bit more muted, pineapple keep their little juicy bursty bits.
Finishing with concentrated strawberry syrup would be really good. probably along the lines of honey.
Also sour-sweet, so why not? Although maybe a bit bland if baked, the kiwi one sounds better.
Sorry, we’re all too busy fighting the Altoona-style pizza people to focus on the strawberry people.
At least Altoona style is contained to Altoona, Hollidaysburg, Duncansville, and Bellwood. This strawberry thing might spread if not contained.
Pizza aside, hot pineapple on it’s own isn’t bad. Hot strawberries are.
I’m down to try strawberries on pizza.
No one here has yet named and shamed the Swedish for their banana pizza and I cannot let the Swedes continue to get away with this. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/bananas-and-curry-on-pizza-thats-how-the-swedish-do-it-180984961/
This article was way more interesting than I expected. I particularly enjoyed the anecdote about how some guy forgot to prepare something for a potluck dinner, basically threw random stuff he had left together and someone at the dinner published the recipe in a magazine and the rest is history.
I kinda want to try it, I’m not against the combination in theory, it’s just not really pizza anymore at that point, it just happens to be on a round flatbread.
