Edit: Oops, I found it. Though I thought we were teasing one of our Pub members and not that guy anymore.

I thought we were tossing Giganotosaurus not the other guy. Though I didn't toss him, I apologize anyway.

 

[Raleel]

i also like pineapple on pizza, and i like cuba libres (though I'm unlikely to have them virgin).

 

[Godfather Punk]

And this is why I eat pizza with a fork, to pick up the pieces of pineapple that fall off.

 

[JamesV]

Pineapple on pizza requires other elements to balance the sweetness.

First, salt. Traditionally it's Canadian/back bacon, but I think not salty enough. Do regular bacon and grab some smoke with the deal.

Then heat. I prefer jalapeños, but hot sauces with a good bit of vinegar can do the trick.

Hawaiian pizza with jalapeños is better than it has any right to be

Heretics!

 

[Giganotosaurus]

Heretics!

I never thought I'd be on the receiving end of this. It's opened my eyes.

 

[chuckdee]

Jalapenos are good on nothing.

See normally I would call you a heretic and insist we burn you, but now I've been humbled.

The jalapenos will do the burning for you.

 

[EmperorNorton]

I legit can just eat pickled jalepenos out of the jar by themselves.

 

[Self Saboteur]

When I started towing in a town called Melrose Park about 25 years back, I'd stop at the diners and a get a styrofoam cup filled with jalapenos and drive around just eating them while looking for repos. Think it was 10 cents a cup. Every diner had 'em too.

This reminds me of the TV show "Fringe" where the characters from one variant future were constantly eating jalapenos (or dumping a pound of salt on things).

 

[spittingimage]

He's right, tho'. Jalapenos don't need to be accompanied by anything in order to be a tasty snack.

I don't eat 'em by the jar anymore, though. For reasons.

I don't think that's what he meant. The phrase 'good on nothing' apparently swings two ways.

I think pepperoni is the sweet spot for counterbalancing pineapple, but yeah; there are no bad individual toppings, only bad combinations.

I do love pickles.

 

[Self Saboteur]

I'll eat any type of pizza just no anchovies. I even like plain cheese. Could eat pizza 3 times a day every day. It is the perfect food. Except Lou Malnottis. That stuff's crap.

I’m sorry, you are mistaken.

 

[sharps54]

Although as of late I have been making lots of meals with the crock pot, easy prep and easy to clean up.

I'll happily eat your share of anchovies. Salty little packages of joy. You can have my pineapple.

I never understood the dislike for anchovies myself.

 

[Self Saboteur]

Lasagna is just triple decker pizza with soft crust

 

[Fenris-77]

This argument depends entirely on the recipe in question. Far more, to mind than that same notion applies to pizza.

To be fair, if you're not expecting them, biting into one is like getting punched in the face with flavour. I kinda like that, but I understand that not everyone does.

Hey we were doing just fine before you showed up

 

[Godfather Punk]

I'm sure this meme is ripe now, to be captioned in this thread, but my <Undo> key is getting worn out from rejected half-arsed attempts... You all have a go at it.



Maybe even the full version:

Also depends if we're talking lasagna or pastitsio

 

[EmperorNorton]

My go to cheap pizza is pepperoni and roasted red peppers (2 topping so it works with Domino's 5.99 two topping pizzas if you order 2 or more pizzas).

Well pastitio is just moussaka with noodles instead of the superior potato. Ignoring any fake news about the relative introduction of potatoes and pasta to Europe of course....

All I know is that I'll never turn down either of them!

 

[Urdlen's best boy]

What it looks like is everyone ignored Endless's blue text. Not cool guys.

apologies
sorry I forgot about the blue text & posted like an idiot

 

[Lofgeornost]

I never understood the dislike for anchovies myself.

In my case, it's the effect of the salt on my inner ears.

 

[Urdlen's best boy]

Tengential to the present debate : tried pineapple in curry recently. Great success!

Pineapple in curry is very tasty.

It just occurred to me that this thread is a good example of the universal law of the 'Pub; any sufficiently advanced thread is indistinguishable from the Food Network.

I prefer not to clarify... let people make their own interpretations and let the fight over those begin!
