      Sweet and savory is a god tier class of food IMHO. Pineapple on pizza is just the tip of the delicious iceberg. Have you tried peaches with rice and curry? Or raisins in rice? I also like sweet and sour sauce, especially with little pieces of assorted fruits.

      My girlfriend hates it, in her opinion the only way to go with savory is salt, although she tolerates pork and pineapple on pizza, since the salty pork overpowers the sweet of the pineapple. But I love it!

        I’m with your girlfriend. I don’t find pineapple on pizza disgusting, but for some reason it just doesn’t gel for me. Same with sausage and jam on a biscuit… One or the other, please!

        But anchovies on pizza… yessssss. Get them salty, grimy fuckers in there.

        That sounds very interesting!. Do you mean curry leaves, or a particular curry sauce? I know e.g. masaman often includes peanuts.

        • Curry powder! I’ve never tried curry leaves or curry sauce, but those sound delicious too. Whichever way you add the curry, I highly recommend trying it!

          I discovered that combo when I was living in Sweden where it’s a fairly common one that most pizza places offer. I believe the pizzas are usually called Bahamas, Afrikana or Tropicana and they always feature pineapple, banana and curry, and usually either ham, shrimp or peanuts.

    • I used to hate on it before I tried it at a friend’s house. Man, Hawaiian pizza is one of my favourite ones now and I will happily join you on dying on this hill.

        Ew, I’ve given olives an honest shot but I just can’t even. Feta is great for a salty pairing with pineapple though!

      Legitimate? Sure. As good as other options? Hell nah, brother. I’ve got too many other delicious options that take up cheese space to waste on pineapple.
