[later] I don't get why our pizza slices have such terrible reviews; the geotextile-infused sauce gives the toppings incredible slope stability!

hey now, if those pineapple pizza lovers could read, they'd be very upset with you right now!

It was first done in Canada, so there's probably a tariff on it.

I don’t understand all the pineapple pizza hate. Sweet and savory bro. SWEET AN SAVORY!!!

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Pineapple and anchovy is delicious. Sweet and salty flavor explosion.

Fortunately, all 3 of them can't read.

I imagine all the pineapple on pizza outrage would swiftly quiet down if people learned that the swedes put banana and curry on their pizzas.

…honestly, throw some ham on that and I think it wouldn't be half bad.

[–] DireTech@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That sounds so weird that I want to try it.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's better than you'd think (which admittedly doesn't say much).

Sadly, Boston Pizza and Curry went out of business a few years ago and we never did try their tika masala pizza.

But their curry was acceptable...

Corn and mayonaise pizza. Good luck with that information

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol this is like the Chinese idea of American food.

They put corn on almost all of the pizzas they fed me there and "American breakfast" was just a hard boiled egg and a cold hot dog.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like japan as well. Corn and mayo (often with either canned tuna or potato salad), and the coffee shops used to have a "breakfast special" deal with a coffee plus hot dog.

[–] y0kai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Haha I have yet to go but it sounds like an experience. I wonder how coffee-dipped hotdog tastes.

Wait, elotes on pizza?! Two of my favorite things! Giving this a go next pizza night.

I admit it, that joke was low-hanging fruit.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But... pineapples don't hang? Unless you were referring to the diodes. I'm not sure how those grow in the wild.

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 1 points 2 weeks ago

Those grow in gas chambers
