Grilled pineapple is so freaking good on a burger, especially if you use sweet chili for the sauce instead of ketchup/mustard/mayo.

Who cares. Eat what you like. If it's a pineapple burger, put it in... And let people eat what they want and like, as long as it is not harming others.

American here, living in the Seattle area. I have never had pineapple on pizza. I like it on pizza, but only if combined with other toppings that are spicy and salty. I would try it on a burger, but I already have issue with burgers being too fucking tall (ridiculous and pretentious) and melting from too much grease, so adding more toppings that are liquid prone seems, logistically, the wrong direction. But as always, I am always happy to be proven wrong.

Enjoy a burger how you want, or not, I could hardly care any less as long as you're not hurting anybody with your lifestyle choice.

Personally, I just don't like cooked pineapple very much. It's a pale imitation of fresh in both taste and texture. Pure disappointment, and I've got enough disappointment in my life already, don't need anymore on my pizza or burger or tacos or spaghetti or upside down cake or colada.

A friend of mine turned me on to pineapple and peanut butter on my burger. It is weirdly amazing.

They're pretty good, they definitely improve an otherwise pretty average burger. I've rarely had them on actual good burgers but on those occasions they were also good, but I think the trouble is that in that context it's kind of a distraction and just a bit too much added water weight if it's an otherwise nice hefty and generous burger. They definitely need to be cooked themselves a bit to caramelise them though otherwise not really worth bothering with.

Did this once for some friends come over for a cook out. Everybody loved them.

Just so long as you wash it down with an avocado smoothie.

Condensing a rant I had on another comm with this question here: fruit belongs with meat. fullstop. Idk why we're still having this discussion when medieval peasants were able to figure it out in like the 12th century.

Pineapple is a weak choice of fruit for savory-sweet combinations. Y'all need to learn about cranberry

Pineapple? Don’t insult the burger like that

Meh. I'd try it but I don't think I would especially enjoy it over any other burger. But I won't judge anyone who likes it.

This has only just occurred to me, and I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet its really good on a hot dog.

Nothing on burgers except cheese and onions on a smash burger or lettuce and tomato on a bbq burger. Anything else is just overkill i think. I like pineapple on pizza but I don’t want sweet on my burger

Pineapple creamcheese bbq sauce 👌

No

I was on board with pineapple in some scenarios. Carl's Jr does a teriyaki burger with pineapple that's alright.

But beets? Apparently even the food is trying to kill you down under.

There is only one place pineapple belongs ...

In HELL.

Belongs? How about we let people eat whatever the hell they want? Who cares?

Why can’t we just let people eat what they want and how they want? We have bigger things to worry about…like fascists in the White House. Or war between Israel and Iran. Or people with a foot fetish.

Pineapple belongs on everything you like it on. No matter what others say. Life’s too short to rob yourself of things food you like, simply because other people think so.

Whatever you want on food belongs on food!

Fuck yeah, grilled alongside the patty, maybe a soy sauce glaze.

Fuck that abomination you described though.

If someone enjoys something I say let them enjoy it. Seems like an interesting combination but not something I need to go out and try immediately.

Pineapple is really good for sweet, salty, spicy combos. Pepperoni, pineapple, jalapeno pizza goes really hard, don't really like pineapple on other pizzas though.

Maybe adding something spicy to this burger would be good too.
