So, a Greek guy in Canada made an Italian staple into something that he thought would represent a Hawaiian cuisine (even though it was just the can, many people naively believe it truly is a Hawaiian dish)

Once someone told me they thought that’s how they ate their pizza over there. Lol.

Nevertheless, if I were in Canada at that time, I would have visited his restaurant and ordered one of the originals. It’s not the best pizza topping but it is also not the worst. (I hate anchovies, fish of any kind or mushrooms on my pizza. Mushrooms are good in other dishes.)

      I haven’t tried it, but I have had warm/hot pineapple in other situations and I know I don’t like it.

      Similarly, I don’t have to have a banana split to know I won’t like it since I already hate bananas.

      Also, the traditional Hawaiian pizza also has ham on it, which I also don’t like. You don’t necessarily have to try a dish to know you won’t like it.

        See that’s a valid excuse. Similarly I don’t eat seafood so I know in advance I’m not gonna like anything with oysters in it. It’s different when someone doesn’t have those restrictions.

          I am not a fan of seafood at all, but I LOVE sushi. So I guess it turns out that I don’t like the taste of cooked seafood.

      I haven’t tried poutine or broccoli on pizza.

      It would be like putting salsa on Cajun food. There’s a conflict there that’s readily apparent.

      You could just sweeten the sauce and increase the acidity to get a similar result as pineapple.

        Oh no the best pineapple pizzas are the ones without sauce/with white sauce. The pizza oven cuts the acidity of the pineapple and makes it delicately sweet.

        I would try poutine on pizza without a second thought. Living in the vicinity of the pizza mecca of the world, you’d be surprised by what some places come up with out of sheer boredom. And it’s usually not that bad. I’ve seen fucking vodka rigatoni pizza. Yes, that is pasta ON pizza.

        I have had broccoli and chicken white pizza, and it’s fucking great.
