And in breaking news... Guaranteed to cause arguments world wide!!

You might think pineapple on pizza originated somewhere in the tropics, but no. It was – get this – a Greek immigrant in Canada who first put pineapple on pizza in 1962, inspired by Chinese-American food that combined sweet-and-sour flavours. Hawaii had recently attained statehood and supplied the ingredient. Incidentally pineapple, carrot and onion in stir-fries is a sure-fire sign of inauthentic Chinese cuisine.

As an Italian, learning that out of all nationalities it was a Greek is even more heartbreaking

@Elessar Yeah, sorry about that. The Italian side of my family is going to be sooooo pissed when I break the news to them. They still haven't gotten over me telling them that pasta was invented in China🤣🤣🤣

@room101 that last bit is up for debate... If read the studies that Mr polo bought it back with him but then s few years back they discovered recipes in the old parts of time describing it's preparation

@ozgirl512 I need to look into this. I love driving them nuts about food and simply can't have them coming back at me with credible info that contradicts me hahahaha
Jenny1234 · 51-55, F
Hes a genius. I love pineapple on any pizza
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@Jenny1234 couldn't agree more!
@ozgirl512 Me three. I am more fond of cuisine that tastes good to me than that which is considered authentic to others.

Interesting. I love historical tidbits like this, but I will never love pineapple on pizza.
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@Rutterman you'll survive lol
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@ozgirl512 Yes, but only if I'm not forced to have pineapple on pizza. 😄

Why didn't he invent a Pineapple Gyro instead?

And of course it would have to be a Canadian invention. Where else would they start with Canadian Bacon?
@Northwest Interestingly, Canadians simply call it ham.

@CorvusBlackthorne Same with Europeans. The world is falling apart.

A Greek immigrant came up with pineapple on pizza?! 😖 🤣🤣
room101 · 51-55, M
@Scribbles Why are you surprised? I keep telling you..............GREEKS INVENTED EVERYTHING!!!
Scribbles · 36-40, F
@room101 🤦‍♀️You're right! 🤣 It just cracks me up-that even pineapple on pizza is a Greek invention. Lol
room101 · 51-55, M
@Scribbles IKR.................those bloody Greeks🤣🤣🤣

Sliced of fruit do NOT belong on pizza.
theoldschoola · 46-50, M
@ozgirl512 I don't like sliced tomatoes on pizza either. Just keep them in the sauce.
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@theoldschoola but that's a fruit sauce then ;)
theoldschoola · 46-50, M
@ozgirl512 I said "sliced" fruit does not belong and "keep them in the sauce"
CassandraSissy · 26-30, TVIP

@ozgirl512 Some educated ones as well.
KiwiBird · 36-40, F
Yes. A very well known fact. He died and Pineapple on Pizza with every recipe should have been buried with him.

I'm glad someone has their finger on the pulse of the properly important news this week :)

(And can pineapple on pizza be as controversial as spaghetti hoops, anyway?)

I have the feeling that at least one person in Hawaii put a slice of pineapple on a pizza at some point before...
