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
