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.

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.
