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 had pineapple on pizza once. It wasn’t as bad as I thought but not on my top ten. I like mushrooms with steak, cheese steak and other dishes and casseroles. I had an anchovy and not a fan. Tried to eat a sardine, was horrible. Fish on pizza is a crime if fruit is.

        Yeah but it is used as a vegetable. So is cucumber (but I haven’t seen cucumber on pizza, but I have seen pickles on a cheese burger pizza). People don’t like sweet/sour fruits on pizza. While tomatoes are often sweet, not as sweet as most fruits. All plants that are edible and come from flower ovaries are fruits: bell peppers, squash, eggplant.

          Just a friendly reminder, pollen is plant cum. Enjoy that thought the next time you have a sneezing fit.

            Yea and we eat plant reproductive organs. But it doesn’t surprise me because we eat “babies” ie chicken eggs. Young animals ie veal. Also, bees vomit the pollen they process in their stomachs onto the honeycomb. Nature is indeed wild, but we are notoriously wilder.

            I should have added that lol. Strawberry was one that surprised me a while ago. Never knew that they are in the rose family and flowers kind of.

            And I was mad at animal crossing for putting bananas on palm trees . They are herbs and berries.

      I would never order it, but I’ll eat a “Hawaiin” if someone puts it in front of me (well, would have before my gluten issues). Living in Japan taught me that a lot of things work amazingly well on pizza. Roasted corn is one of my favorites. Bulgogi and kimchi is another one that works really nicely.
