Spinoff: Pineapple on a Pizza?

[Shanna-like-Banana]

Yum ! Yes ! Pineapple and bacon

 

[bcla]

The concept is actually Canadian. I suppose pineapples are associated with Hawaii even though they're not native.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Absolutely not. Rates right up there with such pairings as mustard & ice cream. No, just NO!

 

[Couchy]

I love it on pizza

 

[disneyhand]

I love pizza with pineapple and Canadian bacon

 

[usnuzuloose]

I hate pineapple.

 

[tomatecerise]

No pineapple on pizza but lot loooooooot of Green peppers!

 

[Kimberlyann11]

I love pineapple, but it needs to know its place and stay where it belongs. ie not on pizza.

 

[RedAngie]

Nope. Absolutely not. No pineapple on pizza. No Dole Whips. No pineapple in a fruit salad. No pineapple in any form, liquid, solid, frozen. Not even if it comes in a gas or anti-matter form. Just no. Quite possibly the worst food I've ever tried in terms of taste and texture.

 

[tvguy]

no. Doesn't sound good to me.
If it was served at a party or something I would try it, but not really popular around here.

Do the pizza places where you live have it on their menus?

 

[justgrace]

Absolutely! It's delicious!

FOR

 

[PollyannaMom]

Not my thing at all!

DH likes it, though, so if we have enough enough people over when we order pizza, we get his Hawaiian and my veggie lover's. Someone always shares them with us. Otherwise we stick to cheese and maybe mushoom.

Our family is absolutely in the "FOR" category. (Disclaimer: We are Canadian and will only ever order pineapple on a pizza when it is paired with either Canadian bacon/ham or regular bacon...nothing else.) What I find interesting is that in Canada the combination of ham and pineapple on a pizza is called a Hawaiian, but when we were living in the U.S. (I can't remember which area as we have lived all over) and went to order pizza one time, that same combination was called a "Canadian." I wasn't sure if that was because it was something that Canadians have made popular or if was because of the Canadian bacon used. Either way, it felt a little strange to order a "Canadian" pizza in the U.S. when in Canada we would have used the U.S. "Hawaiian" name.

I have only heard of that referred to as a Hawaiian.

But for me pineapple ruins the pizza.

 

[Kimberlyann11]

I think it's a Hawaiian with ham and a Canadian with canadian bacon.

 

[luvsJack]

Dd's favorite is pineapple, canadian bacon (or ham, depending on the place) and bacon with very light sauce.
I don't hate it but its not my favorite either. Every place here has it on the menu and one adds jalapenos.

That would get confusing...here at home a "Canadian" is the standard name for pepperoni, bacon and mushroom (sometimes with cheddar cheese).

Come on, give it a try. It's surprisingly good! Sweet and savory!

I've never tried it with bacon or Canadian bacon, just ham and pineapple. Really good. If given a choice, this is what DS will order every time. (Personally, I like plum tomato and carmelized onion myself, but I also like Hawaaian.)

This must be "regional", lol. Here in MA we call ham and pineapple pizza Hawaaian for the most part. It can vary a little, I suppose, but if you order Hawaaian, most everyone knows what you're talking about. I've never heard it called "Canadian". Where did you experience this, out of curiosity? (Sorry, I see you said you can't remember.)
