I don't eat pineapple on my pizza so it's neither here or there for me. But, if someone wants pineapple on their pizza they should get pineapple on their pizza

Wait, there's pizza delivery in Iceland...

Hawaii may have to boycott ???? do they export anything besides frozen fish? Hawaiians prefer it fresh from someone they know in Hawaii already. what's our strategy?
is this some kind of negotiating ploy? what do they really want?
after reading the article and clicking on a sidebar I see they have two daily flights to anchorage and none to Honolulu!!!! no wonder the ban if only canned pineapple is available for toppings. gotta be fresh brah.

I have a pen
I ban a pineapple

Fine with me.

Not sure I agree with ban but pineapple on pizza is as absurd as jalapenos in bagels. I'm all for cross-cultural fertilization and fusion food but some things just DON'T mix.

I like both of those.

As an aside, when I was visiting Arizona a couple years ago, I was amazed to discover that not only did the Safeway I visited not carry any pizzas with pineapple, but the cashier had never even heard of the concept.

I honestly never knew this was such a controversial topic.

Fruit has no place on pizza. Go ahead and tell me that tomatoes are a fruit, I will punch you.

Canadian Bacon and Pineapple pizza is awesome.

Hawaiian Pizza is my fucking joint, yo. Used to love the thin crust from Organ Grinder back in the day.

The article says that the President of Iceland's name is Guðni Th. Jóhannesson.

I looked up the letter ð to see whether that little flying bird is a misprint.

It's a translingual letter. First they got bathrooms, now they have their own alphabet.

Guess I should move to Iceland. Pineapple on Pizza is a crime that should be punished.

I like the cheddar jalapeno bagels from Costco.

Maybe some pineapple cream cheese would make for a tasty abomination.

Pineapples are for upside down cake, juice or fruit salad...keep them out of my main courses and confine them to the dessert tray

 

[PDXFonz]

Some of my favorite pizza topping combos:
Jalapenos & Pepperoni
Olives & Green Pepper
Artichoke & Pepperocini

I don't think I've ever actually bought those before. I'm going to look for them next time I go to costco. Are they Kirkland?

I think so. They bake them in store. Can usually get two sleeves for $8 here.
