Flying SquidTIL a Canadian from Greece took an American version of an Italian dish and added tropical fruit to it and called it a Hawaiian pizza.
southsamuraiIt’s kinda crazy that it took the combined culinary efforts of at least 4 nations to create something genius that would piss off all of those nations.
Also, pineapple on pizza is fucking delicious, and I will fight over that personal opinion being as valid as it sucking :)
NIBIn Greece, eating feta cheese with watermelon(or melon) is somewhat common. You combine the sweetness of the watermelon with the saltiness of feta. And both things are cold.
Yup, and it’s yummy as hell.
Here in the south, and maybe elsewhere, we sometimes add a nice hunk of extra sharp cheddar on top of our apple pie for the same reason. Heck, any number of fruit plates will be served with cheeses, and vice versa.
Once you get into the sweet, salt, fat, acid combo, it really doesn’t matter what you use to get them.
To quote a great American show, “pork chops and applesauce”. “Hawaiian” pizza is just a different version of the same basic idea
