I will never understand why pineapple on pizza is the one salty/sweet combo most people just can't abide.

    To be fair, I don't like basically any salty sweet combo. You can keep your salted caramel and waffles with chicken!

    I grew up in a household where I was taught when cooking salty sweet dishes, you should add just enough sugar to the dish so that it tastes different but you can't tell why. Otherwise you've added too much sugar.

    You can definitely taste the sweet in Pineapple pizza...

    In some savory dishes like tomato sauce for example you add a little bit of sugar to reduce bitterness and just make the flavors more balanced. Also, most anything tastes better if you add just a little bit of salt in at some point of the cooking process.

    Doesn't mean I'm going to sprinkle sea salt on top of my pecan pie though...

    Yeah there are banana curry and kebab meat with bearnaise sauce, the two other Swedish pizza specials, why are nobody talking about them?

    I know it's a joke, but just let people enjoy things, you know?

    Sweet with salty is hardly an anomaly in the culinary world. Salted caramel anyone? Ham glazed with honey anyone? Basalmic glaze over tomatoes anyone?

    I've never understood why people get so worked up over this combo. It's totally rational and, for many, subjectively delicious (which is, like you say, all that matters).

    No one freaks out when people order food with cilantro even though it literally tastes like soap to some people. They just say "cilantro is not for me, tastes like soap" and get back to their burger or whatever.

    I love pineapple on pizza.

    Eating crust first is a war crime.

    Eating crust first is a war crime.

    To me it's like eating your least favorite candy in a mixed bag first - you're left with the best part last. You have to leave just a bit of it so you can still grab it.

    E: Also, if you eat all the crusts last they usually go dry and hard instead of nice and warm when you eat them first or as you go along. Depends on whether the dough is good really.

    If you are just force feeding yourself the crust, maybe not eating the crust would be a better choice since it is just carbs at that point.

    I agree, if you are. Never said anything about force feeding though.

    A good dough is just good bread, but anyone who has ever eaten bread will know it'll dry and get hard if it sits out in the open for long enough. And even then, it can make for good breadsticks for sauce or soup or whatever if it's a good dough. Like I said, it all boils down to how good the dough/crust is. I don't really eat shitty pizza with shitty dough though so I don't really have the problem of "force feeding" the crusts. The dough, along with the tomato sauce is one of the most important parts of a good pizza IMO.

    A bite of history:

    I have never met a person (that wasn't chronically online) in real life that cares about Pineapple Pizza, it's a silly internet meme.

    Pineapple on Pizza - eh

    Pasta on Pizza - an evil only adequately punished by perpetual constipation.

    This is how it feels when someone doesn’t like how you live your life.
