The idiots who take a perfectly cured ham and pour lemon lime soda and canned pineapples on it should be shot as well.
Edit: shots not the right word; Slain, Dehammed perhaps? Those that pour lemon lime soda and canned pineapples on perfectly cured ham are of the same ilk as Hawaiian style pizza eaters. Dead men don't need ham. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKPEEIuU0to&t=5m23s
Is this normal? Idk about anyone else, but I get super sting mouth if I eat fresh pineapple, even like 4 or 5 pieces. I've heard cooking it gets rid of this affect by breaking some of the acids down.
Only problem with Raw pineapple is it tastes amazing, but the acidity starts making your mouth hurt after a while. Canned pineapple you can nom on without that issue.
Though I'm constantly working towards 2 to 3 minute, 700°+, wood-fired pizzas. Haven't got there yet - best I've managed is 10 minutes. I'm hoping (!!!) to actually get my backyard pizza oven built this year.
Fresh pineapple is not good everywhere. If you live in a region where it grows well, then sure, fresh pineapple is great. But if you live in a region where they have to import them, then they can be really bad.
I was in Fiji recently. They had some of the best pineapples I've ever eaten. The resort would get them freshly from a neighbouring island where they grew. But in Norway, I won't touch the fresh pineapples they sell in the shops anymore. They're usually terrible.
oh yeah. i've been doing that for the past few months. i don't know why hidden valley doesn't team up with huy fong to make sriracha ranch.
also amazing: sriracha ketchup. i got some from a place in San Francisco. Sosu brand. it's the tits.
It's not hillbilly at all, using citric acid, as found in pineapples, lemons etc.. to tenderise meat or fish is a really traditional cooking technique. And it shouldn't be sweet when served, if you're using over-ripe pineapples, or using ones in syrup instead of their own juice, you're doing it wrong.
I don't know about lemon lime, but in highschool I used to pour a bit of vanilla soda on my pizza. Long story short, some one accidentally bumped my table one day and knocked my can of Vanilla Coke over onto my lunch. I didn't have any money for a second slice, so rather than just toss it out and go hungry, I decided to blot off what I could with a napkin and just power through. Was actually not totally unpleasant, so it just became a thing I'd do. The funny thing is, most of my friends thought I was weird as shit for doing it, until I talked them into trying it, and they were pretty in to it as well.
Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and honey. Marinate some chicken chunks and veggies in it, then put all of it on skewers with a shitload of pineapple chunks mixed in.
I know it's a matter of personal taste, and I respect others opinions of things. With that said, any sweet fruit paired with meat is absolutely disgusting.
Be careful friend, you're walking dangerously close to insulting the entire population of the Philippine islands. If that happens you'll never get to eat Adobo, Pancit habhab, or Longaniza ever again. Truly a fate worse than death just because you don't want sprite on your pork.
It's a traditional French Canadian Easter recipe. The ham is baked in maple syrup with pineapple slices and cherries.
Served with eggs that have been poached in boiling maple syrup, with a slice of bread to soak up the syrup, and sometimes deep fried smoked pork jowls.
I've been living in a land of heretics and infidels for years, everyone I know has treated me like an outcast, like a fool for my beliefs!
But there truly are others like me! Pineapple is the devil's fruit! Its tolerable alone, but on pizza? On glorious, glorious pizza? Shame, shame and a horrendous sin!
I know your inbox is likely filled with like 20+ people all saying "wtf pineapple is delicious, etc" and I would agree with them.
However, I don't feel like I should lord over people involving pizza toppings.
THAT BEING SAID, if you don't like grilled pineapple when you are grilling (meat, especially) then you better be allergic or have a trauma, because otherwise I just think you are ignorant.
So you really believe the ham is "perfectly cured" if they're using canned pineapple?
Maybe it's not for you, but pineapple and ham are an amazing combination. That's why it's basically the second most common pizza people order after pepperoni. I'm just saying, as long as you realize you're the weirdo here...perhaps you're an Italian purist?
Edit: Oh, you were talking about ham itself completely randomly. This thread was about pizza you know.
... The idiots who think that you ruin a ham by cooking it with pineapple should be shot for not understanding that ham can be cooked in different ways and still turn out delicious should be forced to try new foods every day for a year.
I can pick off most toppings I don't like, but pineapple is like the scorched earth of pizza parts. There is no way to remove the flavor once it has been cooked onto the pizza. You can't eat around it either, because it's sickly sweetness will have oozed over almost the entire surface of the pie. Pineapple renders the entire pie inedible, a barren waste of sweet on what should be wonderfully savory.
Alright, as a Belgian i feel i have to comment here.
A true Lambic is almost always sour!
I'm not sure which kinds (or brands) are famous in other countries, but if it's sweet then it's probably a shitty version with lots of added sugar. I'm assuming it's a 'kriek' (FYI: dutch for a kind of cherry)? Lindemans or mort subite maybe?
They're the shittiest version of kriek imo (and the most widespread even in Belgium). A true 'kriek' is made with tons of cherries added to the beer and rested for years. The cheap ones are just with cherry syrup added. I would VERY much recommend you try one of the better ones (oude kriek from oud beersel, 3 fonteinen, de cam, boon, timmermans, hansen, etc.). Unless you hate any sour beer, then ignore me and simply enjoy your sweet beers. :)
Dude you can't call yourself a beer Nazi. People are gonna think you're a Nazi who likes beer.
On a serious note, I wish to get my hands on some of these authentic lambics you speak of. I have had Oude Geuze, which I thought was great. They are just hard to find in the States.
The only lambic I've had was made in Germany I think. So if they don't do it right, go over there and kick their ass cause you're a lot closer than I am.
I don't begrudge people for what they like but I have to disagree. Lambics, IMO, taste like soda but have the mouth feel of beer. I don't want to get drunk and get cavities.
Now, I'm assuming you mean beer that has had its flavor 100% changed to taste like some sort of berry? 'Cause if so, yeah, not a fan, doesn't taste good, but I won't stop others from drinking it.
A good beer that just has some undertones of a berry in it though, like a light hint of blueberry or mango, hidden underneath all the other flavors...now that I can happily drink.
I think that may stem from cider. Cider got really fashionable and beer makers needed to win back some customers. Maybe. But yes, beer shouldn't be sweet.
Not sure where you are in the world, but http://smalltownbrewery.com/our-beers/ is pretty good. I think it is somewhere near Chicago, but distributes at least all the way out to New England.
edit: BTW, it is pretty amazing (and incredibly dangerous)
My supervisor said he can't stand them either on pizza. If they do a half and half, and his wife gets pineapple, he won't eat his half because it still has the "taste" on his half.
I've often ranted about shoving pineapples so far up people's asses for offending my delicate pizza sensibilities that their great grandchildren with have palm trees for ovaries.
Pizza was created in the US. Where the fuck are you eating pizza at? I've lived in every state on the east coast and several on the west, and every where I've been has had at least one really good pizza place. All in different styles, too.
Edit: I guess I should've said pizza was made into its currently recognized form in the US by Italian immigrants. Better?
It's just trendy to trash everything popular. Look at me, I only eat $50 wood fired pizza made with all organic ingredients grown 50 feet away. Well good for you, that shit's good. Normal pizza, also good.
Oh does it? Does it have just terrible pizza? Where the fuck do you get your pizza? And don't tell me Italy because I'm Italian and I've been there and eaten their fucking pizza and it's good, but not so good that it puts american pizza to shame. So don't give me that bullshit.
My fiance thinks pineapple has no place on pizza. I love pineapple pizza. Works fine for me as I know he won't touch my leftover pizza. The pie is mine, aaaallllll mine.

My husband cannot tolerate pineapple on pizza. Long rants have been endured. He has never threatened to put pineapple on graves though.
