Pineapple on Pizza isn't bad and you're being whiners

Correct
My polish grandmother used to make us pasta with applesauce. Surprisingly tasty.
I'm terms of pizza, here in Sweden we have the kebab pizza and the banana-curry pizza. The latter one was slightly disappointing in how ok it was.
DΓΆner Pizza is one of Germany's most popular Pizzas. Next to Spaghetti Bolognese Pizza.
Kebab Pizza! It's like Arabian cuisine having intercourse with Italian cuisine!
I love strawberries, that sounds awful, and next strawberry season I would love to try it. Could I have a recipe?
There are tons of recipes for fruit pierogi if you google em, they usually include the recipe for the pasta as well. They're little dumplings, basically ravioli. My fiance is polish and I make them for him on occasion with twarog and blueberries, (a simple milk cheese that's really easy to make -you can skip the cheese and serve them with cream which is great too) boil them, then fry them in butter and sprinkle them with powdered sugar.
Ooh, that actually doesn't sound bad... Slightly tart sweet with the salty tang of the sauce, maybe with a kick of spice from jalapenos... I'll have to give that a try sometime
ETA: I missed that it said "pasta" rather than "pizza", but my comment stands
Alright guys. How do you all feel about a dessert lasagna?
Since I generally prefer another serving of the main course over dessert, sure, I can just eat more lasagna for dessert.
I would like to know more!
It's been a long time since I've been, but I distinctly remember Olive Garden having a chocolate lasagna. It was decent, but nothing to rave about.
Is this for real? How has this not been brought up already as a crime against humanity?
Ever had spaghetti ice cream with strawberry sauce and grazed white chocolate as "parmesan"
Fruit goes on cooked flour.
It's been like that for centuries.
Cake. Danish. Fruitcake. Pizza. Filled doughnuts. Kolacky. Raisin bread. Banana bread...
Ya know when ya put Danish I thought you were calling the Danes gay and just kinda accepted it.
Not sopping wet flour
You don't boil any of those
Marshmallows and gravy.
Man, people miss out on so much good eating because of preconceptions and gatekeeping.
Berries go with almost anything. And yeah, technically strawberries aren't berries. But the point is that pretty much every berry is a blend of acidic tartness, sweetness, and complex flavors. There's no world in which berries make something bad.
Any fruit has the potential to go with any standard food. Meats, pastas, breads, even veggies. It's a matter of balancing the specific fruit with the other ingredients.
That's why pineapple on pizza works. Tangy, sweet, and with that hard to describe tropical fruitiness. It brings out the sweetness of a good tomato sauce while cutting through the fattiness of toppings and any oils.
Pork chops and applesauce baby, it's a classic for reason. Pork stuffed with apples; and other things, orange chicken or duck, blackberry glazed venison roast (seriously, you want to try it), apricot beef (or lamb), curried goat with prunes (or apricot, or peaches even), roasted brussels sprouts with apples and cranberries.
It's all about the balancing with other things.
The Polish strawberry pasta? It's balanced out with sour cream that mutes the sweetness some, and works as a bridge with the pasta.
I know I'm talking into a void here, what with this being a meme, but I'm always so amazed that people will dismiss a food combination without trying it, or sometimes without even trying to imagine the possibilities.

I blame Alton Brown.
Hear me out.
Alton Brown is undoubtedly a legendary figure and he did a lot of good for the modern state of culinary entertainment. His scientific, experimental approach was authoritative. He came up with what was scientifically the best way to do a thing, demonstrated why, and did it in a very entertaining way.
But with that, came scores of fans who saw "this is the best way to do a thing" and interpreted that as "this is the only way to do a thing, fuck you you're doing it wrong."
Alton wasn't doing what other TV chefs were doing. Emeril and Julia presented really good recipes, they'd add some flare and say hey, this is how we do it around here. Bourdain explored the world and showed off a lot of great ways to cook. He was reluctant to criticize and clearly just loved the food.
But Alton Brown, for all the good he did, opened up authority to fans who didn't know shit about fuck. He spoke with confidence about how his method was the right method.
Right about the time the Internet was coming in to it's own and arguing about nonsense online became a hobby a person could have.
Now, there's a culture of being right about cooking online. People who log in every day just to bitch about how somebody else cooked something.
Obviously it's not exclusively Alton's fault, and Alton is as open to new and interesting ways to cook things as Bourdain was, a fact you'll discover if he ever happens to visit your home town and read what he says about the food there on his Facebook page.
But there is a through line there, and it starts at Good Eats.
You know, I agree, especially about Alton not being the cause as much as it is the viewers looking for am excuse to feel holier-than-thou about something.
You're dead right that people took his work way too far and assumed that because he was breaking things down into the underlying food science and methodology that the exact preparations he used were default the best, period.
He wasn't prone to that himself, though he did go hard against myths.
He's a terrific food educator. One of the best in television history imo. But you're also dead right about the entertainment side screwing things up. His on screen persona, combined with the structure of good eats as a show made it too easy for food snobs to glom onto the wrong parts
I think you said it better than I did. Dude just wanted to educate and people just can't let something be good. It has to be correct.

Japan putting ketchup on spaghetti: "Hold my sake."
Meanwhile, Korea is doing crimes by adding corn and/or potatoes on their pizza.
Japan doesn't do potatoes but corn on pizza is popular. I'm willing to tolerate a lot of different toppings but for some reason corn just seems wrong to me
What other condiment can you put on there? Mayonaisse?

Hawaiian pizza was invented by a Greek man running an Italian pizzeria in Toronto inspired by the sweet and sour flavors of Chinese cuisine
Sugar, cinnamon, and butter on spaghetti is amazing (sans meat, herbs, and spaghetti sauce, in case it needed to be said). It doesn't taste like spaghetti; it tastes like dessert.
As a wise man recently said:

Tradition is just peer pressure from the dead
Need to polish them tastes
A famous italian chef branded the strawberry and champagne risotto, so maybe not
