And, to set the record straight, I do enjoy pizza hawaii
You wouldn’t be assuming that everyone on Lemmy is American, would you? Because I lost my shit over that too.
I’m Dutch myself so nope, not assuming so XD
Nevertheless, as a European, it is my continental duty to shit on Americans, which is (partially) why I made the meme :P

I mean this is simply another reason us American carry guns
I don’t think most Americans need a reason.
I don’t think Americans need a

Food is Anarchy dude, Live by Your Own Rules!
That’s hydrochloric acid, though. Big no-no for ingestion according to my uncle who’s a doctor and my step brother who teaches chemistry.
Let me guess, you’re with the DEA?
Hell no! Drugs won the war on drugs
cook meth with your step brother wen
Nah, he doesn’t have cancer and we have single payer healthcare here 🤷
You’re thinking of Dihydrogen Monoxide, 100% of people who ingest it die.
And it’s in literally every commercially available beverage! Wake up, sheeple!
It’s only a matter of time :(
…What? In what place was HCl- ever mentioned?
Your reply is nonsensical.
I was referring to the liquid that the girl in the picture is pouring…
I will go on record as saying I don’t give a shit if there’s pineapple on my pizza. I wouldn’t order it that way, but I’ll enjoy a pineapple, jalapeño, ham pizza if a slice is put in front of me.
Raisins in Mac and cheese… I can imagine it’s probably tasty enough, but the rubbery consistency of raisins in tandem with sticky pasta is what I find revolting
I love raisins and even I think this would taste like shit.
I do love me some Hawaiian tho and raisins are bomb in a biryani… Fight me 🤣
Bacon is a tastier option than the ham… It’s actually my favorite combo of pizza toppings in fact.
Today I learned that this thread is real and not a meme. I honestly thought people were joking about raisins in Mac n cheese.
I don’t get it.
Is raisins in Mac n cheese like, a big thing in other countries and us Americans just don’t get it? If so I guess more power to you, that is news to me. I’d try anything once but I don’t really like raisins to begin with so it’s a bit of a tough sell.
And yes, pineapple on pizza is delicious. I’ve seen some truly abhorrent pizza toppings from elsewhere in the world, so I don’t think we have some kind of monopoly on those crimes.
Macncheese isn’t a big thing in other countries. Now cheesy potatoes with raisins!
What?
Mac and Cheese is a Canadian thing
I wouldn’t want to consider the Kraft boxes to be Mac and Cheese but it’s the only thing with statistics
Canadians out-eat Americans when it comes to these blue-and-yellow boxes by 55%. That means Canadians buy 1.7 million boxes of the 7 million boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese that are sold each week

It’s also why Kraft/Mondalez makes the weird flavors for you guys like Pumpkin Spice or Cotton Candy.
I get the joke now, thanks.
Raisins? Pff. Never heard of that. Frozen green peas though? That’s where it’s at for the boxed Mac and cheese.
I hate raisins either way but I love love love sauteed onions with my mac n cheese.
Onions makes sense though as cheese, onions and pasta are a normal combination but raisins?
Apples and cheddar? Pear and brie? Peaches and balsamic?
Sweet + tangy + savory is an incredibly popular combination, so Mac and cheese + raisins isn’t all that unusual.
Also it’s subjective. You don’t have to like it, but it shouldn’t be surprising that other people do.
Sweet and tangy with the presence of acids and moisture from the fruit are a good combo but guess what raisins don’t have?
Huh. I never thought to try that I bet it’s tasty
You do WHAT with Mac n cheese? Nah, forget pine apple pizza, your my new enemy.
There are plenty of americans who feel that pineapple on pizza is a crime.
Did Hawaii dirty
I mean traditionally ham and pineapple is their thing so I don’t think anyone is getting done dirty so long as non-fans aren’t forced to eat it 🤷
Hawaiian pizza was invented in Canada by a Greek guy
I know 😁
On a pizza ?
Yes. It’s actually delicious if done right.
Probably because it’s a Canadian invention.
Hawaii is the exception as the only place in the world where eating pizza with pineapple is legal.
raisins wtf
Straight to hell all the way to the bottom of hell with you with nothing to eat until the end of time except mac n raisins.
Ugh. Pineapple on pizza was created in Canada.
If you wanna throw shade at us go to deep fried Twinkies or something.
And it should’ve stayed in Canada
Woah there. I love pineapple on pizza. Pineapple, jalapenos, and mushrooms is just a great combo.
Add bacon!
I’m going to take one for the team and make this.
I also love pineapple on pizza.
I always like people gatekeeping pizzas that use toppings other than the traditional Italian ones.
… ignoring the fact that tomato sauce is from the Americas.
I put leftover beans and corn on a pizza from Taco night and one of my friends flipped. I thought it was pretty good. Pizza is just bread sauce and a topping.
Your friend was right
Make a pineapple, mac and cheese, and raisin pizza.
Help
No
Don’t leave us hanging. Have you died or not?
Not dead yet, didn’t make it. I don’t have cheese right now.
When you fucking what now?
I’m italian from a family so italian we’re all walkimg stereotypes, and pinapple+black olive is my favorate pizza combination.
You always know when someone says something like “we’re so Italian we…” that they’re definitely not from Italy
I always loved hearing stories from kids that spoke Italian at home in NJ who then went to Italy to discover the 1850s era Sicilian they actually spoke was nothing like modern Italian.
Canadians breathing a sigh of relief when everyone blames America for pineapple on pizza instead of them.
We can only protect ourselves on the merits of ginger beef and the ceasar for so long…
Don’t worry. I blame you for mayonnaise on hamburgers still.
Mayo, mustard, and onion were the original hamburger toppings, Canada didn’t invent that.
How does one not eat burgers with mayo? It’s the best part
While I can go both ways for the mayo on the burger debate, not often you hear that it’s the best part.
A&W is where I go for the mayo on burger goodness. Even the mozza sauce is just thousand island with more mayo essentially.
Pineapple on pizza is such a forced debate, nobody normal sincerely cares that much, and anyone who does is either pretending or has a toddler-level approach to food. The “authentic Italian” gatekeeping is also incredibly stupid and ironic, given Italy’s history of appropriating other culture’s foods then claiming they are the arbiters of the most “authentic” version of said food.
My fav dolce pizzas to make are cinnamon date puree with pecans and brown sugar sprinkled over top, or a sliced pear/apple with brie and a Balsamic drizzle.
Any contrarian food opinions are forced debate, and just plain stupid. Arguing that “pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza” is the logical equivalent to arguing “no one’s favorite color should be red”.
The hilarious pizza regulatory body in Italy says it’s not real pizza though!
This is maybe a hot take but some of the most authentically branded and certified pizza in Italy happened to also be some of the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten, and the best pizza I had in Italy was no better than a good quality pizza anywhere else. I mean they’re damn good pizzas, but turns out baking a circle of dough with tomato sauce and cheese on it is a pretty basic thing to do well. And yeah I know there’s complexity in all of this but it’s not materially complex. Use the proper flour and hydration, knead it well, let it cold ferment for a day, shape it properly. Oh you didn’t use the Roma tomatoes from Mt Vesuvius? Sorry not real pizza.
Also the demand for authentic Italian pizzas from foodies in North America has created some of the worst pizza abominations, because the skill required to shape a ball of dough by hand isn’t widely present in the service industry workforce. Like yeah when the right person is in it’s great, but even at these upper range places tough gummy dough inconsistently shaped is common. “Never frozen though so it’s real!” Nobody can taste the difference between frozen dough that’s been thawed, let to rise, and baked, if anything the longer ferment time makes it taste better.
If you can’t tell I detest the ironic authenticity trend in these heavily market-researched upper range investment restaurants right now. That’s not even to say the notion of authentic food is bullshit, but it seems like a lot of these type of places are more focused on creating a commodified form of what people think authentic food is, than actually making good food. Unfortunately this trend has plagued the humble pizza. I think the way to judge if a pizza is “real” is if you can consume it while walking down a street having a conversation, that’s real pizza.
What all of this effort should really go to… Italy should invalidate the Italian ancestry of anyone involved with calling Chicago deep dish “pizza.” That shit is a casserole, delicious as it may be. NOT PIZZA
Ok, but raisins in Mac and cheese is a fucking affront to humanity.
I dunno cause dried fruits are pretty normally served with cheese, and if the starch was a baguette or cracker instead of pasta it would be considered almost boring. People add ketchup to mac’n’cheese which I think is gross, but to me that’s a stronger and sweeter taste than rasins.
