    At least it’s not sweet. What triggers me (as an Italian) is the idea of a sweet/sugary topping on an otherwise salty dish.

      Have you ever had prosciutto with melon? (Prosciutto e Melone: An extremely common Italian dish of salty ham with sweet fruit)

      You might be Italian. Which is irrelevant. But you are also an idiot. I’m also Italian. Doesn’t make me an authority on any food item. Being a smug purist about food is so embarrassing. I hate when my Italian family acts like bullies about what’s proper regarding food.

      My grandpa use to say dumb Italian bullshit rules about food like you. He’d say “dairy and seafood can never go together.” Well he sure liked lox on bagels.

      This shit needs to stop. You dopey boomers are cringe. You need to go.

      Now excuse me while I got make a cappuccino for dessert after dinner with my Lelit GiuliettaX, shitting on you divas who believe in old timey wives tales.

      You ancient fucks: “Dairy after dinner is bad for digestion”

      Proceeds to eat gelato

      You make no sense.

        I said “it’s a matter of personal taste” what made you think I presume to be authoritative? Stiamo calmini.

          as an Italian

          Is a clear example of the appeal to authority fallacy.

          I am calm. Just tired of persistent food bullies in my culture. Maybe that exhaustion was misdirected.

          Have a good day.

            You are right though: my comment was based on the assumption that, when talking about a traditional dish of a given culture and only limited to that topic, the opinion of someone belonging to that culture is more authoritative than the one of someone else who do not belong to that culture. Which is not true. Even if that opinion is “do whatever you like” 🤣

      When you put it like that, I’m surprised nobody complains about pizzas with (sweet) BBQ sauce

        thats because secretly nobody whos opinion is worth listening to cares

        if you care about this stuff you’re opinion is instantly less valued to me. it just shows one cannot fathom the world not revolving around them and the foods they’ll bandwagon. and i dont even like pineapple on pizza but im not a big pineapple guy really.

      I see what you’re saying but pineapple isn’t that sweet. There’s many sweet toppings that would be way worse than pineapple.

        Ahaha true… Or, say, ketchup is not sweet but it makes someone’s blood stir.

            The only one that repels me is the one with chips and Nutella. But it’s matter of personal taste. Tomatoes are fruits technically speaking but they’re not sweet. I’m Italy some restaurants offer pizzas with thin slices of apple, balsamic vinegar, nuts and some strongly flavoured cheese (like Gorgonzola) where the contrast between sweet, sour and salty is what they say makes it special.

      yeah I am also italian and I have to say that pineapple pizza doesn’t taste bad, just very unpizzalike.

    In Dutch this works because we call pinecones ‘dennenappels’ which literally translates to pineapple. We call pineapple “ananas”.
