I’m Australian, and burger with the lot where I come from involves the following Bun Bacon Egg Lettuce Tomato Pineapple Beetroot Meat Onion Sauce maybe. That’s the minimum you expect anyway
Pineapples are disgusting so I’d say they belong in the trash.
If someone enjoys something I say let them enjoy it. Seems like an interesting combination but not something I need to go out and try immediately.
I don’t like “belong” here. Pineapple is food. People like it, or like it in certain combinations, or they don’t. Highly concentrated uranium or arsenic really don’t belong in food. Pineapple is not the same as uranium.
If you’ve ever been a student or cash strapped you’ve eaten various uncommon combinations of food. You didn’t care what belonged together or not. And neither should anyone care in this regard. Outside of poison and allergies, we don’t need to be paternalistic about telling people what to eat or not. People who get internet mad about pineapple on pizza need to reevaluate their life choices.
Yeah, my gravy and rice idea as a student did not pan out well
I’m just saying if I ordered a burger with the lot it’s not complete without the pineapple.
Whatever you want on food belongs on food!
I have devoted my life to fighting pineapple on pizza. If what you say is true my life is meaningless.
Your life up until now is meaningless. You can be born again.
Try Canadian bacon, pineapple, pickled jalapeños, and goat cheese on a pizza and you’ll change your mind
Life’s too short to fight about arbitrary rules of food combinations my dude. Za and let za I always say.
The only time I’ve ever had it was at a Disneyland resort, and that was not at all a good burger. I assume it would be nice on a higher quality burger.
Islands Hawaiian burger
So long as it is not oven baked.
My opposition to pineapple pizza has always hinged on the fact that the pineapple is always hard or the Pizza is always soggy.
Pineapple is good, Pizza is good. They need to be cooked separate to be good together.
I have personally never experienced this. The pizza around here is perfectly well balanced with pineapple too. No sogginess, and the pineapple is amazingly juicy still, not dry or hard.
You might have encountered someone using the usually tossed inner parts of a pineapple, that are more fibrous? I bake a lot of homemade pizzas and even I have never managed to dry out the pineapple in the short time the pizza visits the oven
Pineapple. It’s not just for pizza anymore.
Cake, pizza, chocolate, burgers, ice cream, candy, hot chocolate, soda, pancakes, omelets, chicken, s’mores, salads, peanut butter, rice, sandwiches, and many more things I can’t think of right now.
You just reminded me that pineapple upside-down cakes were a common thing in the 80’s. At least where I was. What happened to those?
My mum used to make pineapple cheese cake, they were no good. Nice creamy cheese cake then crunch, a random surprising chunk of pineapple
Pineapple belongs on everything you like it on. No matter what others say. Life’s too short to rob yourself of things food you like, simply because other people think so.
Totally agree.
The only rule I have in the kitchen is that there are no rules. Rules on what is allowed to mix in cooking are stupid.
You like pasta with boiled eggs and Nutella? You do you!Taste is 100% subjective.
I’ve tried it on burger a few times and it just doesn’t fit me well, but on I always use it on pepperoni pizza and in my tacos.
That or mango.pasta with boiled eggs
literally carbonara though
pasta with boiled eggs
literally carbonara though
I mean, boiled eggs conjures up hard boiled eggs to me, not the emulsified sauce you get in a carbonara. Drastic difference in texture
.
I agree in principle, but there are rules in a kitchen. Mostly it’s for safety though, not for flavor
Like never have two carbs in the one meal.
My mother inlaw stands by that so hard amd yet I’ll have mashed potatoes and pasta together haha
Is it even a works burger without pineapple???
I like pineapple on its own. I’m just not a big fan of pineapple on things. I don’t need everything I eat to be savory and sweet.
How’s the egg cooked on that thing?
Just fried, some like it runny others cooked through.
Typically just fried on the grill with the patty, bacon, and onion.
Judging people on the kind of food they like is literally the dumbest shit ever. You’re not the one eating it so why do you care?
“My life is very meaningless and aimless but I have the human desire to take stands and share my mind but I’ve never engaged with any topic deeply or seriously enough for it so I’m gonna talk about pineapple burgers.”
I’m sorry, I asked an opinion. Just like asking what did you think of Harry potter or lotr. Shit didn’t realise we can only talk about absolutely serious things.
Do you think we have free will?
Apologies, I should have made it more clear that I was talking in general and not directed at you or this post specifically.
All good mate
Funnily enough, I had a burger with pineapple on it when I was in Australia. It was great, I really liked the juiciness and taste the pineapple brought to the burger.
Granted, it was at an Oporto (which is kinda like upscale McDonald’s with a Portuguese theme to it for the uninitiated), but it was pretty good nonetheless; I’d have it again.
What’s the debate? Whether it tastes nice or not? Seeing the popularity of both pineapple pizza and pineapple/cheese and honey burgers (at least in Europe), I guess it’s tasty enough for a bunch of people.
I swear, some people will take a stand for anything besides important things, lol. God? Morals? Imperialism? Nah, I’m gonna spend my limited time and even more limited brainpower on cuisine debates… 🙄🤷
I’m not debating it just curious if it’s a thing where others are from
