CrosshairCollie Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Never. Never, ever. Never, never, never, ever put pineapple on a pizza. I don't know who told you people that this was acceptable, but NO. Just, NO. People will eat fruit on a pizza, but they won't touch anchovies. Go figure. Ham, Pineapple, and Green Peppers make an awesome pizza. I won't touch anchovies on a pizza because, well, I don't like them. Tried 'em, didn't care for 'em.

Cygnia Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore We're going to Hubert Keller's Burger Bar in St. Louis this weekend. (Though, to be fair, I've always read that Kobe beef as a burger is both a rip-off and a disservice to the beef.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Used to hate pineapple on pizza, then tried it from our regular go-to place (Vocellis) and *liked* it! Never thought I'd say that but there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast-food chains are advertising hamburgers made from sirloin. I'm sorry, but sirloin of whatever grade is wasted on a burger. It has innumerable better uses, from steaks to being used in quality stroganoff or sukiyaki. But grinding it up for a burger? that's excess.

Ian Mackinder Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore Apple & custard on a crust is just an open pie. Sounds good. Only starts to sound odd if you call it a pizza. Well, they did call it a pizza, so I guess it sounds odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand the need some people have to tell other people what they are allowed to enjoy. I love pineapple on pizza. I can't stand anchovies, on or off pizza. But I'd never tell anyone that anchovies (or for the most part anything else) should never be put on a pizza by anyone. I'll just settle for "not on any pizza I'm expected to eat/pay for". Onions, bell peppers, and a variety of other things are on that list too. So no, despite your wishes otherwise, I'll keep ordering and making pizzas with Pineapple on them.

But then, I like well-loaded pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only time that it really annoys me is at pizza by the slice places, since none of the ones I've come across out here let you customize your slices. Which means that I can't generally get ham and pineapple slices, since they make them with all of that other stuff on them. There was a great place I used to get slices at many years ago that just made cheese pizzas and then would add whatever toppings you wanted and pop the slices in the oven for a few minutes. Can't remember the name of it anymore... Oh, and I love a well-loaded pizza. Just loaded with things that I like. Which pretty much limits it to meats, mushrooms, and pineapple. Occasionally black olives. And of course my standard maxim when dealing with food always applies: If it doesn't have meat in it, it is at best a side dish. Maybe just a snack.

Cygnia Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore If I'm doing onion on a pizza, I prefer caramelized to raw (or just scallions). The "fancy" pizza place we like to go to has as their Hawaiian be pineapple, ham & regular bacon. Meanwhile, there's a nice Mexican place right across the street that has a braised pork taco with grilled pineapple. It's not bad, but I think I could improve on it at home. I just need to figure out the best way to braise pork shoulder first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrix3 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Re: Foods for those that just don't care anymore My fave pizza is currently the pepperoni smokehouse combo from Roundtable, though the italian garlic supreme is tasty, too. I like the meat loaded pizzas, but it can actually be a bit monotonous, so I prefer a few veggies in there to change things up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to figure out the best way to braise pork shoulder first. I can only eat onions that have been caramelized to the point of having no texture left, otherwise they make me physically ill. Which sucks, since I love the flavor of onion. This means I go through a lot of onion powder. Sounds like I'd like your local "fancy" pizza place...

Up to and including people wondering why it was legal to call something that had pineapple on it pizza. And hey, I have no problems with you not liking good 'za. Leaves more for me.
