So, a Greek guy in Canada made an Italian staple into something that he thought would represent a Hawaiian cuisine (even though it was just the can, many people naively believe it truly is a Hawaiian dish)

Once someone told me they thought that’s how they ate their pizza over there. Lol.

Nevertheless, if I were in Canada at that time, I would have visited his restaurant and ordered one of the originals. It’s not the best pizza topping but it is also not the worst. (I hate anchovies, fish of any kind or mushrooms on my pizza. Mushrooms are good in other dishes.)

    I ordered pineapple on pizza as a joke at a party. My buddy said to order 10 pizzas for the party and only gave me a list of 7 toppings. The other three he probably assumed would just be plain. Wrong. Pineapple! I had never tried it before that or after. It was a prank that went wrong though because we liked it a bit more than we should have. I ended up eating a whole pizza. he had his own and the other was eaten by some of the other guests. He now likes it and gets it a lot. Never had the actual Hawaiian with ham. I don’t eat ham, but I eat other pork products like bacon and pepperoni.

      I’m kind of curious about the logic behind eating pepperoni (super processed pork) but not eating ham (unprocessed pork)…

        I am not picky, I would still eat it but I never order it or purposely get it. It is a taste thing. It has nothing to do with health or any aversion to pork. Ham isn’t as appealing but here is a kicker: I like Canadian Bacon which is closer to straight up Easter ham than pepperoni. Also pepperoni doesn’t even taste like other pork products except salami. I used to frequent capicola. Bacon is the same way, but I have now heard of beef bacon I am hoping to try.
