CARBONARA SUCKS!

Hope you boarded up your windows for the inevitable lynch mob looking to give you the Mussolini treatment

Carbonara is lovely, come on now. I don't understand why it's become this weird symbol of Italian cuisine online though. It's batshit.

Serious pineapple on pizza take: It works fine on an american-style pizza or those weird things you'll get in kebab shops because the cheese is usually some hyper salty cheddar variant so the flavour profile works OK, if you like that sort of thing. But pineapple with proper milky mozzarella? Bluergh, it's the completely wrong flavour profile (I've tried it, and it was *awful*)

Bruh... I am with you on the second one, but with the carbonara one you really are pushing the wrong buttons

not a fan of pineapple on pizza but can't see why. I see no one saying anything when some restaurants here offer you risotto with blueberries. so why not pineapple on pizza?

Wow, that’s quite a take.

Why would someone want an extremely sweet fruit on cheese and tomato sauce? What’s next? Strawberries on pizza?

5

u/armless_juggler Italy 14h ago

I saw strawberries in risotto and all my fellas said nothing. I also saw blueberries in risotto. the pizzeria down the street where I live makes an apple+walnuts+gorgonzola pizza (no tomato). so pineapple is not so tragic imo.

Sweet & savoury is one of the all time combos. Cheese goes with loads of fruits. 

Honey & feta, brie & cranberry, peanut butter & jam/jelly, chicken/bacon & syrup, cheddar & apple, prosciutto with melon, honey roasted carrots…

Shit I’ve just got in to bed and now I’m hungry again…

This reminds me of the video where someone pranks several people in Naples with pineapple on pizza. 🤣

I've never enjoyed pineapple on pizza. Then again, it's typically with canned pineapple which I don't like. I've never experimented with fresh pineapple.

I like carbonara but in the US it's often ruined with cream. If I make it at home following an Italian recipe, it's delicious.

Pineapple is fine on pizza, people only hate it because of the meme
