    I really can’t stand traditionalists. You don’t want pineapple on pizza? Don’t have it. And don’t worry about what other people like to eat.

    I was born in Central America and growing up eating pupusas (which are amazing) we used to have bean, cheese and pork. Any time I would ask “why can’t pupusas have chicken or fish?” The answer would be “cause that’s not traditional”. Now the new generation makes them with fish, shrimp, chicken, veggies, etc. And it’s so yummy. Keep your traditions and classic recipes, but don’t try to stifle my culinary creativity cause of your stupid hangups

      How have I never thought of a cornmeal meat pie?

      My wife is going to hate me because I’m about to blow up our kitchen again.

      Dude, pupusas are soooooo good.

      I’m Canadian and didn’t get to try them until I was in my 20s thanks to my friend.

    Italians need to realize that they don’t own the concept of putting toppings on a round piece of bread. And tomatoes aren’t even native to Italy so that throws a wrench into their ability to complain.

          Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.

            I don’t particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.

            That’s interesting.

            It’s like how peanuts are legumes and not nuts. But I feel like that makes sense because of the pods.

    put literally anything on a pizza and watch me continue to live my life unencumbered. Italians are too wrapped up in a national identity of tut-tutting other countries that change their precious recipes.

      There are tons of recipes for fruit pierogi if you google em, they usually include the recipe for the pasta as well. They’re little dumplings, basically ravioli. My fiance is polish and I make them for him on occasion with twarog and blueberries, (a simple milk cheese that’s really easy to make -you can skip the cheese and serve them with cream which is great too) boil them, then fry them in butter and sprinkle them with powdered sugar.

    Hawaiian pizza was invented by a Greek man running an Italian pizzeria in Toronto inspired by the sweet and sour flavors of Chinese cuisine

    Fruit goes on cooked flour.

    It’s been like that for centuries.

    Cake. Danish. Fruitcake. Pizza. Filled doughnuts. Kolacky. Raisin bread. Banana bread…
