For many years the Hawaiian pizza (which ironically originated in Canada) has been a staple of certain pizzerias, yet the concept of it can lead to some humorous revulsion. You see, the Hawaiian hosts pineapple, which as you know is a sweet citrus fruit. Does sweet citrus fruit have any place on a savoury dish, sitting alongside melted cheese, and sometimes ham and bacon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the concept initially seeming unpleasant, it all comes down to your personal flavour mileage. I for one actually don&#8217;t mind pineapple on pizza. Sure it could be seen as a little unusual, but there are plenty of other marriages between savoury and sweet. Candied bacon, for example. A lot of Chinese food has sweet and sour elements. Sweet chilli sauces and dips are very popular too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This notion even gets flipped around. Chocolate needs no introduction as a sweet food item, yet in recent years it&#8217;s been combined with chilli, which is a combination I do not care for! Coffee and chocolate are also said to go together, though again, I am not fond of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What about you? Pineapple on pizza, sweet combined with savoury? Where do you draw the line?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/meerkatmusings.co.uk\/?page_id=355\">Back to The Meerkat Q&amp;A<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time for a surprisingly divisive question.
