    When I make pizza later this week I’m going to try this out. TBH it looks tasty.

    I don’t judge dishes before I taste them.

    Every single “horrible” dish commented on here could be the single most delicious dish you’d have ever tasted. But you will never know because you gave it no chance.

        Surprised to see so many based comments. Now I know Lemmy is the platform for me. 😆

        My knee jerk reaction was disgust, but then I was like you know what though? If I tell my kids every other day, “you have to try it first in order to say you don’t like it”, what kind of hypocrite would I be…

        I will never try this though. There will never be an opportunity. 😄

          Thank you for being an adult and attempting to keep your values consistent. My mom would’ve just told me, “Do as I say, not as I do,” then be surprised when I didn’t respect what she said.

          It looks disgusting. I can’t imagine what this would taste like.

          But I … Have to know. I need to try this.

        I’d just finish it with strawberry sundae drizzle after you cook it. Strawberries turn into slimy slugs with heat.

        Yeah it needs something spicy and/or meaty though, like peppers or sausage or something.

      Replace the cheese with white chocolate and you have a banger dessert.

      I can see cheap store bought strawberries with savory things because they just have a bit of sweetness and sourness with little actual taste, but not actually good strawberries.

    During the pandemic, I saw a reddit post (fuck u/spez) about someone that replaced pineapple with kiwi on a Hawaiian pie. I had just bought a pizza oven and figured I’d give it a try for the memes. It wasn’t awful. No real need to do it again, but it was fine lul.

    I’ve had so much odd stuff on pizza thrown at me in Japan that I’ll try anything these days. How about dollops of potato salad randomly scattered around? Actually not too bad.

    Although the canned tuna mayo with corn didn’t look too appetizing. Not sure what Kirkland is getting up to sometimes in the Japanese market but it’s weird.

      This article was way more interesting than I expected. I particularly enjoyed the anecdote about how some guy forgot to prepare something for a potluck dinner, basically threw random stuff he had left together and someone at the dinner published the recipe in a magazine and the rest is history.

      I kinda want to try it, I’m not against the combination in theory, it’s just not really pizza anymore at that point, it just happens to be on a round flatbread.

    My family used to house-sit during the summers when I was a kid-teenager and a pizzeria near there had several pizzas with mango-chutney. They were so fucking good! Had variations with both pineapple and banana slices (and both) with curry. They sadly closed down about 15 years ago but I still make pizza at home with the same things to this day, and will never stop.

    And there’s a place close to where I live that has a pizza with goats milk mozzarella, chanterelles, walnuts and honey that’s really good (though I haven’t had it in ~10 years since I don’t consume animal products anymore).

    Strawberries, tomatoes and pineapples are all sweet/sour, with the difference being the amount of one taste over another. I think it’s within reason to try to substitute between them and check how it influences the result.

    Many times I’ve tried corn, pepper or green peas on pizza, all of them being sweet-tasting on their own so a strawberry isn’t really that far going, in my opinion.

    The only thing I’m wondering about is the texture. I don’t know if a hot (probably even soft? Dunno) strawberry would be noticeable on a pizza and if so, would it be off-putting.

      Strawberries don’t handle heat well structurally. They end up very slimy. They’re also not anywhere near as sweet on their own as pineapple is. When you blast them with heat, they get mushy and a bit more muted, pineapple keep their little juicy bursty bits.

      Finishing with concentrated strawberry syrup would be really good. probably along the lines of honey.

    I’ll have you know a place nearby did a raisin pizza in the 90s, and it was glorious.
