Pineapple on pizza is always hotly debated, but do you think Pineapple belongs on a burger? (aussie.zone)

I'm Australian, and burger with the lot where I come from involves the following Bun Bacon Egg Lettuce Tomato Pineapple Beetroot Meat Onion Sauce maybe. That's the minimum you expect anyway

I don't like "belong" here. Pineapple is food. People like it, or like it in certain combinations, or they don't. Highly concentrated uranium or arsenic really don't belong in food. Pineapple is not the same as uranium.

If you've ever been a student or cash strapped you've eaten various uncommon combinations of food. You didn't care what belonged together or not. And neither should anyone care in this regard. Outside of poison and allergies, we don't need to be paternalistic about telling people what to eat or not. People who get internet mad about pineapple on pizza need to reevaluate their life choices.

I'm just saying if I ordered a burger with the lot it's not complete without the pineapple.

You do you et bon appetit. I'm sorry if I got hung up on that for no reason.

Yeah, my gravy and rice idea as a student did not pan out well
