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 like pineapple pizza (as long as the pineapple pieces aren't too big), but that burger sounds annoying. Not saying the flavors don't combine well, but the amount of toppings makes it sound way too tall unless the slices are razor thin.

No

Judging people on the kind of food they like is literally the dumbest shit ever. You're not the one eating it so why do you care?

Belongs? How about we let people eat whatever the hell they want? Who cares?

I like pineapple on its own. I'm just not a big fan of pineapple on things. I don't need everything I eat to be savory and sweet.

Meh. I'd try it but I don't think I would especially enjoy it over any other burger. But I won't judge anyone who likes it.

This has only just occurred to me, and I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet its really good on a hot dog.

Aloha Burger! It’s good.

The juiciness of burgers & pineapples allow for better texture/mixture & flavour distribution/experience imho compared to pizzas that are usually relatively drier.

Same for various cuts of apples.

What's the debate? Whether it tastes nice or not? Seeing the popularity of both pineapple pizza and pineapple/cheese and honey burgers (at least in Europe), I guess it's tasty enough for a bunch of people.

I swear, some people will take a stand for anything besides important things, lol. God? Morals? Imperialism? Nah, I'm gonna spend my limited time and even more limited brainpower on cuisine debates... 🙄🤷

In the UK I'd say it's rare. Only a select few restaurants put pineapple slices in a burger, and they are mostly homegrown family-run businesses and, rarely, chains like Beefeater.

I'd love to try one. Here the standard quality burger is (bottom to top): bun, lettuce, tomato, meat, onion, bacon if any, pickled gherkin slices, sauce, cheese slice. If that sounds bland by comparison it's because this is England.

The fancy ones can have egg, hash brown, chilli peppers and/or mushrooms, but I've not yet seen beetroot in a burger

Funnily enough, I had a burger with pineapple on it when I was in Australia. It was great, I really liked the juiciness and taste the pineapple brought to the burger.

Granted, it was at an Oporto (which is kinda like upscale McDonald's with a Portuguese theme to it for the uninitiated), but it was pretty good nonetheless; I'd have it again.

I was on board with pineapple in some scenarios. Carl's Jr does a teriyaki burger with pineapple that's alright.

But beets? Apparently even the food is trying to kill you down under.

Islands Hawaiian burger

Grilled pineapple or pineapple tossed in a crawfish boil is excellent and would be a great burger addition. But it can’t just be a slice of pineapple. Too sweet. It would mess up the cheese flavor. You need to get rid of some of the sugar.

Yes but I'm also Australian so that's normal

Pineapple. It's not just for pizza anymore.

Cake, pizza, chocolate, burgers, ice cream, candy, hot chocolate, soda, pancakes, omelets, chicken, s'mores, salads, peanut butter, rice, sandwiches, and many more things I can't think of right now.

There is only one place pineapple belongs ...

In HELL.

Its a burger.

On a bun.

Add ketchup if you like.

I don't care.

I've never had it but I'd imagine it'd be good

How's the egg cooked on that thing?

Definitely not, generally mixing intense sweet and meat is not for me.
