I've had pickle pizzas, and honestly they're great. They work for a similar reason pineapple does. The sour and sweet compliments the salty fatty flavors. Done correctly, these can be great. Anyone who thinks, for example, pineapple doesn't belong on pizza doesn't really understand flavor balance. It just needs to be on the right pizza with the right proportions. You're not wrong for not liking it, but you are wrong for saying it doesn't work without trying it.

I buy dried pasta in different shapes and mix them in the same container.

That's what you get for siding with Hitler!

[–] adhocfungus@midwest.social 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For a minute I thought you meant seasonal shapes, like mixing boxes of Paw Patrol mac with Thanksgiving turkey-shaped pasta.

Pancakes are mostly wheat flour and egg.

Pasta is mostly wheat flour and egg.

Pancakes and strawberries? 😋

Pasta and strawberries? 🫨

Chaos kitchen is what's up. Good things together however you want.

Apricot jam, chilli powder and apple cider vinegar make a great salad dressing.

Coleslaw, Mandarin and fried onion are a great salad.

Try new things and do what makes you happy.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You're leaving out a pretty important ingredient difference between pancakes and pasta.

You don't know how I make my pasta.

Im dying at how funny this is!!

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Few years ago I had a cheeseburger with strawberries in lieu of tomatoes. It makes much more sense than you'd think once you try it.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did it have ketchup and cheese and so on?

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Queso Fresa- $11.00.

Beef, ham, cheese, strawberry, Anaheim w- sour cream, lettuce, ketchup, avocado, mayonnaise, tomato, onion, mustard, jalapeno and fries

(from their online menu)

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is....all the things.

[–] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Yeah man, it was an event of a burger.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 20 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

Reminds me of German spaghetti ice cream. Vanilla ice pressed into spaghetti strands on top of whipped cream. Pureed strawberries as the "sauce" with grated white chocolate acting as "cheese".

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Wait where could one acquire such deliciousness

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 2 days ago

Basically every ice cream parlor in Germany has it on its menu.

There's this café in Nagoya, Japan, that serves sweet spaghetti: the spaghetti are flavoured with strawberry or chocolate and then you have fruits and sauces on top. It's delicious.

A buddy of mine is currently living in Poland with his girlfriend. Some of their food is legitimately terrifying. We make fun of him all the time and tell him he's at least going to lose weight living over there

[–] Slotos@feddit.nl 16 points 3 days ago

He’ll rather gain strange kinks. Losing weight with Polish cuisine is impossible.

Tomatoes are berries. Strawberries are not berries.

Eat your pizza or pasta like you want to. Nobody sane cares. Just don't name your dish wrong. A la carbonara is not made with cream, a ragou a la bolognese is not just mince and tomato sauce and a real pizza is not that ugly frozen disk.

Mmmm... Spaghetti with cream and sugar, sprinkled with cottage chasse... My childhood delicacy!

Meanwhile in Hungary:

  • Krumplis tészta - pasta w/ crushed tatos, fried onions, bacon or kolbász and paprika
  • Káposztás tészta - cabbage pasta with sugar and black pepper sautéed in lard
  • Grízes tészta - pasta with semolina wheat (think cream of wheat), powdered sugar and peach or apricot jam
  • Túrós csusza - pasta w/ dry cottage cheese, bacon and fried onion, served with sour cream
  • Mákos tészta - poppy seed pasta, mixed with butter and sprinkled with powdered sugar

Just the tip of the ice berg.

Ive recently been to Italy. Every pizzeria had a Pizza wurstl on their menu. It was pizza with sliced up sausage and French fries. I think pineapple and ham is much better in comparison.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Pizza wurstl...pizza with sliced up sausage

That makes sense

and French fries

What the fuck

If you're not sure about this, start small. Try a spinach salad tossed with nuts like walnuts or pecans and sliced strawberries and a sweet balsamic with a little grated romano. Seriously, give it a go, it's healthy and tastes amazing.

Remember, tomato is a fruit, it's just not sweet. But we then add heaps of sugar to tomato sauce to make it sweet. Fruit like strawberry is already sweetened, it makes perfect sense on paper.

What's throwing everyone is that our first experiences with sweet fruit flavors is always candy or pastries and we have a hard time shaking that association as strictly appropriate.

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Remember, tomato is a fruit, it's just not sweet.

Shitty supermarket tomatoes aren't sweet. Homegrown tomatoes can be very sweet and very delicious.

That's not even remotely the worst way we've bastardized italian pizza.

Also, we could dive deeper and talk about italian food before tomatoes were introduced, but I don't think Americans are ready for that yet.

[–] dotslashme@infosec.pub 9 points 3 days ago (8 children)

AFAIK, there are many countries that have pizza with ingredients considered unusual outside that country. For example, in Brazil they have chocolate pizza.
