Grilled pineapple is so freaking good on a burger, especially if you use sweet chili for the sauce instead of ketchup/mustard/mayo.

Who cares. Eat what you like. If it’s a pineapple burger, put it in… And let people eat what they want and like, as long as it is not harming others.

American here, living in the Seattle area. I have never had pineapple on pizza. I like it on pizza, but only if combined with other toppings that are spicy and salty. I would try it on a burger, but I already have issue with burgers being too fucking tall (ridiculous and pretentious) and melting from too much grease, so adding more toppings that are liquid prone seems, logistically, the wrong direction. But as always, I am always happy to be proven wrong.

it’s pretty damn good on both and if you don’t think so you’re a baby 🍼🐥

I love pineapple on both pizza and burgers. The flavor and bite quality is very appealing on a hot, meaty piece of food. Even better if the burger has soy sauce on it. The contrast brings out the best in both flavors.

I think that people should be allowed to like what they like and there’s no debate. And anyone that wants to debate someone else’s tastes can fuck off.

Enjoy a burger how you want, or not, I could hardly care any less as long as you’re not hurting anybody with your lifestyle choice.

Personally, I just don’t like cooked pineapple very much. It’s a pale imitation of fresh in both taste and texture. Pure disappointment, and I’ve got enough disappointment in my life already, don’t need anymore on my pizza or burger or tacos or spaghetti or upside down cake or colada.

Whether it’s a roast pig, or a burger, or a pizza, there’s a reason pineapple is always brought up.

Controversial or not, the concept of something being both savory and sweet at the same time is popular (and frankly…delicious) Heck, it’s the whole reason Chocolate Covered Peanuts exist.

Pineapple is easily the best for that kind of combination. Apple comes in a close second (hence having an apple butter pork tenderloin, or apple sauce with pork chops, etc…

Why pineapple gets singled out and derided over every other fruit that does the same thing is just weird.

They’re pretty good, they definitely improve an otherwise pretty average burger. I’ve rarely had them on actual good burgers but on those occasions they were also good, but I think the trouble is that in that context it’s kind of a distraction and just a bit too much added water weight if it’s an otherwise nice hefty and generous burger. They definitely need to be cooked themselves a bit to caramelise them though otherwise not really worth bothering with.

Depends on the burger but I usually dig the pineapple, always hate the beetroot though

A friend of mine turned me on to pineapple and peanut butter on my burger. It is weirdly amazing.

Did this once for some friends come over for a cook out. Everybody loved them.

Just so long as you wash it down with an avocado smoothie.

Condensing a rant I had on another comm with this question here: fruit belongs with meat. fullstop. Idk why we’re still having this discussion when medieval peasants were able to figure it out in like the 12th century.

I haven’t tried pineapple on a burger, but I wouldn’t rule it out. I think Ray Kroc wanted to introduce something called the “Hula Burger” at McDonalds.
