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
Pineapple belongs on everything you like it on. No matter what others say. Life’s too short to rob yourself of things food you like, simply because other people think so.
Totally agree.
The only rule I have in the kitchen is that there are no rules. Rules on what is allowed to mix in cooking are stupid.
You like pasta with boiled eggs and Nutella? You do you!Taste is 100% subjective.
I’ve tried it on burger a few times and it just doesn’t fit me well, but on I always use it on pepperoni pizza and in my tacos.
That or mango.I agree in principle, but there are rules in a kitchen. Mostly it’s for safety though, not for flavor
Hehe yeah, I thought about mentioning it when submitting but figured it wasn’t needed. Rookie mistake
Like never have two carbs in the one meal.
My mother inlaw stands by that so hard amd yet I’ll have mashed potatoes and pasta together haha
Heh, no I mean more like cook chicken all the way through, don’t cross contaminate, etc
pasta with boiled eggs
literally carbonara though
pasta with boiled eggs
literally carbonara though
I mean, boiled eggs conjures up hard boiled eggs to me, not the emulsified sauce you get in a carbonara. Drastic difference in texture
egg salad is sometimes made with pasta in it
Grilled pineapple is so freaking good on a burger, especially if you use sweet chili for the sauce instead of ketchup/mustard/mayo.
Grilled pineapple is good on its own, the burger is garnish.
I’ve never enjoyed grilled pineapple myself, which is probably why I don’t like it on pizza either.
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.
Unless you’re a cannibal, like Shia Labeouf.
Is it harming someone?
well…
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.
Pineapple is really good for sweet, salty, spicy combos. Pepperoni, pineapple, jalapeno pizza goes really hard, don’t really like pineapple on other pizzas though.
Maybe adding something spicy to this burger would be good too.
The classic pineapple and ham is really good with hot sauce on it.
Ham is something I don’t pick on a pizza but will eat if it’s the only pizza. Next time I’ll try it for sure
it’s pretty damn good on both and if you don’t think so you’re a baby 🍼🐥
Yeah, it’s a very common thing here in Northern Europe too! At least my corner of it. Even growing up in a very remote and small village in the Lappish wilderness a burger with pineapple was one of the more common ones at the local (and the only) grill-kiosk.
However, for whatever reason, pineapple in a burger seems to be almost always paired with a fried egg. I think it’s great but not really sure why exactly that’s so common a combo.
I’ve had egg and pineapple but not on the same burger. I’m really not sure how I’d like the taste but there’s something aesthetically pleasing about the egg yolk and pineapple ring fitting together.
In principal this sounds fun and rebellious, all of which I agree with, but in practice, no one has ever stopped you from doing egregious shit with the ingredients you purchase. If you care about cooking, in practice, it’s worthwhile investigating the concepts of world cuisines.
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 partly agree. I love pinapple on pizza and burgers, but only when I want the food to have that particular taste. The sweetness and sourness of pineapple is all-consuming flavor to me, and I don’t always want other flavors to be hidden behind the pineapple.
I can understand that. I think it’s best when the other flavors are also strong, but it a way that balances it out.
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.
Okay, but do you think broccoli belongs on a burger?
Ohh man, makes broccoli with paprika spread across the bun is really good
Sure. If you enjoy broccoli on a burger, who am I to say you’re enjoying it wrong?
Burgers and pizza (and omelettes) are the perfect “blank canvas” foods. You can be boring with few/no toppings, you can be traditional with the expected combinations, or you can flex your creativity with whatever else your heart comes up with.
Either way, it’s an ingredient with plenty of potential, but it needs to be countered somehow. Canadian bacon doesn’t do it for me, in pizza but pepperoni and jalapeno does! For burgers… I like the comment mentioning soy sauce, but if I had to think of something on my own… Hmmm, maybe grilled with grilled jalapeno, crispy onion, and some cream cheese? Basically a jalapeno popper burger with the pineapple shaking things up and the crispy onion adds some crunch?
Damn, now I’m hungry
I grill the jalapenos every time I make myself a burger. And almost every time I make a burger for other people too.
I’ve never done soy sauce on a burger, but with a couple other choice/complimentary ingredients it could be an insane combo.
If you wanted to do pineapple and soy sauce together, I bet that marinating the pineapple in some soy sauce (probably the low sodium kind for this one) would work great!
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.
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.
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.
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?
I’m sorry, I asked an opinion. Just like asking what did you think of Harry potter or lotr. Shit didn’t realise we can only talk about absolutely serious things.
Do you think we have free will?
Apologies, I should have made it more clear that I was talking in general and not directed at you or this post specifically.
All good mate
“My life is very meaningless and aimless but I have the human desire to take stands and share my mind but I’ve never engaged with any topic deeply or seriously enough for it so I’m gonna talk about pineapple burgers.”
What’s the debate? Whether it tastes nice or not? I guess, 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… 🙄🤷
I’m not debating it just curious if it’s a thing where others are from
