I spent some time in Poland. I ate so much. I miss Krakow.
Combining sweet and savory food to piss people off an age old tradition.
one of the best condiments ive ever had was a jar of homemade pickled strawberries. the one who made it refuses to give up the recipe.
I despise this traditional “that doesn’t go on that dish” bullshit.
It was that way with the food where I’m from and well and now the new generation is doing whatever they want with those traditional recipes and making them modern and it’s amazing. If you don’t like pineapple on your pizza don’t have it. But shut the fuck up with your “that’s not a pizza”. You sound like my great grandma
Edit: I’m from El Salvador and people used to freak out if you suggested that pupusas should have more variety than just pork, cheese and beans. They’d yell at you that it wasn’t traditional. Now the young generation is making pupusas with chicken, fish, shrimp, sweet potato, zucchini, and so on, and it’s amazing!
the worst is when people are like this for a dish that was invented as a way to use the shitty limited ingredients of the area because everyone was poor and that’s all they had back then. That’s not even tradition. Or slightly less annoying is when people try your traditional dish from the country your family comes from and say its not correct in some way, but they are from one of the 6 neighboring countries with pretty much the same food but the name is spelled slightly different and have regional plants as seasoning instead.
That’s not even tradition.
Ehhhh, you might not like most traditions then.
I don’t really see being poor as a tradition. I’ve seen enough people present racism as a tradititon and I don’t like that either. My dad has been facebook’d and keeps wanting to do ancient medicines because “the government took them away from us”, and has asked where to get some definitely dangerous substances. There are indeed a lot of things people call tradition that I don’t like.
I don’t think changing a couple ingredients breaks tradition when most old recipes were just throwing whatever we had together and trying to make it at least minimally enjoyable for bonus points. I guess it’s different for wealthy people in the past much like it is now, but if it could be improved cheaply or for free when it was new either due to ingredients or skills and knowledge, everyone would have done it. Some things were probably also just good enough that nobody bothered changing it, but now most people are conditioned to really high sugar and salt or just stronger flavour in general.
Actually one of my time travel fantasy wishes is to see people in the last eat the modern versions of their favourite food. I’d feel bad about shocking their systems with large doses (to them) of microplastics, pesticides, and who knows what else though.
I don’t think its the same than combining a sweet fruit with tomato sauce and cheese.
Pasta by itself is basically neutral in taste. You can easily make them into a sweet dish. I sometimes like to eat them with applesauce.
Just to clarify, I wouldn’t order or make pizza with pineapple for myself, but I don’t think it’s that big of a deal people sometimes make it.
Just eat what you like and don’t force your taste on others.
Yeah I once lived with a family in Eastern Europe who would sometimes make dessert ravioli by filling it with fruit and sugar and dusting it with powdered sugar. It was obviously a very different dish than savory pasta but really good actually.
I will go out on a limb here and guess those were not ravioli and some form of pelmeni instead? There are types of them that are usually eaten with sour cream and jam. But the dough used is quite different from the ravioli one, and the filling is cheese (not meat or ricotta/spinach).
Was that the case?
Actually no! But I think they were inspired by pelmeni, but this was ravioli dough. It was in Moldova though, and much of the family had moved to Italy for temporary work. I’m guessing it was a fusion cooking experiment and turned out great and they kept doing it. It started spreading through the town lol. But hey, if it’s good it’s good.
See, the problem is that pizza often gets shared, and these barbarians will order it with pineapple physically on it, like put right on a perfectly good ham pizza, so then you have to pull the pineapple off, let the dog lick the pineapple juice from the pineapple holes, and then you can eat it, but you still can taste the lingering traces of a fruit that should, by all the laws of man and god, be used exclusively in deserts.
It’s an affront against nature and pizza.
Downvote away, but you know deep in your heart of hearts that I’m right.
Dude. Your problem is not the pineapple, but that you are apparently surrounded by inconsiderate people.
If you get pizza or any food to share, you should make sure you choose a topping everyone is okay with. If necessary make it half pineapple half pepperoni or whatever.
If you order for a group of people and choose something that is controversial without checking back, you’re an asshole.
Pasta by itself is basically neutral in taste. You can easily make them into a sweet dish. I sometimes like to eat them with applesauce.
Please explain yourself. You can’t just say this like it’s normal and morally/ethically acceptable.
What is there to explain? If you don’t add any savory ingredients to pasta it is not salty or savory in taste.
Same as you can prepare rice savory or sweet as rice pudding or something.
You do know “pasta” just means the noodle, right? It’s still pasta if you don’t add anything?
There are lots of sweet pasta dishes in the world like sweet kugel or milk noodles.
I just add (cold) applesauce onto (warm) noodles and eat it. If I’m fancy, I make applesauce from fresh apples.
Also, look up portugese Aletria. That’s angle hair pasta as it’s best.
