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.

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.

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?

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

Pasta is egg and flour. Cake is egg and flour. Society has decided that egg and flour has to be maked in a particular shape and cooked in a particular way to have strawberries with it.

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.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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.
