I was on board with pineapple in some scenarios. Carl's Jr does a teriyaki burger with pineapple that's alright.

But beets? Apparently even the food is trying to kill you down under.

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

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.

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

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.

Meh. I'd try it but I don't think I would especially enjoy it over any other burger. But I won't judge anyone who likes it.

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.

This has only just occurred to me, and I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet its really good on a hot dog.

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.

Teriyaki burgers with pineapple is one of my absolute favorite burgers

There is only one place pineapple belongs ...

In HELL.

Grilled pineapple is preety good on any meat.

Wouldn't be my choice, but the thing about burgers is that you can basically do anything to them and no one will care.

Something about pizza is sacred; people get very defensive about regional varieties and makeup. Burgers are profane in comparison. I'm sure there's a line to be drawn at some point for what a "wrong" burger is, but it's a pretty far and blurry line.

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.

Why can’t we just let people eat what they want and how they want? We have bigger things to worry about…like fascists in the White House. Or war between Israel and Iran. Or people with a foot fetish.

Definitely not, generally mixing intense sweet and meat is not for me.

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

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.

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

The juiciness of burgers & pineapples allow for better texture/mixture & flavour distribution/experience imho compared to pizzas that are usually relatively drier.

Same for various cuts of apples.

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.

In the UK I'd say it's rare. Only a select few restaurants put pineapple slices in a burger, and they are mostly homegrown family-run businesses and, rarely, chains like Beefeater.

I'd love to try one. Here the standard quality burger is (bottom to top): bun, lettuce, tomato, meat, onion, bacon if any, pickled gherkin slices, sauce, cheese slice. If that sounds bland by comparison it's because this is England.

The fancy ones can have egg, hash brown, chilli peppers and/or mushrooms, but I've not yet seen beetroot in a burger

What's the debate? Whether it tastes nice or not? 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... 🙄🤷

Whatever you want on food belongs on food!
