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... ππ€·
I'm not debating it just curious if it's a thing where others are from
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.
Funnily enough, I had a burger with pineapple on it when I was in Australia. It was great, I really liked the juiciness and taste the pineapple brought to the burger.
Granted, it was at an Oporto (which is kinda like upscale McDonald's with a Portuguese theme to it for the uninitiated), but it was pretty good nonetheless; I'd have it again.
A friend of mine turned me on to pineapple and peanut butter on my burger. It is weirdly amazing.
I could see that, i really enjoy peanut butter and Vegemite together on a sandwich
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
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.
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.
Colombian hot dogs have pineapple on them. They are really really good.
Islands Hawaiian burger
Grilled pineapple or pineapple tossed in a crawfish boil is excellent and would be a great burger addition. But it canβt just be a slice of pineapple. Too sweet. It would mess up the cheese flavor. You need to get rid of some of the sugar.
Yes but I'm also Australian so that's normal
Pineapple. It's not just for pizza anymore.
Cake, pizza, chocolate, burgers, ice cream, candy, hot chocolate, soda, pancakes, omelets, chicken, s'mores, salads, peanut butter, rice, sandwiches, and many more things I can't think of right now.
My mum used to make pineapple cheese cake, they were no good. Nice creamy cheese cake then crunch, a random surprising chunk of pineapple
You just reminded me that pineapple upside-down cakes were a common thing in the 80's. At least where I was. What happened to those?
No
Its a burger.
On a bun.
Add ketchup if you like.
I don't care.
I've never had it but I'd imagine it'd be good
How's the egg cooked on that thing?
Typically just fried on the grill with the patty, bacon, and onion.
Just fried, some like it runny others cooked through.
Pineapple? Donβt insult the burger like that
The only time I've ever had it was at a Disneyland resort, and that was not at all a good burger. I assume it would be nice on a higher quality burger.
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.
I think the main contention with pineapple on pizza is that pizza is often a shared meal. Burgers wouldn't be an issue there.
I do like pineapple in Asian chicken/rice dishes, but I was raised on beef burgers topped with pickle, ketchup, cheese, lettuce, tomato and bacon and that's my burger comfort zone.
