On culinary crimes

You wouldn't be assuming that everyone on Lemmy is American, would you? Because I lost my shit over that too.

Food is Anarchy dude, Live by Your Own Rules!

There are plenty of americans who feel that pineapple on pizza is a crime.

I will go on record as saying I don't give a shit if there's pineapple on my pizza. I wouldn't order it that way, but I'll enjoy a pineapple, jalapeño, ham pizza if a slice is put in front of me.

Raisins in Mac and cheese... I can imagine it's probably tasty enough, but the rubbery consistency of raisins in tandem with sticky pasta is what I find revolting

Raisins? Pff. Never heard of that. Frozen green peas though? That's where it's at for the boxed Mac and cheese.

I don't get it.

Is raisins in Mac n cheese like, a big thing in other countries and us Americans just don't get it? If so I guess more power to you, that is news to me. I'd try anything once but I don't really like raisins to begin with so it's a bit of a tough sell.

And yes, pineapple on pizza is delicious. I've seen some truly abhorrent pizza toppings from elsewhere in the world, so I don't think we have some kind of monopoly on those crimes.

I'm going to take one for the team and make this.

I also love pineapple on pizza.

You do WHAT with Mac n cheese? Nah, forget pine apple pizza, your my new enemy.

raisins wtf

I just want to confirm, that raisins do not belong anywhere! I rather have pineapples in my cheesecake.

Canadians breathing a sigh of relief when everyone blames America for pineapple on pizza instead of them.

There's a big difference.

One you're putting berries on cheese with carbs

The other you're putting berries in cheese with carbs

See the issue?

Pineapple on pizza is such a forced debate, nobody normal sincerely cares that much, and anyone who does is either pretending or has a toddler-level approach to food. The "authentic Italian" gatekeeping is also incredibly stupid and ironic, given Italy's history of appropriating other culture's foods then claiming they are the arbiters of the most "authentic" version of said food.

My fav dolce pizzas to make are cinnamon date puree with pecans and brown sugar sprinkled over top, or a sliced pear/apple with brie and a Balsamic drizzle.

I'm italian from a family so italian we're all walking stereotypes, and pinapple+black olive is my favorate pizza combination.

Straight to hell all the way to the bottom of hell with you with nothing to eat until the end of time except mac n raisins.

Not american but why would you put raisins in mac n cheese?

When you fucking what now?

I'm European and raisins in mac 'n cheese??? 🤮

🍍+🍕=Yum

I have been up and down a few posts concerning this and have yet to find (maybe i missed a couple) anyone who has tried this and reported back.

I am beginning to think that this was just some housewives joke on the internet.

"You know what, this should really rattle some budgies if i just say i add a few raisins. oooo I am such a devil" and little did she know just how well it worked.

On a basis of raisins and cheese whiz being good, I think it might have a little bit of charm.

I'm allergic to pineapple. I put habenero hot sauce on my mac. There's zero chance I'm adding raisins.

Calm down, 'Muricans. We didn't lose our shit when you replaced the Spatzen in Kässpatzen with Macaroni and the cheese in Kässpatzen with fatty, gloopy cheddar "sauce". You can bear this one.

Both sound just awful

When Americans make Mac and cheese does it usually only contain macaroni and cheese? Or do they add other things?

Here in Belgium we call it macaroni with ham and cheese because we put pieces of ham in it.

"Pizza Hawaii" . Where the fuck are you from?

Imsorrywhatnow?!

I learned a food hack where you can make your pizza on top of a pineapple so its technically not a topping.

"Americans when you deep fry butter"

I'm a dead set mac 'n cheese hater

Pineapple on pizza is just... no.

— me, an American
