Comment on fruit
NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 months agoIt’s actually not the acidity. Pineapples and several other tropical fruits have an enzyme called papain that breaks down peptide bonds in a rather unique way, to the point that the texture of the meat can become quite off-putting if the enzyme is not used properly

I wonder if those tenderizing properties are what make people swear by pineapple slices on pizza and burgers
Knowing how much Hawaiians love spam, they’re probably over the moon for accompanying elements that can compliment or add to or even concentrate those porkey and salty flavors

The ham on pizza is sweet though, imo not a good match. My preference is pineapple, pepperoni (or chicken), and jalapenos. Get spicy, sweet, and salty all on one slice, ето заебись.

What? Where? Ham isn’t supposed to be sweet.

Nah there’s ways to prepare ham to be on the sweeter side, haven’t heard of it being done that way for pizza though. Usually it’s for a deli cut or charcuterie plate.

There is a whole franchise in the US called Honey Baked Ham. Americans love their sugar.

Pepperoni pineapple pizza (PPP?) is underrated. Bonus points for mushroom and jalapeno. And maybe onion.

Pineapple-Chicken-Cheese (Gouda) makes an awesome sandwich.

My preference is pineapple, black olives, and onions.
The black olives give the same salty as meats, so it works out quite nicely. I’m not typically into spicy pizza, but onions and pineapple go nicely together when cooked, imho.
