Ham and pineapple

[Coatigan]

The pairing of salty pork with sweet fruit has existed since the 2nd century AD for the very simple reason that it's delicious as fuck.

Prosciutto and melon, figs and parma ham, Orange glazed ham, caramelised onions and hotdogs, gammon and pineapple....

And irn bru square sausage.

Love all of the above. Not pineapple (possibly melon too, not tried) on pizza though for whatever reason.

Pineapple and pork as a combination supposedly goes right back to the 15th century Spanish explorers and the initial colonisation of South America, when they brought pigs/pork with them to new parts of the world. Only to discover that the meat couldnt handle the temperatures, and a way to stop it going off was to use the acidity of the pineapple to extend its use days.

Putting it on a pizza is attributed to a Canadian in 1962, and remains one of the most unpopular combinations according to various surveys. something like over 80% of those that don't like it on pizza, claim they like the fruit.

And 80% of those just say they don’t like it because they think it makes them sound cool.

I feel passionately about this haha. Save the pineapple

Do you not need to be in the minority to sound cool?

I like a pineapple fritter, me. Wonder if anyone has wrapped it in ham before deep-frying it before?



Fast forward 20 years when on a forum thread somewhere someone is attributing the creation of a divisive chippy regular offering to BM.
