Ham and pineapple

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.

Ham and Pineapple, Chicken and Pineapple, Tuna and Pineapple, all great toppings !
Has to be fresh Pineapple though, the ham, chicken and tuna can be really poor quality, not arsed about that ;-).
 
Marmite, Iberian ham and pineapple with nutmeg usually ends an argument in our house. Nobody ever forced ham and pineapple on anyone, not even in Guantamano Bay
