Discussion: After Causing An Uproar, Iceland's President Says He Would Not Ban Pineapple Pizza

Honestly, I wish this country’s problems were as ridiculous as Iceland’s right now. I’d trade problems with Iceland in a heartbeat if I thought pineapple was the biggest outrage a country could have. Seriously, it sounds so quaint next to mass deportations and a religious test on people entering the country.

Btw, I’m not a big fan of pineapple on pizza either…but my son loves it and swears by it. So really, FFS…to each their own.

Now if Mr. Johannesson had said that about anchovies* there would be a problem.

*speaking as one of exactly 42 people in the northern hemisphere that loves them salty little fishies.

Am also one of those 42. It got so bad with the family that I kept a glass jar of anchovies in the fridge. My sons would actually turn away if I bit into a slice with anchovies in front of them.

It is too bad that the President of Iceland cannot ban pineapple on pizzas. It is for his people’s own good.

Don’t back down! This man ought to be nominated for a Nobel Prize.

Hardly. All right thinking people like anchovies on pizza. What’s most distressing is how difficult it has become to find a restaurant that makes a proper Caesar salad, most omitting the anchovies.

Can I substitute ‘correct’ for ‘right?’

If you must.

“I must, I must.”

Nice Blazing Saddles reference.

I do what I can. In these highly depressing days it behooves all of us to inject some funny into every day.

In this case, no.

OK. Take care & be well.

As long as I get my pineapple pizza, all will be well. I was introduced to the awesomeness that is the ham and pineapple pizza in Australia in 1981 while in the Navy, and will NOT give it up.

1981? In Australia? Where in the U.S. did you grow-up that you had not encountered the abomination that is the “Hawaiian Supreme” before 1981? Shakeys and Pizza Hut have been selling some variation of this since the 1960s.

You couldn’t pay me to eat at Shakey’s or Pizza Hut.
