Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Bedrockgames]

As always, I strongly suspect some of you with the really strong opinions on what goes on a pizza and how it's served haven't actually had occasion to eat it in years, maybe decades.

I can definitely cop to this as I can't get pizza any longer. Technically I can have a gluten free pizza but I have yet to have one that tastes like the real thing. However I have found my passion for pizza got stronger the longer I have been without

No, GF pizzas never taste like glutinous ones. They can be pretty tasty, though. I've even had a good cauliflower crust one.

I read bedrockgame's post as being a metaphor, personally.

I am aware, some people have been using it as a metaphor. But as I have said through the whole discussion, I am literally just weighing in on the discussions about food (partly as a protest against food proxy wars!)

Yes, I have been literally talking about pineapple on pizza.

My experience has been some GF pizza will almost taste okay...for a while....then you start noticing things. I remember there was a great gluten free pizza called against the grain. Really good pesto pizza (and their pepperoni was decent). But after about my fifth one, I noticed the thing that made the pizza work, was a thin gelatinous layer of goo in the center and it completely turned me off. I have had better ones at restaurants though. Still it is not the same.

It isn't. I honestly don't even know what you guys are using pizza and pineapple as metaphors for (I've genuinely been perplexed by it and voiced that confusion several times in the thread)

No idea. Mostly I've picked up that it was mostly cheese pizza in the 70s, people started to add a bunch of toppings in the '80s and '90s, and then people started deconstructing the idea of pizza when the Brick Oven opened at the turn of the century.

Yeap, and the chef had all the say in 70's. Things loosened up and the customer had more feedback in the 80's and 90's. Now its pretty much accepted that the customers has significant say in pineapple pizza and its construction.

As a note that feels similar but is actually more different than you might initially think... It is painfully obvious how some of the most vocal voices about the ingredients in a pizza have never actually cooked one. Yeah I get that your experience eating them has value (and you never, ever stop offering you advice as a food critic). But, well, have you ever seen The Menu? Sometimes it feels like a like a room full of Nicolas Hoults.

Oh, there is a whole sub-community of Nicolas Hoults here, to be sure.

Chef: "What are you hungry for?"
Guest: "What do you have?"
Chef: "Everything."
Guest: "You know what I'd really like?"
Chef:" Tell me."
Guest: "A cheeseburger."
