Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

It's because Spanish explorers thought that they looked like pine cones, so they called it "pina." Several hundred years pass and some maniac put it on a pizza. It's called evolution, and with Canadian bacon it is delicious.

Are you talking about ananas?

I prefer the "hot Hawaiian" with ham, pineapple, and jalapenos. Sometimes pepperoni as well. Yummy.

Intelligence is "knowing that tomato is a fruit"

Wisdom is "knowing not to put tomato in a fruit salad"

Yes, tomato is a "fruit" in the biological sense. But so are cucumbers, squash, zucchini, and many other savory plants. Fruit in the context of a kitchen, however, tends to be on the sweeter side.

Its because 'fruit' and 'vegetable', in their culinary context, don't really actually mean anything.

... Also, just wanna let people know that in the midwest, pickles on pizza are not that uncommon.

…can't say I've ever run into that and I'm a Midwesterner; where are you getting pickles on your pizza‽

... theres more than one pizzeria here in Sioux Falls that specifically offers a special that includes pickles.

Other languages are smarter about this, e.g. German differentiates "Früchte" (fruit in a general sense, including botanical), "Obst" (sweet/sour/non-savory fruit in a culinary sense) and "Gemüse" (savory fruit, salad, roots etc. in a culinary sense).

That said, I like pineapple pizza.

Cos Tomatoes aren't sweet

If fruit on pizza, why not raisins, grapefruit, and lychee?

raisins

Texture. No.

grapefruit

Doesn't cook well.

lychee

Racism. Only racism.
