Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
Becuase you do not put sweet and juicy fruit on a salty delicious pizza.
Hawaiian Pizza isn't even Hawaiian: A hack up in Canada just dumped a can of processed pineapple into a pizza he was cooking one day, tossed in some ham, and then decided "hey, ham and pineapple, I'll call it Hawaiian."I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
No, just this one guy who clearly had no idea what he was doing.
Good cooking is about mixing complementary flavors, textures, and aromas together and the sweet acidic, gritty chunkiness of pineapples doesn't mixe with the salty, savory, creaminess of melted mozzarella or the spiciness of a good pizza sauce. It clashes.False Advertising: Calling it Hawaiian Pizza makes people think of Lua's on White Sand Beaches and pretty exotic women in revealing outfits swaying their arms and hips... When they should be thinking of "like continental America, but colder and sometimes speaking french."Last edited by Rater202; 2020-10-23 at 04:41 PM.

The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep.~ That's your horoscope for today.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
Look, I have no problem with people having food opinions. I have a problem with people having those opinions and presenting them as objective fact. People can have different tastes, Rater. Just because you don't like it, that's fine. But your opinions are not the end-all of food critique.
It's entirely subjective, and, frankly... just let people eat what they enjoy. As long as they aren't making you eat it, it should all be good.The stars predict tomorrow you'll wake up, do a bunch of stuff, and then go back to sleep.~ That's your horoscope for today.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
I think you are not making a fundamental distinction between "what a pizza is supposed to be" and "the very specific and narrow set of pizza that Rater enjoys".
ETA: If lots of people don't understand the difference between two words and use one word to mean another word, then the first word probably does mean the other word. That's the natural evolution of language. Word use isn't as important as being clearly understood.Last edited by Peelee; 2020-10-23 at 05:53 PM.

It's different when roughly half the population agrees with you and the thing you're saying is bad actually makes you nauseous to think about.
This is like the crab and lobster thing: Lots of people think it's good even though they're literally eating giant bugs.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
Hamburger (angus beef specifically) with swiss cheese, three pineapple rings, teriyaki sauce, and three strips of maple bacon. That is the Hawaiian Burger.
The acidic nature of the pineapple counteracts the base nature of the tomato sauce and meat on pizza, allowing for a better dining experience in my opinion.
You are correct on this point and it is actually very important to recognize that Hawaiian pizza has nothing to do with Hawaii (and pineapple has nothing to do with Hawaii either!)
It matters because Hawaiian pizza and pineapple associations with Hawaii in general related to topics that are not board safe, but are vitally important in the real world. That's as far as I can say though.
I don't know what makes the person above think pizza's have to be spicy, and um... crustaceans are DEFINITELY insects. A lobster is just a very large bug.Last edited by LaZodiac; 2020-10-23 at 05:59 PM.

Crustaceans have ten legs, whereas insects only have six (and arachnids eight)

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
Academically or colloquially?
Academically, I would google "Woodlice", look at the description which classifies them as a crustacean, which I know to be a different classification than an insect, and say no.
Colloquially, I would look at a picture of one, say "probably," then look at a picture of a lobster or crab and say "but those ain't."
Take whichever answer you prefer, really.
Great question! Absolutely nothing. And if they had more meat on them, it would probably be more common.Last edited by Peelee; 2020-10-23 at 06:07 PM.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
Right sometimes I forget that when I'm talking to you I'm talking with someone actually intelligent.
Taxonomy is a huge crapshoot a lot of the time, and from talking with people who do this sort of stuff, there really is no significant difference between insects and crustaceans. A lobster and a shrimp are just as buggy and weird as a mosquito or a cockroach, but since the big wet bugs have lots of meat on them they are considered okay to eat and the small dry bugs are gross.
I actually have to drop this conversation now because writing out that sentence almost made me throw up.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
Would you eat peanut butter and clam pizza? No tomato sauce, no cheese. Just peanut butter and clams. Becuase that exists, but I don't think most people would eat it or even consider it pizza in the first place.
What most people think of as pizza is, essentially, a variation of pizza marrianara which started life as a savory sauced made from crushed tomatoes covered with mozzarella cheese and parsley. This is also from where "marinara sauce" comes from, as it's a refinement of the original pizza sauce. Tomatoes parsley, garlic, onion, sometimes peppers.
The product is, by default, savory and spicy. Not sweet, the way a raw tomato would be. This isn't my opinion, if your marinara sauce is sweet, you have made a mistake in making it. If you are using something other than marinara sauce or similar, you are not making what most people think of when they think of pizza.
Marinara, and thus, pizza, is not something like say, Barbecue sauce which comes in a dozen different varieties and can taste like anything. There's a general consensus on what a red sauce, and thus marinara, and thus what pizza, is supposed to be like.
Pineapple runs counter to that... If you like it, fine... But I can't understand why, becuase in terms of culinary science the pineapple clashes with both the sauce and the cheese. You expect certain things when you eat a Pizza and Pineapple runs counter to those things.
And, again, the thought of mixing those flavors makes me nauseous. I am not allergic to any of the ingredients, there is nothing about the individual ingredients tha makes me sick, but the mixing of those flavors causes a physical reaction if sickness. I can only conclude that there's something wrong about it that either the people who like it ignore or have trained themselves to like.
Re: Bugs.
"Bug" is a category that covers most arthropods as well as several other varieties of invertebrates: A lobster is, in terms of genetics, evolutionary history, and cladistics closer to a spider or roach than it is to anything that most human beings would willingly eat. It has a hard shell, it looks like an alien, and is has the wrong number of legs. Ergo, it's a bug.
The only reason Lobster has considered a delicacy is becuase once we had trains able to haul lobster to the midwest before they died, fishermen in the coast would sell it to rubes in the mid west by saying it was a delicacy. People only like it becuase it's expensive. Before that, a net full of lobster was considered a day of fishing wasted and it was legally considered cruel and unusual punishment to make prisoners eat lobster more than three times a week.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.
