    I don't eat pineapple on my pizza so it's neither here or there for me. But, if someone wants pineapple on their pizza they should get pineapple on their pizza

    Wait, there's pizza delivery in Iceland...

    Hawaii may have to boycott ???? do they export anything besides frozen fish? Hawaiians prefer it fresh from someone they know in Hawaii already. what's our strategy?
    is this some kind of negotiating ploy? what do they really want?
    after reading the article and clicking on a sidebar I see they have two daily flights to anchorage and none to Honolulu!!!! no wonder the ban if only canned pineapple is available for toppings. gotta be fresh brah.

    Not sure I agree with ban but pineapple on pizza is as absurd as jalapenos in bagels. I'm all for cross-cultural fertilization and fusion food but some things just DON'T mix.

    I like both of those.

    As an aside, when I was visiting Arizona a couple years ago, I was amazed to discover that not only did the Safeway I visited not carry any pizzas with pineapple, but the cashier had never even heard of the concept.

    I honestly never knew this was such a controversial topic.

    Fruit has no place on pizza. Go ahead and tell me that tomatoes are a fruit, I will punch you.

    The article says that the President of Iceland's name is Guðni Th. Jóhannesson.

    I looked up the letter ð to see whether that little flying bird is a misprint.

    https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ð

    It's a translingual letter. First they got bathrooms, now they have their own alphabet.
