Our second clue card brought us to a huge quandary, whether, or not, pineapple and pizza ought ever to be combined.
I think, like most things, if you enjoy it, why not. Though pineapple is usually combined with ham, which I do not eat.
Actually the proper name of a pizza with pineapple is a "Hawaiian" - and it was invented in Ontario, Canada, by a man called Sam Panopoulos, who wondered if, just like Chinese food, something sweet would go with something sour. As far as the name, that came from the fact that the pineapple was not freshly cut, it was out of a tin, a tin that bore the name "Hawaiian Pineapple Company".
Today fifty-six per cent of Americans do not think that pineapple and pizza go together - but they hate anchovies even more. On the other hand Australians rate pineapple pizza very highly.
This card is full of information, for it gives the name of the fruit in French, Latin, and German, and the pictures show the fruit being grown or harvested, as well as the fruit itself, with the leaves and sometimes the flowers
