Is it ever acceptable to put pineapple on pizza? I say no. You might say yes. There's only one way to find out.

Vote.

I'm led to believe it's acceptable with ham, in a 'Hawaiian' pizza.

It is never NEVER EVER acceptable to put pineapple on a pizza.

Fruit in savoury food: NO NO NO!

Not even applesauce on pork?

No, I'm not a fan of that either really.

I get the point of it, but for me, no.

Same with cranberry sauce with turkey or chicken.

Mint sauce with lamb is nice though.

The only time I had venison it came with some redcurrant jelly and I could've done without that too.

I wasn't all that keen on the venison either.

The worst thing of all is raisins or sultanas in curry,

Was anyone putting raisins in curry after about 1978 anyway?

MInt isn't really a fruit, it's more of a herb, I would have said.

Does your fruit/savoury mixing prohibition apply to Chinese cuisine as well?

Morrisons Savers Chicken & Vegetable Curry has them in, I suppose if you're going that cheap that's to be expected.

Obviously no, but it's very sweet, rendering the mint a kind of macerated, almost candied quality.

Mint is powerful enough to crash through that particular sugar wall[/prince/sheeneaastonreference]

As for raisins in curry, yes, it's been some time since they were habitually put in curries as an a priori indication of ham-fisted exotica, but it is, in some dishes (and national cuisines) still a thing.

e.g. dried apricots, prunes etc in North African cuisine (cos they use lamb a lot I guess).

Nigella Lawson is also the undisputed queen of hammering out pomegranate 'gems' with the back of a wooden spoon over everything from a Salade Niçoise to a shepherds pie, so booger that all over the shop and mop the lot op.

The only example I've genuinely liked is barberries in Iranian food.
