I have it on good authority the Hawaiian was possibly the first pizza with all the major food groups

Meat - the ham
Fruit - pineapple
Vegetable - tomatoes in the sauce
Dairy- cheese
Grains - in the dough base

Pizza is even shaped like the food pyramid..... coincidence? I think not

I bet he is desperately wanting GOD to like his "revolutionary" pizza. Failure to do so could potentially be kicked out of heaven. Not nice !

A truly revolutionary cultural icon- invented by a Greek, in Canada, redefining an Italian dish by adding a fruit (pineapple) native to South America and giving it the name of a Polynesian Island .

Which is why it's not called "ham" on the pizza, but "Canadian bacon".

Your right about the "domino effect"

Domino's Pizza opened on the ASX for around $2 in mid 2005 and peaked at $80 around mid 2016 ( a 40% pa. gain).

A great investment (particularly if you made it!)

Have you not had a deep fried, sugar and cinnamon coated pineapple with your fish and chips? Om nom nom
