I’m Australian, and burger with the lot where I come from involves the following Bun Bacon Egg Lettuce Tomato Pineapple Beetroot Meat Onion Sauce maybe. That’s the minimum you expect anyway
Just so long as you wash it down with an avocado smoothie.
Did this once for some friends come over for a cook out. Everybody loved them.
Who cares. Eat what you like. If it’s a pineapple burger, put it in… And let people eat what they want and like, as long as it is not harming others.
Unless you’re a cannibal, like Shia Labeouf.
No
Pineapple is a weak choice of fruit for savory-sweet combinations. Y’all need to learn about cranberry
Grilled pineapple is so freaking good on a burger, especially if you use sweet chili for the sauce instead of ketchup/mustard/mayo.
Grilled pineapple is good on its own, the burger is garnish.
Pineapple? Don’t insult the burger like that
A friend of mine turned me on to pineapple and peanut butter on my burger. It is weirdly amazing.
I could see that, i really enjoy peanut butter and Vegemite together on a sandwich
Vegemite is one of my most proud acquired tastes. My parents picked up a jar of it when they were down under, and when I was over and saw it I said, “Oh good, you got Vegemite!”
They started going on about how they think it’s a joke that the locals play on foreigners. I showed them that if you spread it thin enough, you can start to enjoy it. Then you build up that enjoyment.
I love that shit.
Enjoy a burger how you want, or not, I could hardly care any less as long as you’re not hurting anybody with your lifestyle choice.
Personally, I just don’t like cooked pineapple very much. It’s a pale imitation of fresh in both taste and texture. Pure disappointment, and I’ve got enough disappointment in my life already, don’t need anymore on my pizza or burger or tacos or spaghetti or upside down cake or colada.
I was on board with pineapple in some scenarios. Carl’s Jr does a teriyaki burger with pineapple that’s alright.
But beets? Apparently even the food is trying to kill you down under.
Condensing a rant I had on another comm with this question here: fruit belongs with meat. fullstop. Idk why we’re still having this discussion when medieval peasants were able to figure it out in like the 12th century.
Whether it’s a roast pig, or a burger, or a pizza, there’s a reason pineapple is always brought up.
Controversial or not, the concept of something being both savory and sweet at the same time is popular (and frankly…delicious) Heck, it’s the whole reason Chocolate Covered Peanuts exist.
Pineapple is easily the best for that kind of combination. Apple comes in a close second (hence having an apple butter pork tenderloin, or apple sauce with pork chops, etc…
Why pineapple gets singled out and derided over every other fruit that does the same thing is just weird.
I haven’t tried pineapple on a burger, but I wouldn’t rule it out. I think Ray Kroc wanted to introduce something called the “Hula Burger” at McDonalds.
That technically wasn’t pineapple on a burger… It was a pineapple burger. As in, the slice of pineapple replaced the beef patty.
lol oh really? That’s interesting. 😂
Like a fritta? I had a burger yesterday that had s drop fride slice of pineapple in it. But it also had chicken etc too
Teriyaki burgers with pineapple is one of my absolute favorite burgers
One of the best. But messy as heck to eat.
Meh. I’d try it but I don’t think I would especially enjoy it over any other burger. But I won’t judge anyone who likes it.
