Pizza Hut Japan tries to win over pineapple haters with new bulgogi meat pizza
sora news 24 ^

You can’t say it’s gross if you’ve never tried it!

Cats vs. dogs. Hots dogs vs. hamburgers. Love dolls vs. drowned corpses. The list of opinion-battles that humans have pitted against one another for centuries goes on and on.

But none is more hotly contested than one debate: pineapple on pizza vs. oh hell no.

One of our Japanese reporters, Saya Togashi, didn’t know where she stood on the issue, having never tried it before. Thankfully, Pizza Hut Japan decided to put an end to that era of her life with their new release: the Bulgogi Festa, a pizza divided into quarters, each of which share the topping of Korean meat bulgogi.

▼ In addition to bulgogi there’s one quarter with jalapenos, another with kimchi, another with “extra tasty” bulgogi, and finally… one with pineapple.

Ground beef and onion is a great combination for a pizza. It’s sad that most pizza places don’t include ground beef as a topping.

Pineapple on a pizza is delicious especially if they cook it long enough for it to get a bit of char.

I’ve never had pineapple pizza. It sounds ungodly, like turkey gravy over chocolate ice cream.

>>Every pizza has fruit on it, because every pizza has tomato on it.

Wrong. When I was in DC or Deleware I learned of what they called “white pizza” which had no tomato sauce.

I’m OK with anchovies if they are chopped fine and spread across the pizza. But when they are kept whole and look like giant earthworms crawling across the pizza that is nasty looking and waaay too salty.

They also have a tricolor pizza with 1/3rd tomato sauce, 1/3rd white sauce, and 1/3rd pesto.

That is quite delicious.

Yes. You got me. There are exceptions.

When did this silliness become a "thing"?

I remember when in collage we happily scarfed up any pizza and no one stuck their nose in the air except maybe at anchovies.

Yes, there was pineapple on the pizza. And ham. And it was good.

Now it seems to be trendy to whine about an ingredient used for 50 years.

Don’t forget the pyramid shaped grating over a fire where you take the raw meat off your plate, put it on the grate via chopsticks untill it is cooked to your likeness.

Just because one doesn’t like some food that others enjoy doesn’t make it “nasty” or “disgusting.” It just means you don’t like the taste, or the look of it, or your stomach can’t handle it, that’s all.

Pineapple pizza grosses me out. Can’t stand being at the same table.

What about tomato sauce?

Tomatoes are fruit.

The katakana clearly says “pu ru go gi” in the picture, so why does the article use “burugogi”? What is it anyway? It’s not a Japanese word.

I’m having bulgogi and kimchee right now, from the Korean store. Bought the raw meat already marinaded and cooked it on the stovetop. Came out perfect. No pizza or pineapple needed.

It’s an attempt to render a Korean term, bul-gogi (literally fire-meat) into Japanese pronunciation. And as you likely know, Japanese typically have a vowel after every consonant.

I think that is all over Asia.

It actually tasted like a ham sandwich with pineapple.

I always thought "disgusting" was too strong a word for hating particular toppings on pizza. I'm not a big fan of bbq chicken pizza, but it's not disgusting.

Broccoli on pizza IS disgusting. But that's only because broccoli is disgusting.
