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

    If someone enjoys something I say let them enjoy it. Seems like an interesting combination but not something I need to go out and try immediately.

      maybe a soy sauce glaze.

      Thanks for sort of confirming a thought I just had! I never heard of pineapple on a burger, but I started thinking about what might work and soy/teriyaki started coming up in my mind as a potential and then I see this comment lol

    Grilled pineapple or pineapple tossed in a crawfish boil is excellent and would be a great burger addition. But it can’t just be a slice of pineapple. Too sweet. It would mess up the cheese flavor. You need to get rid of some of the sugar.

    They’re pretty good, they definitely improve an otherwise pretty average burger. I’ve rarely had them on actual good burgers but on those occasions they were also good, but I think the trouble is that in that context it’s kind of a distraction and just a bit too much added water weight if it’s an otherwise nice hefty and generous burger. They definitely need to be cooked themselves a bit to caramelise them though otherwise not really worth bothering with.

      I have personally never experienced this. The pizza around here is perfectly well balanced with pineapple too. No sogginess, and the pineapple is amazingly juicy still, not dry or hard.

      You might have encountered someone using the usually tossed inner parts of a pineapple, that are more fibrous? I bake a lot of homemade pizzas and even I have never managed to dry out the pineapple in the short time the pizza visits the oven

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The only time I’ve ever had it was at a Disneyland resort, and that was not at all a good burger. I assume it would be nice on a higher quality burger.
