TM Polycrisis Prep: Pineapple on Pizza?

Welcome to the first-ever segment of Troublemaker’s Polycrisis Prep School, a special segment of the Troublemaker’s Podcast where we debate the most “pressing” dilemmas of our turbulent times. First on the chopping board:

🍕🍍 Is it acceptable to put pineapple on pizza?

 

Joining the food fight are the Three Ms—Malemi, Maggie, and Mia.

 

Malemi is firmly in the no camp—pizza is savory, and fruit (beyond tomatoes[?]) has no place here.

 

Mia also resists the pineapple urge, despite growing up around it. Nostalgia isn't enough to justify the sweet-savory mix.

 

Maggie, on the other hand, is pineapple’s loudest defender. For her, it’s the bold contrast—the sweetness of baked pineapple meeting salty cheese—that makes Hawaiian pizza a standout.

 

It’s complicated. But if the world is ending, maybe the real question is: what wouldn’t you try on your pizza?

 

Let us know what you think! Is pineapple on pizza a culinary crime or an underrated joy?
