    In this video:
    On June 8, 2017, Greek-born, Canadian-bred pizza maker Sam Panopoulos died. His career slinging pies was rather unremarkable save for one notable thing - he was the inventor of the popular, yet infamous pineapple-topped “Hawaiian Pizza,” named as such because of the brand of canned fruit he used. Loved by some and hated by others, the sweet and salty pizza is so controversial that it once triggered an argument between friendly nations. While such arguments rage on both sides of it being a delicacy or an abomination, the fact is that the Hawaiian pizza is actually not Hawaiian- it’s Canadian. Here now is the story of pizza and the man who decided to add pineapples to it.

      "That's a moor". Sorry Simon, but this reflects a lack of understanding that foreign languages are not pronounced like English and a lack of wider cultural knowledge/familiarity with a fairly common song. It's not Othello: try to sound more like Chico Marx.
      Unless like the Naples map, it was a dry joke (in which case, good on you, you have fooled me). But I don't think so, since I have heard similar pronunciation errors by you in other videos.
      Or, if it is meant to be a joke, you need to make this clearer to everyone (eg after you have made the joke by mispronouncing the word, say it again the correct way).
      Anyway, it's not a big deal (we can all always improve the things we do), and I still really appreciate your informative, generally well-presented and fun videos. 😎

    To give more context on why people used to think why tomatoes were poisonous is because pretty much all plates and dishes used to be made out of pewter and because of that the acids from the tomato would draw out the lead from the pewter causing poisonings to happen (people at the time not realising it was the lead doing the poisoning and not the tomatoes). People would also often through tomatos at prisoners hoping to poison them which is where the trope of throwing tomatoes at bad performers also originated from.

    • @allesklarklaus147
      @allesklarklaus147 Před 6 lety +5

      Everything from the tomato plant exept red tomatos contains "poison" in noticeable amounts so maybe they just ate green tomatos without cooking them or so. I would think that since they had vinegear and wine back than the acid thing must have happened with other foods too

    • @genghispecan
      @genghispecan Před 5 lety +4

      @Darrien Breen
      Well...maybe... but I rather think it has to do with the fact that tomatoes, along with many other agricultural products native to the New World (potatoes, peppers, tobacco, chilies, aubergines, etc), are all flowering plants from the Solanaceae Family... otherwise known as Nightshade whose European relatives were infamously toxic and used to brew poisons and psychoactive agents. So a bunch of explorers come back from distant, strange lands with weird varieties of Nightshade that the native allegedly cultivated. No FDA, EMA, or WHO to cultivate, test, and establish that they were safe for human consumption and then disseminate that information in corner shops with little labels. Even a village idiot of the time would have no trouble seeing the physical similarities with their lethal European relatives so its no great stretch of the imagination that folks were suspicious of them. It took time and ultimately famine for people to really embrace plants from the New World as they proved to be hardy and could produce several crops in one year even if there was a terrible yield of the traditional corn crops ("Corn" is an old, old, old Old World general term for grain producing crops).

    • @sebastianortega1938

Streets and street corners featured loads of shops, many of which were pizza joints. And some of them were near the brothels. So based on this, one can deduce that after an evening in the brothel, a short walk down the street to grab a pizza was in order in 1st-century Pompeii.

    I was introduced to Hawaiian pizza with pineapple, ham, and maraschino cherries on it. That was the early 90s. Then suddenly nobody included the cherries anymore. I’m guessing the cost. I swear though if you love Hawaiian add some maraschino cherries it’s amazing!

      Let me tell you about my favourite pizza:
      Tomato sauce, mushrooms, ham (although it is perfectly possible to replace that with something vegetarian friendly... or with bacon, as you prefer), diced pineapple, sliced banana, cheese and a sprinkling of curry.
      Since I am from Sweden, and we apparently have a habit of doing this, I have taken to occasionally ad a bit of sauce bearnaise on top of the pizza, but I realize that is a step too far by many people's standards.

    My take on this:
    Pineapple on pizza is fantastic, but better if the pizza is baked without it, then add the pineapple afterward, before baking the pizza for a couple minutes more to let the cheese grab a hold of the pineapple, that way the tart and crunchiness of the pineapple is less affected by the heat.

That spread around tell Queen Victoria had decorations on her tree on a Christmas card. It spread though Europe and North America because of the newsletter and papers people were reading at the time.

    I'm more interested in finding out, when did people started hating on the Hawaiian Pizza? It seems to me that this is a very recent thing. I don't recall hearing so much hate about it10 years ago. Maybe their first encounter with eating one was the pineapple used wasn't ripe or of low quality. It also sounded to me that this hate was brought about by peer pressure and they just couldn't admit to their friends that they liked it since most of them were vocal about hating on it even though it wasn't bad at all.

Further, the song you reference, _That’s Amore_ is clearly referencing the Italian, is sung by an Italian American Dean Martin, and is certainly pronounced in the Italian fashion in said song. I know the British have a penchant for anglicizing the pronunciation of foreign words, but “That’s Amor” just isn’t a song performed by Dean Martin.

      The Brits are well-known for butchering the hell out of foreign words; consider Los An-juh-LEEZE for Los Angeles, and Simon's even called Mesa, Arizona (pronounced MAY-sa) as MEE-sa, like he's Jar Jar Binks.
      Still not as bad as the one British person I heard refer to a guy named Jose pronouncing it so it rhymed with "Gross".
      Brits may slag on us Americans for butchering "their" language, but your average American at least pronounces the loanwords correctly.

    There is a decent reason that both tomatoes and potatoes were thought to be poisonous - they are both in the nightshade family though they don't carry enough of the active toxic ingredient.

      Potatoes have plenty of it, just in the leaves and in any part of the tuber that spends enough time above ground to turn green instead of the neutral color of a proper potato.

      HerrStein "...Greek-born, Canadian-bred..." implies someone of Greek origin who was raised in Canada, and so likely would consider themselves Canadian.
      A person of Chinese origin in the US would be referred to as 'Chinese-American', so I use the same [origin]-[residence] convention for the Greek-Canadian.

    I was introduced to pizza about 1960 when a hotel in my town started selling it, with cheese, pepperoni and mushrooms. In the late 60s I was at University in London, Ont. (about 100km from Chatham,) and first had Hawaiian pizza. Loved it then and still love it now.

    Pizza as we know it came out in New York City. it may have been a reintroduction but considering nobody remembered the previous iterations, the previous considerations may be a moot argument.
    The cool thing about pizzerias is that they could deliver and made them an excellent front for drug operations beginning in the 1950s and especially in the 1960s and seventies.
    As for Hawaiian pizza, it is actually my favorite.
    My uncle visited (Naples) Neapolis when he was in the Navy he told me it was probably the dirtiest City he had ever been in in his life. It's entirely possible that Samuel Morse could not differentiate the smell of the pizza from the smell of the town.

  • @pianotm
    @pianotm Před 6 lety +22

    "Tomatoes were considered poisonous." Fun Fact: Tomatoes are members of the nightshade family, in the class belladonna, same as deadly nightshade. "Also potatoes." I could say the same thing. They are also nightshades, and so is eggplant. The tomatoes themselves aren't poisonous, but the foliage is insanely toxic (as are most of the class atropa belladonna's berries). It's no wonder they thought it was poisonous: tomatoes and potatoes would be among the first nightshades that Europeans ever encountered that *weren't* poisonous.
    By the way, I hate pineapple, so when I worked at a pizzeria that served the first Hawaiian pizza I had ever personally encountered, I was horrified and refused to even look at it. Then, one day, the chef messed one up, so free pizza. Beats paying for lunch. It instantly became my favorite pizza. I have no idea how pineapple was able to round it out so amazingly.

      @sion8 Před 6 lety +1

      Actually it was pewter plates and utensils that were used to serve food back in the day, lead would leak out because of the acidity of the fruit and absorb by the tomatoes and to say the least it would poison people. You got to remember that back in the day these foods were new and only the rich could actually afford them and so they would only be serve on special occasions, heck pineapples were used as decorations rather than as food for awhile before they became affordable to the European masses; there were people that would preserve pineapples (or make sculptures of them) just so that when people that weren't exactly extravagantly rich had fancy dinners they could offer to rent them for the event and show off.

      It wouldn't bother me except that people always order it when sharing pizza, in which case just order something that everyone will like pepperoni. There's always a whole box if Hawaiian pizza that nobody wants to eat because someone ordered it as half the pizza but 90% of the people won't eat it. On top of that pineapple juice leaks out all over so you can't just pick it off and eat it without it. Once it's on there and cooked it ruins the pizza.

      Nobody is freaking out about anything (ok, Gordon Ramsey perhaps excepted but that's his schtick.) People are just expressing the opinion that pineapple on pizza is a garbage idea. Don't take it personally, hell I had a friend as a kid that preferred to eat dog biscuits to cookies - whatever makes you happy. Myself, I don't like it because I don't care for chunks of pineapple in any form or context. The juice has a nice flavor, though, especially for cocktails.
