Pineapple on pizza is always hotly debated, but do you think Pineapple belongs on a burger?

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

  • I like pineapple on its own. I'm just not a big fan of pineapple on things. I don't need everything I eat to be savory and sweet.

  • Funnily enough, I had a burger with pineapple on it when I was in Australia. It was great, I really liked the juiciness and taste the pineapple brought to the burger.

    Granted, it was at an Oporto (which is kinda like upscale McDonald's with a Portuguese theme to it for the uninitiated), but it was pretty good nonetheless; I'd have it again.

  • In the UK I'd say it's rare. Only a select few restaurants put pineapple slices in a burger, and they are mostly homegrown family-run businesses and, rarely, chains like Beefeater.

    I'd love to try one. Here the standard quality burger is (bottom to top): bun, lettuce, tomato, meat, onion, bacon if any, pickled gherkin slices, sauce, cheese slice. If that sounds bland by comparison it's because this is England.

    The fancy ones can have egg, hash brown, chilli peppers and/or mushrooms, but I've not yet seen beetroot in a burger

  • I do like pineapple in Asian chicken/rice dishes, but I was raised on beef burgers topped with pickle, ketchup, cheese, lettuce, tomato and bacon and that's my burger comfort zone.

  • 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.

  • Its a burger.

    On a bun.

    Add ketchup if you like.

    I don't care.

  • I'll eat pineapple on pizza, but not on a burger.

    I'll eat beetroot on a burger, but not on pizza.

    Pineapple is the reason I don't order burgers with the lot.
