But WHY DO PEOPLE PUT SUGAR ON PIZZA?

WhatEVER next?

merlotgran Fri 31-Oct-14 21:33:07

Do they? YUK hmm

vampirequeen Fri 31-Oct-14 21:37:58

Urgh! Never seen that. Hope I never do.

Ana Fri 31-Oct-14 21:59:58

Even worse is that comment 'How fun' thlconfused

NfkDumpling Fri 31-Oct-14 22:10:38

Because it's cheaper than pineapple?

Nelliemoser Fri 31-Oct-14 22:16:03

Who does? I can imagine people do though. My sister puts sugar on Weetabix which I find amazing. I do not have a sweet tooth.

We were in Ask yesterday and they were offering a sweet apple pizza for dessert. No, none of us tried it.

I've read that there is a lot of sugar in most bought (savoury) pizzas.

Sweet apple pizza sounds horrible.

I know that tomatoes are sometimes eaten/cooked with a little sugar to cut tha acidity but this sounds to be over and beyond that level.

Oh dear Nellie - I've always had sugar on my weetabix, is that not usual?. blush

grannyactivist Sat 01-Nov-14 00:54:48

Not on pizza though. Never on pizza. (Am I redeemed?)

grannyactivist Sat 01-Nov-14 00:55:37

And I do put salt on my porridge more times than I have sugar on it. (But sometimes I do like both.)

I remember bread and sugar sandwiches in the old days, or thick brown dripping ones, together with fried baked beans and fried bread. Glorious stuff but not any more.

It'll be a Scottish thing Bags. They like their sweet stuff up there. They are trying to turn a pizza into a cake.

Call me old fashioned, but I thought pizza is savoury thing. Can you get sweet ones these days? I'm not a huge fan of pizza anyway, think them over=rated, but do eat one occasionally with grandchildren.
It wouldn't occur to me to put sugar on them. (the pizza, not the grandchildren!). grin

Norfolk, actually, jings. [tonguestickyout emoti]

I agree about pizzas being over-rated sandwiches, henetha wink

Who ARE these 'people'?

sunseeker Sat 01-Nov-14 10:09:08

I have an ongoing argument with my nephew (who loves pizza) - I say that pineapple on pizza is the work of the devil - he loves it! Pineapple belongs in a bowl with cream on it grin

Jane10 Sat 01-Nov-14 10:12:08

What about all this salted caramel that's so popular these days? Its the opposite of adding a sweet thing to a savoury one. It should be awful but its not.( Hangs head in shame over huge tum!)

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 01-Nov-14 11:10:50

Quite similar really Bags. #inthesticks

thlgrin

jinglbellsfrocks Sat 01-Nov-14 11:12:24

God! That grin looks even worse with a funny hat on!

shysal Sat 01-Nov-14 11:31:47

Popping candy doesn't usually taste sweet, so the only effect you would get would be the mini explosions in the mouth.

Teetime Sat 01-Nov-14 12:05:53

I confess to having a small amount of sugar on Weetabix and certainly on porridge. People seem to cover their meals in tomato ketchup and this very sweet- I don't take any table sauces at all. When I was in America we went to a restaurant that specialised in fried chicken (not a KFC classier than that) and everyone was pouring maple syrup over it- the whole place reeked of maple syrup - made me gag so I didn't eat much.

In Iceland they put marmalade on their meat. I know because I am working my way through the Reykjavik Murder Mysteries series on Kindle.
