I can't explain why but pineapple with ham on a pizza is actually prett good. Yeah I thought it was odd the first time I had it but found it was rather enjoyable.

Pineapple on ham goes back a long way, they call them Hawaiian around here on pizza, but pineapple rings on baked ham has been around a long time, it's called pineapple glazed ham. At least in the southern US it's popular.

Not just the south.

My mother-in-law made that, with the cherries, and she was a lifelong NYC-area resident.

After I had pineapple and ham pizza, I started cooking hams that way as well. Granted I also have cooked hams with a cranberry sause and brown sugar glaze, honey, and with Coca-Cola. All are pretty good. I've known about pineapple glazed ham my entire life being born and living my entire life in Alabama, jsut my parents prefered salt cured ham or smoke cured ham instead of the sweet taste pineapple glazed ham has. So it wasn't until I was an adult that I got to try it.

The pineapple on pizza started because of people putting shrimp on pizza. Ever get nautious feeling after eating shrimp? A little pineapple or pineapple juice would have prevented it.

Vegas casino sells 6-pound burrito at cafe, but patrons who can't finish get 'Weenie' shirt
Associated Press

February 27, 2009

LAS VEGAS - A Las Vegas casino cafe is rewarding patrons who can put away a 2-foot, 6-pound burrito with a most logical prize — free unlimited rides on a roller coaster that runs in both forward and reverse.

The offer comes with a caveat, though: Those who accept the challenge but can't finish "The Bomb" burrito have to take a picture with an extra small, pink T-shirt that says "Weenie."

The NASCAR Cafe at the Sahara Hotel & Casino began selling the cheese-and-guacamole slathered burrito on Thursday for $19.95.

Those who can finish the monstrous entree get it for free, along with two unlimited coaster passes and a T-shirt proclaiming they "Conquered the Bomb."

I noticed the "Munchie Boxes" and deep-fried chocolate bars on that list which are very popular up here but another heart-shattering delicacy is deep fried pizzas (I think one of the links there mentions them too).

Defensiveness aside... I will say that I am intrigued by a lot of this stuff.  Frying non-standard foods does sound fun!
