Where did pineapple on pizza even come from? I'm curious to know...
Good ole Google tells me it was invented in Canada in 1962
I googled it and found out.
Great minds think alike?
As for pineapple on pizza ... I never ate it growing up, which is why I, personally, don't like it. (I also tried it, and didn't like it).
If anyone likes it, that's fine.
It's a question of taste, that's all. But if you visit Italy (and I hope you do - it's a wonderful country), pineapple on pizza isn't easy to find. Speaking of Italy and pizza, I've travelled across Tuscany and Veneto, and found that they don't make pizza with lots of toppings (as many pizza places do in the west), but with few - but very fresh - ingredients. It was more a light snack, not a heavy meal, but nevertheless delicious and full of energy. I loved it.

While sitting at the computer this morning, I heard a sound I haven't heard in a good five years: a horse snort in the pasture north of our house. We bought the pasture this week and this morning, our son brought one horse and one mule in to eat down the grass. Ah, the blend of nostalgia and pleasure. I have dearly missed our own horses who have gone to the wide open spaces in the sky.

What's your favourite pasta?
I think mine is ravioli, then next lasagna, and then penne.

Angel hair spaghetti is about as pasta-y as I get.
And no damn red sauce. I hate red sauce.

I was raised on it.
Blasphemer!
And homemade meatballs ... Mmm
Y'all can have my portion of red sauce. Also my portion of olives, tomatoes, and liver of any kind. You can't, however, have all the watermelon or green chili. That's green chili, with no damn red tomatoes in it. If it contains tomatoes, you can have it, too.
Spent the working day in Dublin today, greatly changed since I last lived there over 30 years ago. The next time someone says to me that all the foreigners are changing what it is to live in Ireland, I'm going to suggest they speak instead to their city planners who think that every available space must be occupied by massive, glass office buildings.
What is red sauce? *puzzled* I've never heard of it.
I don't mind any type of pasta at all, but the sauce makes the pasta. I make my own, with a combination of pureed tomatoes, grated carrots, whole mushrooms, ginger, and red capsicum. (Hmm).
Beyond that, my other favourite sauces (in that order) are carbonara (without cream - cream is an offense against carbonara) and/or ragù alla Bolognese. (Yes, another sauce that includes tomatoes - sorry, Catriona!)

No true believer calls it red sauce.
Whatever you call it, you can be a true believer that I am not gonna eat the stuff unless forced to do so by good manners... and maybe not then, even though it would bring on a haunting by generations of southern mamas and grandmamas.
A ghastly concoction composed mostly of tomatoes that is used to destroy perfectly good pasta.
By the way, ketchup is not red sauce. I can eat ketchup.
Don't ask.
I don't know what they did to you, but they didn't make sauce the way it is supposed to be made.
@Homer Potvin will be along shortly to explain that there isn't just one sort of red sauce, Marinara is different from Arrabbiata and allthat... doubtlesshe has a secret recipe passed down generations of potvins from da olde country

There are many shades and tints of red, but all are red at heart.
The cooked tomatoes are what get me. Some people eat cilantro and taste soap. I eat tomatoes and taste... tomatoes.
