"Restaurant Lists Pineapple Pizza for $122"

 

Quote

We're not fans of pineapple over here and we don’t think that anyone else should be either.

 

 

"Pizza Hut China releases pizza topped with fried whole frog"

Dubbed the “Goblin Pizza,” the pizza contains a deep-fried whole bullfrog resting on coriander with halved hard-boiled eggs and black olives serving as its eyes.

Wonder what happened with just plain no. No pineapple in the kitchen, no pineapple on your Pizza.

That thought did hit me. They must be pretty desperate. It sure wouldn't bring me through their doorway.

I've seen the frog pizza, but I don't do Pizza Hut. They don't even cook their pizzas in store. They are shipped in pre-assembled, frozen and then microwaved to order.

 

I have nothing against eating frog, though!

I had the opposite reaction, probably because I despise even the notion of pineapple on pizza.

I do hope that frog is completely slit and gutted. I can just see it blowing up like a balloon and exploding in the  in the microwave.

I am kind of surprised how much attention this story has garnered. Frog is one of the least strange things the Chinese put on their pizzas.  Anyway, it's only a limited release. 

 

My nearest Pizza Hut whose door I never trouble is in a building with multiple frog restaurants. No one bats an eyelid at frogs, snails, insects, etc on pizzas or anywhere else. Clearly the worst pizza topping is the very common durian.  I like durian but, on pizza, that out-grosses and makes pineapple sound vaguely sensible!
