In the 50s, a German TV cook had invented it. He never was in Hawaii or even near the USA but called his toast (+ ham) + pineapple slice + cheese "Toast Hawaii" because it has pineapple in it.  WTF?  ?  Only one word could possibly describe that thing & that word is naff. Then have a Pizza Hawaii instead!  |

LOL I'm not saying it doesn't look like it would taste any good - it is more or less as you said a Hawaiian Pizza (side note I can't eat pineapple as I'm allergic to it). I'm just saying it looks like something that would have been served by a 1970's house wife trying to impress @ a cocktail party. |

I think that is a reasonable assessment - or something found in a child's cookbook for the EasyBake oven. |

Back in the 80s when pineapple first became a topping for pizza, (that I recall), all of pizza places had "Hawaiian Pizza" on the menu. Pizza Hut did, and still does in some locales, according to a quick google.
Though pineapple nowadays, for the most part, has fallen into the ever growing list of toppings that really only a small amount of fringe lunatic customers will order.

Here is a news article that states that Hawaiian style pizza is not of the German lineage. Hawaiian Style Pizza originated in Canada.Though of course, Toast Hawaii may not be completely of German origin, it may have its roots in the good old American Grilled Spamwich! Toast Hawaii (of course this is also a possible part of the heritage of the claimed Canadian origin of Hawaiian Pizza) |

From what I understand Canadians don't call it Canadian Bacon. They would just call it Bacon. BUT (there is always a but), what we Americans call Canadian Bacon is actually an American invention and has little to do with Canada. Also, the "ham" that Canadians call Bacon, is a roast that comes from the back of the hog and is not really ham. Ham comes from the Hams of the hog, upper leg/buttocks and of course how hams are cured play a role as well. REAL Canadian BaconYep, real Hawaiian Style Pizza could only use Spam, because it is Hawaiian as can be! |

Yes, it does sound pretty good. If you want to check out the top speed of an Italian, show him how Pizza Hawaii is made. And the ones which won't run when you make one wait until you are done, say "Interesting" when you offer one, nibble off a few micrograms of the rim and THEN run - or they say delicious but hand it back. |

I thought you did that by putting ketchup on spaghetti.

Other nationalities react similarly when you put ketchup on their food, like Americans with hot dogs.

Belief me, ketchup on spaghetti is one of the lesser evils most people outside Italy do to pasta! - use plenty of salt, but never add it before the water is boiling. - use plenty of water and NO LID! - Never rinse the pasta after boiling it - never use ground Parmesan - the only correct sauce is the one you make yourself, e.g. out of fresh tomatoes. Noodle-up and other canned pasta sauce is exactly as bad as ketchup! And by the way, pizza was developed as the first fast food known to man. After it was baked, it's folded and ready to be picked up by a customer. It was meant to be eaten on the go while walking and designed not to make a mess. |

I thought the National Hot Dog Association more than frowned on anyone over 18 using ketchup.

I am unfond of tomatoes, and parmesan. part of my routine for assembling things that resemble spaghetti is to cook the sauce for at least as much extra time as the pasta; to get rid of the undercooked-tomato taste. I've been known to top it with shredded cheddar, too. and if you want to eat folded food, get a calzone. |
