ham and pinneapple?

[shoegal-nyc]

what do we think about ham and pinneapple? better together or apart?

[katejess44]

Oooh together for me!

[woofgang]

together provided that they are both good quality, gristle and stringy fibre together are not a good mixture

[buchanan]

Definitely together like parma ham and melon ... heaven, scuse me, started to drool.

woofgang has said everything, that needs to be said!

At a slight tangent - the only time we eat cheese and pineapple together is on cocktail sticks at naff buffets.

Are there any recipes at all that combine cheese and pineapple?

[shoegal-nyc]

you can get cottage cheese with pinneaple in? its really nice....

I can just about cope with buchanan's parma ham and melon, but if anything derserved to be put asunder it is ham and pineapple.
The Germans have Toast Hawaii, which is a piece of toast, a slice of (usually dodgy) ham, a ring of (invariably tinned) pineapple and a slice of (usually processed) cheese which is then grilled. It has become the epitome of 1950s naffness, often served up as a joke at "retro" parties.
Willowman - have a look at the BBC Food site - you can combine ingredients in the recipe search.

a hotel i used to work at had a dish on the menu that combined a piece if gammon, two slices of pineapple on top, smothered in cheese and whacked under the grill - the chef then garnished the "bumps" with two cherries. Sadly it was called "Gangster's Moll!"

[glenis]

both delicious but should never meet on a pizza

[graemer]

glenis, wash your mouth out!

�" thick gammon steak, pineapple slice on top, with mushrooms, grilled tomatoes and a few golden oven chips, Yumsville

[Philtaz]

Definitely apart.  Still can't work out why people like it on pizza.  Yeuch!
