Beets in a tin

[Bitburger Crew]

Is there any in Hefei!

I could swear I had a can in my hand in Metro about 3 months ago. Now I can not find any.

[Patrick]

That would explain why my Aussie burger came sans beets the other night. It was still quite good, but I look forward to trying it with beets.

[Aussie Mike]

Oh a burger ain't a burger unless at has beetroot.

[rgeczi]

I never ate a burger with beets in it.  Am I low class? 

Usually in Canada, we do lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, and stuff like BBQ sauce and so on.

[Bitburger Crew]

And now you never will...hahaha

Aussies like beets,egg and pineapple, and what ever else is in the cooler at the moment. you need a tarp if you eat one of their burgers.

Sorry Patrick.

Beetroot adds a whole new dimension to a burger 
Avoid spillage, it stains permanently.

[Andy72]

i admit i also never had beets in burgers........

[大枪]

Agreed. Adding beetroot to a burger creates another dimension-- it's the burger equivalent of moving from 2D into 3D.

With thin slices of fried pineapple + bacon you will glimpse the 4th dimension, however, beginner beware. Combining pineapple and beetroot can result in juice overload and a soggy-bun Chernobyl if the slices are not adequately thin and well-drained.

[rgeczi]

Bacon I would do, pineapple...pass.  I don't want to make my burger too fruity. 

[Andy72]

why ppl want to put pineapple everywhere?

great fruit and juice and cakes.. leave it out of burgers AND pizzas!!!!!

[大枪]

off pizzas? Are you kidding me? Pineapple on pizzas is part of Italian tradition.

The first recorded pineapple pizza was made in 1276 in Palermo

[Andy72]

and thank good was never repeated!!!!

until a few years ago if you were asking for pineapple pizza in italy they would take you to the mad house directly.. maybe after a good beating )))

thank wiki-god i can destroy the heresy you spoke of:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_pizza

it is of course canadian (created by a guy with greek name!), and loved in australia....... may the pizza god forgive them, they don't know what they are doing!!!   

[大枪]

ahh, no need for modesty now. It really is the Italians we can thank for giving us pineapple pizza.

Answer:
... in the year 1521 the Italian Antonio Pigafetta (nice name) discovered pineapple in Brazil on his circumnavigation of the globe. Being homesick he made pizza and not having tomatoes and cheese added pineapple and tuna.

 

[Andy72]

thank god there are no references in his diaries ))

keep the tuna!!! and have a fruit cocktail as dessert with pineapple!!

also why Pigafetta is a nice name??

 

you can have all my pineapple from the pizza if you give me your tuna

[Aussie Mike]

The thin slice of pineapple, with a quick flip on the hotplate then placed directly on the patty, a single piece of beetroot on top of that, topped with tomoto, lettuce, egg and fried onions.
