Despite its name, Hawaiian pizza was not invented in Hawaii, nor in Italy, but in Canada. In 1962, Sam Panopoulos, a Greek-born restaurant owner in Chatham, Ontario, decided to add tinned pineapple to a ham pizza. His customers liked it enough that, within a few decades, it had spread to menus all over the world.

Ever since, pineapple pizza has split dinner tables like few other dishes. Fans praise the contrast between sweet fruit and salty ham; critics call it an insult to Neapolitan tradition. Where do you stand? Vote, then own up to your other favourite sweet and savoury pairings.
