"That's a moor". Sorry Simon, but this reflects a lack of understanding that foreign languages are not pronounced like English and a lack of wider cultural knowledge/familiarity with a fairly common song. It's not Othello: try to sound more like Chico Marx. Unless like the Naples map, it was a dry joke (in which case, good on you, you have fooled me). But I don't think so, since I have heard similar pronunciation errors by you in other videos. Or, if it is meant to be a joke, you need to make this clearer to everyone (eg after you have made the joke by mispronouncing the word, say it again the correct way). Anyway, it's not a big deal (we can all always improve the things we do), and I still really appreciate your informative, generally well-presented and fun videos. 😎
I was juust about to share this with my italian wife..... ....when at 8 minutes in, dude sings "That's A Moar". ufff. I can't share this with my wife. I'd lose ALL credibility. As did you, sir.
@@Ken_Brooks That's because "po-tay-to" is the Irish anglicization of the Spanish "patata" (and the origin of the influence and word in English since most of Europe shunned and abhorred the crop until well after the Irish had adopted it as a staple food) whereas "to-mah-to" is the anglicized version of the French/Spanish/Portuguese word "tomate" (to-mah-tay).
Pineapple on Pizza is _great;_ it's got the zest of marinara pizza with a sweet refreshing cool of pineapple. I say that before anybody should judge, give it a try.
A lot of people don't dig that umami sweet/sour taste though, the tomato paste on the pizza, ham and pineapple set each other off really well, hence why the "Hawaiian" pizza exists.
To give more context on why people used to think why tomatoes were poisonous is because pretty much all plates and dishes used to be made out of pewter and because of that the acids from the tomato would draw out the lead from the pewter causing poisonings to happen (people at the time not realising it was the lead doing the poisoning and not the tomatoes). People would also often through tomatos at prisoners hoping to poison them which is where the trope of throwing tomatoes at bad performers also originated from.
Everything from the tomato plant exept red tomatos contains "poison" in noticeable amounts so maybe they just ate green tomatos without cooking them or so. I would think that since they had vinegear and wine back than the acid thing must have happened with other foods too
@Darrien Breen Well...maybe... but I rather think it has to do with the fact that tomatoes, along with many other agricultural products native to the New World (potatoes, peppers, tobacco, chilies, aubergines, etc), are all flowering plants from the Solanaceae Family... otherwise known as Nightshade whose European relatives were infamously toxic and used to brew poisons and psychoactive agents. So a bunch of explorers come back from distant, strange lands with weird varieties of Nightshade that the native allegedly cultivated. No FDA, EMA, or WHO to cultivate, test, and establish that they were safe for human consumption and then disseminate that information in corner shops with little labels. Even a village idiot of the time would have no trouble seeing the physical similarities with their lethal European relatives so its no great stretch of the imagination that folks were suspicious of them. It took time and ultimately famine for people to really embrace plants from the New World as they proved to be hardy and could produce several crops in one year even if there was a terrible yield of the traditional corn crops ("Corn" is an old, old, old Old World general term for grain producing crops).
In Australia, Hawaiian pizza (especially in QLD and NSW) is regularly one of the most ordered types of pizza. The other popular staple of "Supreme" also regularly has pineapple on it.

Yes people get upset about pineapple but virtually any other ridiculous topping seem to be acceptable, for example tandoori chicken, nutella, BBQ sauce.
To me, Hawaiian pizza is best the next day, after being in the fridge overnight. Also, I agree with the OP's comment. Mention pineapple and pizza - freaking, but black olives - totally fine. Despite the fact that black olives are incredibly bitter.
It’s amazing to me how common it is that people think tomatoes are indigenous to Italy and potatoes are indigenous to Ireland. And by the way, I’ll never understand the food police thing - a pizza could be anything on flat bread.
I know this is an older comment, but it's true! Noodles, tomatoes, and basil were all foreign to Italy. Hard to imagine italian food without these things.

Growing up in Anaheim, California, during the early 1970s my family would go to a local Shakey's pizza to get a "Hawaiian Delight" pizza which had pineapple. My family still loves this!
I'm not normally bothered by people mispronouncing things but I genuinely cringed at this. I doubt he listened to the song at all, and that's a damn shame because it's a damn classic that you'll be hard pressed not to find someone who'll willingly and easily sing along with.

The Tiki culture you mention was about the excitement of having Hawaii becoming a state. All things Hawaiian were very popular in the late 50s to early 60s. It was not the result of returning troops as that happened much earlier.
My take on this: Pineapple on pizza is fantastic, but better if the pizza is baked without it, then add the pineapple afterward, before baking the pizza for a couple minutes more to let the cheese grab a hold of the pineapple, that way the tart and crunchiness of the pineapple is less affected by the heat.
I was introduced to Hawaiian pizza with pineapple, ham, and maraschino cherries on it. That was the early 90s. Then suddenly nobody included the cherries anymore. I’m guessing the cost. I swear though if you love Hawaiian add some maraschino cherries it’s amazing! I often chop up a bunch and take it right to my local pizza place and they happily just sprinkle it on the pizza before putting it in the oven.
Having been to Pompeii and Naples recently, I can tell you that, yes, Pompeii had some nice pizza joints. The city of Pompeii is amazing. Streets and street corners featured loads of shops, many of which were pizza joints. And some of them were near the brothels. So based on this, one can deduce that after an evening in the brothel, a short walk down the street to grab a pizza was in order in 1st-century Pompeii.
Odd for you to drop the third syllable of “Amore”. It is an Italian word, with the terminal e pronounced. Further, the song you reference, _That’s Amore_ is clearly referencing the Italian, is sung by an Italian American Dean Martin, and is certainly pronounced in the Italian fashion in said song. I know the British have a penchant for anglicizing the pronunciation of foreign words, but “That’s Amor” just isn’t a song performed by Dean Martin.
Pineapple on pizza is good, but what about mac and cheese on a pizza thats gross or the BLT pizza with mayo & here in North Dakota you can get pizza with sauerkraut too...yuck
People not liking pineapple on pizza are being narrow minded about food. There's nothing better than sweet and salty together. A nice grilled steak seasoned with just salt and pepper and served with grape jam on top: just marvelous.
"Tomatoes were considered poisonous." Fun Fact: Tomatoes are members of the nightshade family, in the class belladonna, same as deadly nightshade. "Also potatoes." I could say the same thing. They are also nightshades, and so is eggplant. The tomatoes themselves aren't poisonous, but the foliage is insanely toxic (as are most of the class atropa belladonna's berries). It's no wonder they thought it was poisonous: tomatoes and potatoes would be among the first nightshades that Europeans ever encountered that *weren't* poisonous. By the way, I hate pineapple, so when I worked at a pizzeria that served the first Hawaiian pizza I had ever personally encountered, I was horrified and refused to even look at it. Then, one day, the chef messed one up, so free pizza. Beats paying for lunch. It instantly became my favorite pizza. I have no idea how pineapple was able to round it out so amazingly.
Actually it was pewter plates and utensils that were used to serve food back in the day, lead would leak out because of the acidity of the fruit and absorb by the tomatoes and to say the least it would poison people. You got to remember that back in the day these foods were new and only the rich could actually afford them and so they would only be serve on special occasions, heck pineapples were used as decorations rather than as food for awhile before they became affordable to the European masses; there were people that would preserve pineapples (or make sculptures of them) just so that when people that weren't exactly extravagantly rich had fancy dinners they could offer to rent them for the event and show off.
Mr4theLulz1 I cannot like your comment enough. I, as major fan of botany, was wanting someone else to point out the family relations the plants have. One can even transplant vinery from tomatoes, potatoes, belladonna, and eggplant with each other with incredible ease.
Pineapple pizza follows under what I have coined "The Nickelback Effect". Everyone hates Nickelback, but somehow I mysteriously all of their albums sell to the point of gold or higher. Much like pineapple on pizza, it's popular on the internet to hate, yet every single pizza place stocks pineapple.
The Everyguy's Gun Channel So true. I admit I like Nickleback AND I like pineapple on my pizza. But I pare it with pepperoni and jalapenos. Trifecta of swert, salty, and spicy.
Bandwagon haters, most people that hate on it have never even taken a bite of it and if you offer it and just try and get them to taste it they will refuse and say it's gross. Like how are you gonna say it's gross if you haven't even tried it? lmao
Ever been to a pizza buffé type place? The pinapple pizza is always last to run out. It's little different than adding gummy-worms on pizza. Sweet and savoury don't mix well; and I'm well aware of salt-caramel nonsense. That's gross too.
I had heard that pizza became popular shortly after World War II when GI’s who served in Italy came back to the US and wanted more Italian dishes to eat. This would not only lead to the growth of pizza but also products liked canned pasta dishes, boxed pizza meals and various pasta and sauce is sold and grocery stores
Start of the video: "Who invented Hawaiian pizza?" *2 minutes later* "Now let's fast-forward a little. Mount Vesuvius leveled Pompeii on August 24, 79 AD." These really are just streams of consciousness, aren't they?
There is a decent reason that both tomatoes and potatoes were thought to be poisonous - they are both in the nightshade family though they don't carry enough of the active toxic ingredient.
HerrStein "...Greek-born, Canadian-bred..." implies someone of Greek origin who was raised in Canada, and so likely would consider themselves Canadian. A person of Chinese origin in the US would be referred to as 'Chinese-American', so I use the same [origin]-[residence] convention for the Greek-Canadian.
I'm more interested in finding out, when did people started hating on the Hawaiian Pizza? It seems to me that this is a very recent thing. I don't recall hearing so much hate about it10 years ago. Maybe their first encounter with eating one was the pineapple used wasn't ripe or of low quality. It also sounded to me that this hate was brought about by peer pressure and they just couldn't admit to their friends that they liked it since most of them were vocal about hating on it even though it wasn't bad at all.
@@codyw1 Not a popular opinion though. "They found in 2018 alone, some 5.7 million Hawaiian pizzas were ordered, making it in the top 4 of pizza choices in Australia. A massive 2.2 million Aussies requested MORE pineapple toppings be added to their pizza, while only 184,494 people requested they be removed. Their conclusion? Aussies are a fan of this tropical fruit on pizza, whether you like it or not. --- www.taste.com.au/articles/australias-most-controversial-pizza/24kr03y9
No. It's people with functioning taste buds, and/or people with a background in Italian cuisine. Try giving that shit to a dude from Naples. Yeah, good luck.
Proud Canadian and a lover of pineapple on pizza (just no ham, I'm vegetarian!) . A great combo is pineapple, mushrooms, green pepper, and olives - sweet, sour and salty - yum!!
In the early '90s I went to Western Samoa for hurricane relief, we rebuilt some roads, bridges, and schools. While there, I tried Hawaiian pizza with American cheese. I guess it was due to the cost of refrigerated transport as even the milk was the shelf-stable kind. Believe it or not, it was great!

I found this fascinating and educational. That stated, why do Brits feel compelled to aggressively mispronounce romance languages? “Amore” has three syllables. Even if one didn't know the general rule that Italians pronounce the final vowels of their words, all one would need to do would be to listen to Dino singing the damn song!
Simon mispronounces words pretty often. he doesn't seem to read these scripts ahead of time to get his context right, and frequently uses alternate pronunciations for other contexts
I went to a summer camp that had a fair amount of Canadians. We were having a pizza night and a bunch of us wanted Hawaiian and said it was pineapple and Canadian bacon (how it we always saw it on the menu). When it arrived the Canadian kids were saying that it wasn't bacon and we asked what they called it in Canada and this kid says "ham, we just call it ham".
I was checking too, before I commented. Simon Whistler is smart as a whip and I'm guessing the map was probably an Easter egg for intelligent people. It is undoubtedly a joke!
After a long day working outside, I sit down with a piece of pizza and a beer, pull up YT, and this video is at the top of my Recommendations... I’m sure it’s just a coincidence and not Google being creepy...🤣
To make a Hawaiian pizza taste good you must drain the pineapple and squeeze out all the juice, then you need to place it on the top of all other ingredients. This method caramelizes the fruit and prevents the juice from getting the crust soggy and sour.
I love, love, love Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple is one of the rare fruits that works well with fat and meat. One of my favorite custom types is ham, pineapple, and anchovies with extra cheese.
I know someone who digs at me for liking pineapple on a pizza (I dont have a Hawaiian myself, I like pepperoni and pineapple) His constant argument is "Who has sweet AND salty?!" - All while standing there scoffing a bag of salted caramel cookies....

It's NOT Ah-More, it's Ah-Mmore-AY. No matter how the real Italian language may pronounce 'amore,' in the song, it's most definitively pronounced Ah-More-AY
People who freak out about pineapple on pizza have nothing going on in their lives so they cling to phony outrage in order to make their personality seem deep.
It wouldn't bother me except that people always order it when sharing pizza, in which case just order something that everyone will like pepperoni. There's always a whole box if Hawaiian pizza that nobody wants to eat because someone ordered it as half the pizza but 90% of the people won't eat it. On top of that pineapple juice leaks out all over so you can't just pick it off and eat it without it. Once it's on there and cooked it ruins the pizza.
Nobody is freaking out about anything (ok, Gordon Ramsey perhaps excepted but that's his schtick.) People are just expressing the opinion that pineapple on pizza is a garbage idea. Don't take it personally, hell I had a friend as a kid that preferred to eat dog biscuits to cookies - whatever makes you happy. Myself, I don't like it because I don't care for chunks of pineapple in any form or context. The juice has a nice flavor, though, especially for cocktails. You want to see people freak out about nothing? Say ketchup on a hot dog is pleasant and enjoyable.
In the Navy, I learned to do the same thing with anchovies and I acquired a taste for it. I would guess one could parade a pineapple and anchovy pizza during a football game and enjoy every slice.
I'm sorry, that was imprecise; I was responding to C M, and then your question, but I can see how you would assume the two parts should be conflated. No insult meant to you, at all; it was a fair question, but I think they definitely meant it as a joke.
Why does everyone hate Hawaiian Pizza? I mean, my sister ordered it all the time (with a few extra bits like black olives and being stuffed crust) and I started eating it... And I love it. It's literally the only pizza I will buy if I can.
Every WWII vet I have ever spoken to who spent any time in Italy said the Italians had no idea what pizza was, and when explained to them would make something similar to, "soggy bread with ketchup on it". So I'll take the word of more than 100 veterans over your investigation team.
I don't dislike Hawaiian Pizza, but if I have other options I'll take them first. Also I need to remind myself not to watch food related videos at 1:30 am as they always give me the munchies lol!
...You and literally every single person I've had pizza with... It's pretty common for girls to ask for it because calories, diet and all that BS, then again, they always end up just having a single slice of Hawaiian Pizza... after eating a slice with a different topping. Every time that happens I love telling them: You're just trying to fool yourself into believing that you like Hawaiian pizza.
Pizza as we know it came out in New York City. it may have been a reintroduction but considering nobody remembered the previous iterations, the previous considerations may be a moot argument. The cool thing about pizzerias is that they could deliver and made them an excellent front for drug operations beginning in the 1950s and especially in the 1960s and seventies. As for Hawaiian pizza, it is actually my favorite. My uncle visited (Naples) Neapolis when he was in the Navy he told me it was probably the dirtiest City he had ever been in in his life. It's entirely possible that Samuel Morse could not differentiate the smell of the pizza from the smell of the town.

Simon’s mispronunciation of amore is baffling.
Could also be that he is more influenced by the French who "leave off" the last vowel to sound like "ah-moor" instead of "ah-more-ay".
Even more baffling is that he pronounces "tomato" as "to-MAH-to" but he doesn't pronounce "potato" as "po-TAH-to".
@@Ken_Brooks That's because "po-tay-to" is the Irish anglicization of the Spanish "patata" (and the origin of the influence and word in English since most of Europe shunned and abhorred the crop until well after the Irish had adopted it as a staple food) whereas "to-mah-to" is the anglicized version of the French/Spanish/Portuguese word "tomate" (to-mah-tay).

I like the fact that the Italian/Latin cookbook you showed, was written by Dutchmen and printed in Amsterdam, very Italian indeed
My take on this:
Pineapple on pizza is fantastic, but better if the pizza is baked without it, then add the pineapple afterward, before baking the pizza for a couple minutes more to let the cheese grab a hold of the pineapple, that way the tart and crunchiness of the pineapple is less affected by the heat.
Yup, that's the way I make it. Always put pineapple and sweet chili sauce on at the end. Otherwise the pineapple gets mushy and the chili sauce burns.
A-more-ay!
«Amore» has three syllables.
You've obviously never heard the Dean Martin song as you mispronounced "amore."
He's English, eh? English don't really do foreign languages.
I was introduced to Hawaiian pizza with pineapple, ham, and maraschino cherries on it. That was the early 90s. Then suddenly nobody included the cherries anymore. I’m guessing the cost. I swear though if you love Hawaiian add some maraschino cherries it’s amazing! I often chop up a bunch and take it right to my local pizza place and they happily just sprinkle it on the pizza before putting it in the oven.
Having been to Pompeii and Naples recently, I can tell you that, yes, Pompeii had some nice pizza joints. The city of Pompeii is amazing. Streets and street corners featured loads of shops, many of which were pizza joints. And some of them were near the brothels. So based on this, one can deduce that after an evening in the brothel, a short walk down the street to grab a pizza was in order in 1st-century Pompeii.
Odd for you to drop the third syllable of “Amore”. It is an Italian word, with the terminal e pronounced. Further, the song you reference, _That’s Amore_ is clearly referencing the Italian, is sung by an Italian American Dean Martin, and is certainly pronounced in the Italian fashion in said song. I know the British have a penchant for anglicizing the pronunciation of foreign words, but “That’s Amor” just isn’t a song performed by Dean Martin.
Pineapple on pizza is good, but what about mac and cheese on a pizza thats gross or the BLT pizza with mayo & here in North Dakota you can get pizza with sauerkraut too...yuck
People not liking pineapple on pizza are being narrow minded about food. There's nothing better than sweet and salty together. A nice grilled steak seasoned with just salt and pepper and served with grape jam on top: just marvelous.
I may have to try that.
GAG!
Are you a scout sent by your alien species to ruin our planet or something???
"Tomatoes were considered poisonous." Fun Fact: Tomatoes are members of the nightshade family, in the class belladonna, same as deadly nightshade. "Also potatoes." I could say the same thing. They are also nightshades, and so is eggplant. The tomatoes themselves aren't poisonous, but the foliage is insanely toxic (as are most of the class atropa belladonna's berries). It's no wonder they thought it was poisonous: tomatoes and potatoes would be among the first nightshades that Europeans ever encountered that *weren't* poisonous.
By the way, I hate pineapple, so when I worked at a pizzeria that served the first Hawaiian pizza I had ever personally encountered, I was horrified and refused to even look at it. Then, one day, the chef messed one up, so free pizza. Beats paying for lunch. It instantly became my favorite pizza. I have no idea how pineapple was able to round it out so amazingly.
Actually it was pewter plates and utensils that were used to serve food back in the day, lead would leak out because of the acidity of the fruit and absorb by the tomatoes and to say the least it would poison people. You got to remember that back in the day these foods were new and only the rich could actually afford them and so they would only be serve on special occasions, heck pineapples were used as decorations rather than as food for awhile before they became affordable to the European masses; there were people that would preserve pineapples (or make sculptures of them) just so that when people that weren't exactly extravagantly rich had fancy dinners they could offer to rent them for the event and show off.
Mr4theLulz1 I cannot like your comment enough. I, as major fan of botany, was wanting someone else to point out the family relations the plants have. One can even transplant vinery from tomatoes, potatoes, belladonna, and eggplant with each other with incredible ease.

Cool!
Calm down national geographic
Pineapple pizza follows under what I have coined "The Nickelback Effect". Everyone hates Nickelback, but somehow I mysteriously all of their albums sell to the point of gold or higher. Much like pineapple on pizza, it's popular on the internet to hate, yet every single pizza place stocks pineapple.
The Everyguy's Gun Channel So true. I admit I like Nickleback AND I like pineapple on my pizza. But I pare it with pepperoni and jalapenos. Trifecta of swert, salty, and spicy.
Hawaiian Pizza is Nickelback. Couldn't have said it better.
Bandwagon haters, most people that hate on it have never even taken a bite of it and if you offer it and just try and get them to taste it they will refuse and say it's gross. Like how are you gonna say it's gross if you haven't even tried it? lmao
Ever been to a pizza buffé type place? The pinapple pizza is always last to run out. It's little different than adding gummy-worms on pizza. Sweet and savoury don't mix well; and I'm well aware of salt-caramel nonsense. That's gross too.
The 'Naples' in your second map (with the pin in it) is in Florida. Never heard of any Everglades in Italy.
Meredith Poor He is secretely addicted with Gator Meatballs Pizza and desired to spread it worldwide... 🤣🤣🤣
Pineapple is so good on pizza especially with jalapeno.
Alex Gregg😣 no, just no
I've had Hawaiian pizza with chili sauce on it, but not jalapeno. I'll have to try it!
YES
Jalapeno is the single best pizza topping. Unfortunately I am allergic to pineapple so I can't agree or disagree with you there.
3:29 that’s a map of Naples Florida, not Naples Italy
Good eyes. I wasn't even looking at it.
The Trashman2.0 lol I'm like and hour from there right now
Yes... that's the joke.
close enough
I had heard that pizza became popular shortly after World War II when GI’s who served in Italy came back to the US and wanted more Italian dishes to eat. This would not only lead to the growth of pizza but also products liked canned pasta dishes, boxed pizza meals and various pasta and sauce is sold and grocery stores
“Sunday macaroni” that’s one of a hilarious word.
Start of the video: "Who invented Hawaiian pizza?"
*2 minutes later*
"Now let's fast-forward a little. Mount Vesuvius leveled Pompeii on August 24, 79 AD."
These really are just streams of consciousness, aren't they?
Should watch Business Blaze…lol
It's official; we need a video of Simon singing "That's Amore"
A-mor-eh = amorous love
There is a decent reason that both tomatoes and potatoes were thought to be poisonous - they are both in the nightshade family though they don't carry enough of the active toxic ingredient.
Yet, they still smoked cigarettes
Ever heard of solanine? Potatoes make it when exposed to excessive sunlight. Makes you terribly sick. Makes them turn green under the skin
TL;DW
Hawaiian pizza was invented by a Greek Canadian.
Yeah lol and some unrelated stuff about a queen and the origins of pizza.
he was actually a Canadian Greek ;)
UB3RFR3NZY it's part of the story
HerrStein "...Greek-born, Canadian-bred..." implies someone of Greek origin who was raised in Canada, and so likely would consider themselves Canadian.
A person of Chinese origin in the US would be referred to as 'Chinese-American', so I use the same [origin]-[residence] convention for the Greek-Canadian.
And is a disgusting abomination no matter what the nationality of the person who invented it
RIP Mr Panopoulos, you did good in this world.
Shit like this make me think Enver Pasha did nothing wrong.
The enver pasha comment is a little harsh, but Hawaiian pizza is an abomination
You deserve to be sent to Scotland for that
3:30 Naples Florida? Didn’t know Naples Italy took pizza ideas from Florida haha
I expected this comment to be the most popular one
bruh
That was throwing me too
I saw that as well😂😂😂 Good video though
noreaction I was only listening while working on stuff! That's hilarious!
Lol I love that the picture of Naples on a map is Naples Florida, not Italy lol
Like Americans are much better...
th-cam.com/video/s4SUtjhfU9o/w-d-xo.html
Congrats on being one of the two people making a new thread about the Naples, Florida joke who actually got the joke, OP. I salute you!
I'm more interested in finding out, when did people started hating on the Hawaiian Pizza? It seems to me that this is a very recent thing. I don't recall hearing so much hate about it10 years ago. Maybe their first encounter with eating one was the pineapple used wasn't ripe or of low quality. It also sounded to me that this hate was brought about by peer pressure and they just couldn't admit to their friends that they liked it since most of them were vocal about hating on it even though it wasn't bad at all.
Yes, its relatively recent. between 10 and 20
Nope. There's a comment in a 1990 episode of Australian soap Neighbours where a character notes that Hawaiian pizza is "disgusting".
@@codyw1 Not a popular opinion though. "They found in 2018 alone, some 5.7 million Hawaiian pizzas were ordered, making it in the top 4 of pizza choices in Australia. A massive 2.2 million Aussies requested MORE pineapple toppings be added to their pizza, while only 184,494 people requested they be removed. Their conclusion? Aussies are a fan of this tropical fruit on pizza, whether you like it or not. --- www.taste.com.au/articles/australias-most-controversial-pizza/24kr03y9
No. It's people with functioning taste buds, and/or people with a background in Italian cuisine. Try giving that shit to a dude from Naples. Yeah, good luck.
What's even worse than pineapple in pizza? Saying "Amore" with 2 syllables.
Sorry, Simon. It's pronounced, "That's A-Mor-AY" (like the eel, which would be frightening when you mistake the moon for it)
Proud Canadian and a lover of pineapple on pizza (just no ham, I'm vegetarian!) . A great combo is pineapple, mushrooms, green pepper, and olives - sweet, sour and salty - yum!!
you know how cheese is made right?
You should add some jalapeños
But who invented the Oaxacan burger? Meat, cheese, fried ham, pineapple ring, jalapeno.
The second time they show a map image locating Naples they use the map for Naples Florida.
In the early '90s I went to Western Samoa for hurricane relief, we rebuilt some roads, bridges, and schools. While there, I tried Hawaiian pizza with American cheese. I guess it was due to the cost of refrigerated transport as even the milk was the shelf-stable kind. Believe it or not, it was great!
map of Naples, Florida at 3:30. lol
If you don't like it just don't fucking order it.
freaking thank you
You're a barbarian that doesn't know how to meme. Fuck you, Dan. Fuck you.
Space Leopard maybe he’s not TRYING to meme? Ever thought if that huh?
Don't tell me how to live my life you shitpizza eating snowflake
Finally someone understand
"Getting off the boat in Naples, Italy"
1:01 - Map showing location of Naples, Italy
"This all brings us back to Naples"
3:30 - Map showing location of Naples, Florida
Simon, Dean Martin pronounced "amore" a more ay (long a) not a' more.
Every time he attempted speaking anything italian he embarrassed himself.
No no no. A-more-eh.
I found this fascinating and educational. That stated, why do Brits feel compelled to aggressively mispronounce romance languages? “Amore” has three syllables. Even if one didn't know the general rule that Italians pronounce the final vowels of their words, all one would need to do would be to listen to Dino singing the damn song!
Simon mispronounces words pretty often. he doesn't seem to read these scripts ahead of time to get his context right, and frequently uses alternate pronunciations for other contexts
I went to a summer camp that had a fair amount of Canadians. We were having a pizza night and a bunch of us wanted Hawaiian and said it was pineapple and Canadian bacon (how it we always saw it on the menu). When it arrived the Canadian kids were saying that it wasn't bacon and we asked what they called it in Canada and this kid says "ham, we just call it ham".
We call it "peameal bacon", not ham or Canadian bacon
3:30: Wrong Naples shown on the map! That is Naples, Florida, not Naples, Italy.
I had to scroll a ways down before I found someone else who noticed this (they may have done it intentionally as a joke)
Nipples
Yes that's the joke
I was checking too, before I commented. Simon Whistler is smart as a whip and I'm guessing the map was probably an Easter egg for intelligent people. It is undoubtedly a joke!
3:33 That's Naples, Florida.....
NolePtr unless they have Everglades in Italy
After a long day working outside, I sit down with a piece of pizza and a beer, pull up YT, and this video is at the top of my Recommendations... I’m sure it’s just a coincidence and not Google being creepy...🤣
Somebody never heard That's Amore. It is pronounced Am-or-ay
The map showed at 3:29 is a map of Naples, FL. Not Naples Italy.
I love Hawaiian pizza. Just saying.
It says Florida so I think they knew, they just used the first stock image they could find lol
Ok, I'm Italian and for me it's disgusting only to see, but if you like it's not a problem
To make a Hawaiian pizza taste good you must drain the pineapple and squeeze out all the juice, then you need to place it on the top of all other ingredients. This method caramelizes the fruit and prevents the juice from getting the crust soggy and sour.
A beautiful, creative, culinary genius.
Using a map of Florida instead of Italy when discussing Naples is hilarious
If you've seen one Naples, you've seen them all! 🙂
I love, love, love Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple is one of the rare fruits that works well with fat and meat. One of my favorite custom types is ham, pineapple, and anchovies with extra cheese.
You should try some applepineapplepie. ;)
not a fan of fish on pizza
Blasphemer!!
@@dustoffgeo7613 that's just not possible it's pizza not religion
A Canadian
he should be sorry about all this
You don't like Pineapple pizza? More pizza for me then. 😋
JDM A'F go get your taste buds reset...
Pineapple on pizza is amazing!
Try Hawaiian Suprime.
JDM A'F Hawaiians are wrong.
@ I gave you poop for dinner cuz you wouldn't eat Hawaiian pizza for dinner
I know someone who digs at me for liking pineapple on a pizza (I dont have a Hawaiian myself, I like pepperoni and pineapple) His constant argument is "Who has sweet AND salty?!" - All while standing there scoffing a bag of salted caramel cookies....
Yeah none of this happens
None of what happens? I never have a pineapple and pepperoni pizza? I can't have a hypocritical friend?
None of what exactly?
Sounds like Ers 08 was just being a fly-by douche Shel xD
@@edwardhiggs7671 Meh, guess you get used to it - So many spineless babies like to shout something then cry about it when they realise that the person they are trying to berate doesn't take their shit :)
Pineapple is a delicious fruit. Nothing wrong with adding it to pizza
i've had Hawaiian pizza that even included cashews on it...that was amazing
Do people ever win those sweepstakes on chip bags and soda bottle caps?
I feel the same way about Hawaiian pizza as I feel about anchovy pizza: I can eat like one slice but I'm not actually about to make a meal out of it
2 of my favorite types! I could eat 2 pies of each in a sitting. Anchovy pizza is just so good, that umami flavor makes the sauce pop
@@KA-vs7nl yeah if you can get a really good quality anchovy it's amazing but I can understand the saltiness can overwhelm some people
It's NOT Ah-More, it's Ah-Mmore-AY.
No matter how the real Italian language may pronounce 'amore,' in the song, it's most definitively pronounced Ah-More-AY
Clearly Simon has never heard the song.
I was totally looking for this one comment because I totally saw it...
I was looking for the comment on it. It's embarrassing mistakes like that which make me doubt how accurate these videos are.
I agree. As a narrator he should know, or figure out how to pronounce words correctly.. it's his only job!
Ingen Ting He does do that. Haven't you ever seen they're behind the scenes video on how they make these videos?
So are we all just gonna brush over the fact that the map at 3:30 is of Naples, Florida and not Naples, Italy?
Nope, you're one of the 12 people mentioning it. And one of the 10 people who didn't get it was a joke.
People who freak out about pineapple on pizza have nothing going on in their lives so they cling to phony outrage in order to make their personality seem deep.
You are a monster for mixing cheese and pinapple.
It wouldn't bother me except that people always order it when sharing pizza, in which case just order something that everyone will like pepperoni. There's always a whole box if Hawaiian pizza that nobody wants to eat because someone ordered it as half the pizza but 90% of the people won't eat it. On top of that pineapple juice leaks out all over so you can't just pick it off and eat it without it. Once it's on there and cooked it ruins the pizza.
Nobody is freaking out about anything (ok, Gordon Ramsey perhaps excepted but that's his schtick.) People are just expressing the opinion that pineapple on pizza is a garbage idea. Don't take it personally, hell I had a friend as a kid that preferred to eat dog biscuits to cookies - whatever makes you happy. Myself, I don't like it because I don't care for chunks of pineapple in any form or context. The juice has a nice flavor, though, especially for cocktails.
You want to see people freak out about nothing? Say ketchup on a hot dog is pleasant and enjoyable.
Agreed, the same goes for people obsessed with bacon, it is nice, but get a life, yeah?
@@rubiconnn umm maybe in your house .. in my house every one loves pineapple pizza it's usually the first one to disappear.
You put pineapple on your pizza so nobody asks for a slice, duh.
Its MY pizza, and I will ruin it to make sure it ends up in MYbelly!
exactly what happened at my last gathering
In the Navy, I learned to do the same thing with anchovies and I acquired a taste for it. I would guess one could parade a pineapple and anchovy pizza during a football game and enjoy every slice.
That's what anchovis are for.
God bless Canadian Hawaiian Pizza for our self ^_^
Lol your name is so much more clever now
Why does one of the maps show Naples Florida and not Naples Italy?
3:29 The Naples is Naples FL on the map! I was wondering if there was a Cape Coral in Italy!
I love pineapple on pizza - my standard lineup is pepperoni, pineapple, Canadian bacon, mushroom, banana peppers, and black olives.
THIS MAN PRONOUNCES EVERYTHING WRONG! A-MOR-AY. NOT A-MORE.
If fruit didn't belong on a pizza, we wouldn't have used tomatoes for the base sauce.
HipposHateWater tomatoes are animals
Why was that a map of Naples Florida?
I'm sorry, that was imprecise; I was responding to C M, and then your question, but I can see how you would assume the two parts should be conflated. No insult meant to you, at all; it was a fair question, but I think they definitely meant it as a joke.
ITT: a joke flies over several heads.
So who added the map with Naples Florida pinned instead of Italy? Never been to Italy but the pizza from Southwest Florida isn't too bad.
Lol
Why does everyone hate Hawaiian Pizza? I mean, my sister ordered it all the time (with a few extra bits like black olives and being stuffed crust) and I started eating it... And I love it.
It's literally the only pizza I will buy if I can.
Hey vsauce , Michael here!
Wait,wrong video
Elezer_ Jefferson When will he make another video 😭😭😭
Hawaiian pizza is fucking awesome!!!
ha
Ha
Every WWII vet I have ever spoken to who spent any time in Italy said the Italians had no idea what pizza was, and when explained to them would make something similar to, "soggy bread with ketchup on it". So I'll take the word of more than 100 veterans over your investigation team.
I don't dislike Hawaiian Pizza, but if I have other options I'll take them first. Also I need to remind myself not to watch food related videos at 1:30 am as they always give me the munchies lol!
Commodorefan64
I know EXACTLY what you mean!
Commodorefan64 same!
...You and literally every single person I've had pizza with... It's pretty common for girls to ask for it because calories, diet and all that BS, then again, they always end up just having a single slice of Hawaiian Pizza... after eating a slice with a different topping.
Every time that happens I love telling them: You're just trying to fool yourself into believing that you like Hawaiian pizza.
Anybody notice they put the map of Naples in FLORIDA lol
Pizza as we know it came out in New York City. it may have been a reintroduction but considering nobody remembered the previous iterations, the previous considerations may be a moot argument.
The cool thing about pizzerias is that they could deliver and made them an excellent front for drug operations beginning in the 1950s and especially in the 1960s and seventies.
As for Hawaiian pizza, it is actually my favorite.
My uncle visited (Naples) Neapolis when he was in the Navy he told me it was probably the dirtiest City he had ever been in in his life. It's entirely possible that Samuel Morse could not differentiate the smell of the pizza from the smell of the town.
