The hell you say. Candy Canes are peppermint flavored, and they are red and white. Period.
There are some things so perfect that “experimenting” with them makes Baby Jesus cry. Peppermint candy canes. Parmesan cheese. Sweet Iced Tea.
The rest of you are radicals and I bite my thumb at you.
Setting aside for a later date the discussion of Weird Things That Do Not Belong On Pizza…I think that actually this is a good point. Where would homo sapiens be, culinarily, without our knack for endless food experimentation (she asked with a fine rhetorical sweep of her arms)? If it was a brave man who first et an oyster, think how much braver was he who first added cocoa to his coffee? It is not graven in stone that a candy cane must only be peppermint-flavored, the same way it is not graven in stone that a cuppa joe must only be coffee-flavored, and not be embellished with Frangelico, Irish whiskey, or rum.
I think it’s an interesting idea to have candy canes come in all the flavors of those fake “Olde Tyme” candy sticks featured at the Gifte Shoppe at every historic site I ever visited. Repackaging.
Yeah, you probably believe they should ‘experiment’ with cookies and beer at Communion, too. Why do you hate America?

No. They make these “candy canes” in chocolate. I know, because someone gave me one. I haven’t eaten it yet, though, because I forgot it on my desk at work. There are crazy rumors of other flavors, though, which I don’t believe.
You’ll get my exotic candy canes when you pry them from my sticky, dead hands.

When the Revolution Against Those Who Hate All Things That Are Right And Good comes, that’s exactly what we’ll do.

You mean you guys don’t eat this every Christmas?

Without agreeing with the OP, I have to say that you’re wrong here, Qadgop . Pineapple pizza is a crime against Man, God and the Prime Directive!
You don’t say. Pineapple on pizza is the reason why I regret that the inquisition is no longer in business. :mad:

Even better than Canadian bacon (or just plain old bacon to me) is a nice spicy pepperoni, or sausage. The spice and the sweet together is a thing of beauty.
On edit:
Candy canes meh. Who actually eats those anyway? I thought they were purely for decoration.

Word. And why do they call it a “Hawaiian” pizza? Just how much Canadian bacon does Hawaii produce anyway?
The way I heard it was, “It was a brave man who first ate a jalapeño. The second man was even braver.”
I agree. They’re like those icky Peeps, just ornamental candy. Not Intended for Human Consumption.
Dude, that’s two blasphemies in one post. Are we gonna have to show you the instruments of torture to make you repent of your apostacy?
Peeps are for placing on the hood of your car like an ornamanet. If it’s warm it will stay there awhile.
Pigs and pineapples are for pizza, okay? Rule: See Three P O.

It’s just getting impossible to keep up with the blasphemers these days. You apply for a permit to have a simple burning at the stake, and suddenly you have to file an environmental impact report, including estimated quantities of C02 and fine particulate matter released. By the time you’ve finished with all the paperwork, three more heretics have sprung up to replace the one you’re about to roast. Then it’s just work, work, work all the time.

I’ve got fancy sneakers and don’t want you destroying the environment so do don’t waste your time.
I’m also drinking cold red wine because it tastes better that way.

: topples over into the pile of kindling I was assembling :
Though I endure this torture and perish in the cleansing fire, I have dedicated myself to Chocolate, and it will uphold me in my time of trial. Peeps, I renounce you. Get thee behind me, peppermint.

Oh, I do that too!
Does that mean I have to go suck a bubblegum candy cane now?
‘and do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law’
Bubblegum candy canes are the best idea yet.
Would it help if we called them curved canes?
