Mango in salsa and pineapple on pizza are reasons why Americans deserve Trump as the next president. ---

I agree that pineapple does not belong on pizza (or more specifically on anything with oregano and tomato sauce). Maui style fish tacos however, are absolutely divine however and what is called mango salsa seems to be a necessary ingredient to make them. You do not see a lot of pit posts morph into IMHO, but you dont usually see OP’s written in Klingon either (or what ever language-I couldn’t get through it). ---

> [@inscrutable](#): > > OP: Ask them if they can speak Aztec… I actually know a couple people who speak fluent Nahuatl. As someone who grew up on Germanic and Romance languages, it’s deeply fascinating to hear a non-Indo-European tongue. According to whatever sources Wikipedia came up with, there are around 1.5m Nahuatl speakers, primarily in central Mexico, with dialects that vary enough that some subgroups are entirely unintelligible to one another. Sort of like native American English speakers and the OP. TMYK zing! ---

> [@andros](#): > > No need. Fruit on pizza is a plot to undermine all that is Right and True in the world. I don’t need a birth certificate to know that while pineapple pizzas are undeniably “American” in origin and manufacture, they are diametrically opposed to all that America truly stands for. > > It is known. Fool, you miss all that is best in life. The acid in the pineapples cuts the greasiness of the cheese and pepperoni, and the sweetness complements the savor of the sauce and meat. Pineapple on pizza is brilliant, I tell you, _brilliant!_ Ham on pizza is disgusting, though. ---

My mango salsa came in second and missed first place by only one vote. Considering I was one of the few white chicks in an office full of Mexicans, I thought that was a pretty respectable showing! ---

If you do not like tomatos in your salsa, you can always substitute rutabaga and beetroot. ---
