Re: A Pox On All Their Houses
Mustard is a better partner for ham than pineapple. We are getting to the stage that you cannot order ham in an eatery WITHOUT it coming with an unwanted circle of the stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I do not dislike pineapple and I glaze baked hams with sweet/sour things like marmalade. The problem with pineapple is it has no sour notes. It's a pairing for an 8yo, not for adults who grew out of kids' food.
And besides pizzas with ham and pineapple are and should be labelled as 'Hawaiian' so those of us who are not 8 can avoid them. The gluten free pepperoni pizzas with ham strips I occasionally get from the supermarket don't have pineapple on them. I radially arranged the contents of a tin of anchovies over the last one half way through cooking. Delicious.
