TIL a Canadian from Greece took an American version of an Italian dish and added tropical fruit to it and called it a Hawaiian pizza.

A fruit native to Brazil. We call it "pizza hawaii" in the Netherlands and it's tasty. Ananas, ham and cheese, perfection I say, pizza puritan snobs be damned.
I'm not too sure if pineapples are native from the lands currently controlled by Brazil, Paraguay, or both. The Amerindians farmed them quite a bit, so they spread even to to a chunk of North America; and the native range of a relative hints me that the genus originated further west.
That's just a guess though - the point is that nobody knows for sure.
I personally cannot stand pineapple on my pizza (despite wanting to like it). And really do not care what other people put on their food.
I can eat a can of pineapple right now. You can have the rest of the pizza. :)
pineapples are farmed a lot in Hawaii, though.
Nowadays the main pineapple fields on Maui are used to make liquor
I feel one day people will learn to appreciate Brazilian pizza. We're not in that time yet though.
