Pineapple, canned corn, and tuna are all very nice pizza toppings (although maybe not all of them at once).  ;D

Wait, like...canned tuna? Wow. Never in a million years would it ever occur to me to put that on pizza. Are there pizza places that do this? How did you discover this? Of all the stuff so far in this thread, this is what boggles my mind the most.

I remember the first time we went to London (*cough* 25 years ago...), we saw tuna and corn pizza for sale.  And boggled.  I could almost see tuna with an alfredo sauce base.

I think if you're not prepared to pay for your pets medical expenses, you shouldn't have a pet.

This is gospel amongst my friends.  Was why I held off on getting a second cat for so long - I knew I couldn't afford the vet bills.

I love pineapple on pizzas. Also anchovies. Don’t like canned tuna on anything. Don’t like yoghurt with sweet stuff or on its own though it’s fine on savoury stuff (like on a roast spud, in tzatziki dip or with a curry).

In a sports mad nation, I don’t like sport - watching or playing it. One exception is the figure skating (something that gets limited airtime here). Did go to the Olympics when they were in Sydney but only for a day with some friends. And didn’t go for the sports most of my fellow Aussies were keen for - checked out the dressage, archery and a baseball game. Had fun but more as a social occasion and one off experience than something I’d really want more of. Another exception is if a friend of relative’s kids are playing. Happy to go along and cheer (if I can figure when to do that).

Not into any of the superhero movies. May try to watch Wonder Woman now it’s on Netflix because everyine says it’s so good but not feeling that keen.

I used to really like pineapple and ham on pizza.  Then, my niece introduced me to pineapple & pepperoni.  It didn't sound appealing when she ordered it, but I tried a piece and it was really good.

I also *like* the various mass-market pizza chains (Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa John's) and tend to prefer them over the smaller local establishments.

- Coffee and I do not get along. That, and I am hyper enough and a major morning person anyway.

- I have liked most cities I have visited...but New Orleans I did not like one bit. It was full of construction, one-way streets, homeless men (all but 1-2 belonging to the main privileged group), and so on. I could not find any of the places I wanted to visit. The convention I attended and the hotel I stayed at were good. But the city itself was not. Even places like Los Angeles and Miami that I would never move to at least I could find something in them that I liked. But New Orleans- you can have it, I don't want it.

- I am not into team sports at all. I still do not understand American football well.
I have pet mice!

Whenever a poster ask for potluck suggestions, one of the first idea is usually pulled pork. I always want to respond with a gag smiley.

I like thin crust pizza and dislike deep dish. I like ketchup on my hotdogs and dislike "kitchen sink" toppings. Chicagoans will understand why those are unpopular opinions ;)

Yup, canned tuna (but dry, you have to get rid of the juices fist). You just plug it apart and spread it over the pizza with a spoon or your fingers. It's quite popular in Germany, usually combined with onions. It looks a bit ugly because of all the grayish brown, but it tastes really good.  :)

It's common enough here that you can even get it frozen. Like this: https://www.mopo.de/image/933110/max/1920/1080/ba3aaf97d85359118aa97c77a9f4d707/FO/sun-7865-jpg.jpg

Tuna doesn't seem all that removed from anchovies, which are an accepted, if not necessarily popular, pizza topping.

I'd be inclined to use tuna that's packed in the pouches, rather than cans.  It tends to be drier (as it's not packed in as much water) and not as over-cooked because the thinner pouches can cook through without over-cooking the stuff on the edges.

Actually, that doesn't sound too terrible.

I don't like french fries.
Or ketchup, mustard, or guacamole.

I like nearly everything else I've ever tried.
