Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I'll never just order anchovies, but I don't hate them. If someone mentions that they like anchovies but no one is willing to share a pie with them, I'll gladly split a pie with them.
Conversely to your statement, I would totally eat an anchovi, mushroom, pineapple and jerk mahi mahi pizza :)
Mushrooms always change the texture of the cheese when you take them off. I don't want to notice a mushroom when I eat it. I eat mushrooms in other dishes like a casserole or with steak or beef stew etc. anchovies might be the same way. I tried them plain. But I am rarely picky. If someone serves it, I will eat it.
For what it's worth I believe that mushroom should be sliced thin and thoroughly sauteed before they're put on the pie. They should have a density somewhere around sausage and really shouldn't change the texture of the cheese much if they're done right.
I know a lot of places that just throw raw sliced mushrooms on a pizza and I think that's horrible.
And trovise on the other hand should just be salty with a slight umami flavor. I think the only true consistency problem I see with them is if you get a whole anchovy in your mouth right along your molars, when you bite into it they will be a bit chewy which is not great. Realistically nothing on a pizza should be chewy ;)
Best Hawaiian style pizza is Round Table's Maui Wowie. Ham, bacon, pineapple, green onion with a "Polynesian" style sauce (their name not mine). It's not quite a normal tomato sauce, it's sweeter and slightly spicy. So, so good.
That kinda makes sense bc a Greek guy came up with the sweet Canadian donair sauce too. And pineapple pizza is sweet.
And god bless him for it.
