we substitute ground turkey.

but seriously this is grilled, so it’s manly meatloaf 

( we had a bitchin food thread, I searched, maybe when @Mrs. Peel broke da server it got lost?)

Pineapple? In meatloaf? 

Go wrap some bacon on that thing and we will pretend this never happened.

Try it.. I’m never wrong with 

[Zeke 5,504]

@Bighungry618 could use a bacon weave.

But @Mrs.Zeke doesn’t like bacon wrapped anything! “ it jus tastes like bacon “

Could you use tofu?

and does it really count as grilled when it’s indirect heat and still in the meatloaf pan?

Interesting 

[Mrs. Peel 7,157]

Interesting... indeed. Don't be hurt by what I'm about to say, because I'm delighted that you love your recipe... and yet, I do believe you are on a sad and confused culinary path!

Despite the many "Polynesian" recipes out there trying to mislead us into thinking pineapple should muscle its way into our entrees, pineapple is still ideally a dessert or beverage ingredient. It does not belong in a meatloaf... or, perish the thought, obscenely dressing the surface of an otherwise perfectly good pizza. These uses are... simply wrong... blasphemous... and worthy of some healthy peanut gallery criticism. Let the flaming continue...

 

[WP22 1,558]

I mean, my palate has evolved past the huge slabs of meat warmed up on a grill still reeking of lighter fluid and still dripping blood. But still...fruit with your meat, no way. And that goes for pork and apples, too.

And the closest you'll get me to tofu is edamame which I like a lot frozen or fresh.

Diner tonight was fresh green beans a la Lidia Bastianich with  lemon baked salmon. Watermelon for desert. Should have infused it with some spiced rum, but meh, didn't want to go trough the trouble.

The beans and tomatoes were idyllically free ranging on my back yard until half an hour before I chased them and violently murdered them. The fish was the best some poor, exploited Chilean fish farmer had to offer out of his environment destroying, open ocean fish pens.

And speaking of edamame, I grew a patch of it this year so I could cook my wife childhood's favorite way. She hadn't had it in about 30 years, so why not? 

Anyway, I told y'all all this to say this a) I can grow stuff to eat and could grow more if I had the time, land and a more agreeable climate and b) I can cook what I grow.

With all this being said I still maintain that anybody that mixes in fruit with their food is committing a atrocity and a crime against humanity for all intents and proposes. The only remedy is to banish such offenders to the wilderness.

Wrong,  Just like you're wrong about porkroll.   Unholster that ban hammer if you wish- make me a martyr for the fruity meat followers.

This is fruit and meat.

You sir are guilty of said "crime".

Only fast food eating, chicago style pizza loving, food neophobes, subhumans with unrefined palates and those with Ageusia would say that fruit and meat don't belong together.  I feel for those unfortunate souls.  
i got your culinary back @Zeke. 

[WP22 1,558]

I apologize one thousand times, I squeezed some lemon on my fish. I'll commit seppuku toute de suite.

I'll not apologize, though,  for my contention that the only proper way to have apples in pork is to feed them to the hogs to fatten them up.

I can't have you becoming a martyr for the "fruity people". Perish the thought. Besides, the ban hammer should be swung only when it's LEAST expected... in order to derive maximum impact and strike terror into the hearts of the peasants. As an added side benefit, it keeps those (like yourself) who suspect they are "likely targets" somewhat unnerved for the long days and weeks leading up to very instant the ban hammer is swung. 

Now, go about your business... peddlin' your blasphemous Taylor Ham-hatin', fruit-lovin' ways. Just know that... I'm watching you.

[Bighungry618 450]

@WP22
 

No need, Zeke forgives you. Also, and partially because your a fan of Lidia....I forgive you. 
How about less classic combinations like rotisserie turkey breast finished on the grill in a peach-apricot honey glaze? What say you then? That's what house Hungry had last night over grill roasted broccoli and portobello mushrooms finished VERY lightly with fresh herb infused white truffle oil and smoked sea salt.

My wife knows there are two people i'd leave her for.  1. Lidia Bastianich 2. Alex Guarnaschelli.

Not your Mom’s boring Meatloaf... apparently

I'd try this meatloaf.  I like pineapple, especially BBQ'd pineapple dusted with cinnamon & turned on a spit at Fernandez 3 in Sayreville.  It's a "pre-dessert" served with Rodizio, not a true dessert!  Pineapple & Hog Hunt bacon tooth-picked to a Hog Hunt smoked ham is pretty great too.  Blessed kosher by the local Rabbi

Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc....no fun.

If we're concerned with the unlikely event of an untimely death via home invasion, seems only logical to also be quite concerned with the much more common and likely threats to our well being as well.

I used to ridicule people the same way years ago. But remember, many people have health concerns and good for them for taking care.

And if you're just kidding, sorry for taking you seriously. I mean no offense.

 

[WP22 1,558]

Nah it was just a joke, except the part about tofu and mixing fruit with your meat. That's serious business and should not be done.

Now I have to wade into the fray...because I love a good Hawaiian special pizza!   A cold slice leftover from the night before is also one of my favorite breakfasts.

I mention this mostly because I recently came back from an anniversary trip to Hawaii (I've now visited all 50 states!), and we saw a pizza place that advertised their ham and pineapple pie as a 'Mainland special'.    So maybe it's the pizza equivalent of the 'Texas wieners' that are ubiquitous in NJ, but unknown in Texas.

IIRC Hawaiian Pizza was invented in NY State for a pizza contest (and won).

Also +1 for pineapple on pizza

Fruit does not go with meat or pizza.  Unless you're in Hawaii.  That includes cranberry sauce with turkey or apple sauce with pork chops.

My particular objection was (and is) to pineapple as an entrée.

But you lobbed out a good point...and I'll give you that... despite your unholy, knuckle-draggin',  pineapple-meatloaf-lovin' ways.
