"sweet" and "salty" is a good combination i realized about a year ago (when i thought about it).
but "pineapple" type of "sweet" is a mildly acidic type of sweet with some other element as well that i find unpleasant. i never liked pineapples. there is something missing, or else something additional in the taste of pineapples and i do not know what it is.
i like sweet and acid to a degree. i like lemons and grapefruit and oranges, but pineapple has a flavor that i find to be lacking in balance. most fruit is mildly acidic and sweet simultaneously (with the exception of bananas and paw paw etc (which i also do not like), but pineapples seem to have a "metallic twang" to them that displeases me.
anyway, i understand that sweet and salty go together well, even though for my whole life up to the age of about 37, i considered salt and sugar to be unpartnerable (i do not care if i coin words).
i realized it when i started snacking on butter creamed with sugar. it is such a pleasant taste because of the saltiness of the butter combined with the sweetness of sugar.
one of the most divine tastes i have found is buttered dates. i want some now but all the shops are closed.
when i cook pikelets (sweet thicker pancakes) i always add salt (reservedly) now, and it makes them much more tasty.
whatever.. i do not wish to ramble (i have not much to say lately so i ramble), but i do not like pineapple and if i order a supreme pizza i always tell them to not put pineapple on it.

pikelets are known as drop scones most other places in the world.

There is nothing, repeat nothing, manlier than cooking meat on a spit. My favorite is the mexican version, al pastor, that lebanese immigrants brought over.
God damn I want some tacos.
yes that's it!

It tastes great, but shawarma animals look rather weird

A couple of times she has agreed to red onion instead of one of those, but that's very rare.
Do you think she'd like this? This is my local takeaway's pizza called a "greca":

I'm not much for pizza, but I love pineapple and grilled cheese on wholemeal toast.
That sounds pretty good as well, actually. Or even just cheese and onion on toast.

Pineapple chicken salad tastes great too.
You're giving me some new ideas!

In Ontario we have a pizza place called Pizza Pizza.
Indeed you do. I know this because I photographed an outlet (complete with sign) when I was in Toronto in 2008:

I like pizza with pineapple but not if it's the only topping. Pizza with pineapple and a bit of all my favourite meats, plus some mushrooms and onion. Now THAT is an awesome pizza in my opinion.
Yes, you're right there. I just like pineapple to be a topping, not the only thing on there! That would be too much for me!

Pizza must never have onions, mushrooms or the little fishies. Any of these ingredients immediately renders it inedible, and passed on to the nearest dog/bin/human bin.
Very much spot on. I think they're disgusting. Yucky as all hell.

Whenever, but give me enough notice so I can sort the bread maker out.

Really obnoxiously fishy and just horrible. I can't remember the last time I had one but I had to spit them out immediately.
