Weekend Trivia: Did you know that the world owes the Hawaiian pizza to Germany 🇩🇪?

  1. It doesn’t. It came from Canada. We’re not responsible for *all* atrocities in world history.

  2. Hawaiian pizza: introduced in 1962, inspired by Toast Hawaii.

    Toast Hawaii, originally introduced by Germany’s first TV cook Clemens Wilmenrod in 1955.

    Facts.

  3. Almost certainly not. It’s similar to a recipe in an American cookbook called a “grilled Spamwich” and probably brought to Germany by GIs, before being introduced to the German public by a TV chef called Clemens Wilmenrod — he had to slightly adapt the recipe, as Spam wasn’t available in Germany at the time, so he used ordinary ham instead.

    The pizza Hawaii was invented by a Canadian chef called Sam Panopoulos.
