People get so upset about pineapple on #pizza. Whatever your take, Hawaiian pizza is a perfect expression of postwar #Canada - produced by migration, consumer society, and new foodways, esp. the rise of restaurants and the turn towards the "exotic" in suburban kitchens. Pizza was virtually unknown in the country prior to the late 1940s.

Check out the pizza Mrs. Brady made for the CBC in 1957 (and how she prononces "pizzeria") for an idea: https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/1402818181 #histodons #history

I also really like this Maclean's article (1955) that underlines just how novel Italian food - except spaghetti (not pizza!) - was in 1950s #Canada. https://archive.org/details/Macleans-Magazine-1955-01-01/page/n9/mode/1up

For more, check out Alex Hughes's fine PhD dissertation, "Lake Effect Pizza: The Commodification and Culture of Pizza in Toronto, Ontario and Buffalo, New York 1950-1990." #histodons #CdnHist https://yorkspace.library.yorku.ca/items/55e9874d-37fb-44a3-95a5-80133211c597
