Chamında Jayanetti shared a screenshot of the recipe on Twitter, captioning it “BREAKING: The BBC declares war on Italy”.
The recipe in question?
Hawaiian Spaghetti.
Just when we thought we’d never have to hear the ‘pineapple on pizza’ debate again, there’s a new culinary question.
The recipe is introduced as a “family-friendly pasta recipe that makes the most of tinned foods”.
“If your kids love Hawaiian pizza, then this ham and pineapple pasta is a great twist to try for a quick mid-week dinner,” it continues.
Mixed in with the pasta is tinned ham cut into cubes and a tin of pineapple chunks.
“THEY ADD THE PINEAPPLE JUICE,” Jayanetti added in a later tweet.
Hundreds replied to the thread with their own confusion and opinions on the mind-boggling mess of ingredients.
Others shared how they had spruced up the recipe, which currently has a 1.5 star rating on the website.
One alteration included adding a tin of tomatoes to the pasta.
So I guess we’re back at Hawaiian pizza after all.
