Pineapple-topped pizzas leave the president of Iceland cold.

 

菠萝馅儿的披萨无法讨得冰岛总统的欢心。
 

 

In fact, Guðni Th. Jóhannesson says if he could, he'd pass a law banning pineapple from being used as pizza topping in his country.

 

Jóhannesson made the saucy¹ comments to a group of high school students in the town of Akureyri, according to Iceland magazine,

 

One of the students asked Jóhannesson his opinion on this cheesy topic and he didn't mince² words, according to Visier, an Icelandic language news website.

 

The president told the student he was firmly opposed to pineapple on pizzas. He added, perhaps with a tongue in his cheek (not a pineapple), that it is only the fact that he's not allowed to pass laws that is keeping him from banning it entirely³.

 

"I do not have the power to make laws which forbid people to put pineapples on their pizza. I am glad I do not hold such power. Presidents should not have unlimited⁴ power…I would not want to live in such a country. For pizzas, I recommend seafood⁵."

 

He also clarified he doesn't hate pineapple all the time, just on pizza.
