Banana on a pizza actually sounds good though.
Most swedes are legitimately shook when they learn that our pizzas are unhinged compared to the rest of the world. It’s so ubiquitous here we literally don’t reflect on the fact that it could be seen as weird.
Also banana on pizza goes unbelievably hard
Yeah, this actually sounds like a solid combo. I assume it's a sweeter or smokier sauce?
No, just standard tomato sauce. It’s paired with curry seasoning fairly often but not always.
A personal favorite is:
- Beef
- Pork
- Mushrooms
- Bearnaise sauce (suuuper common condiment here, basically as widespread as mayo or ketchup)
- Banana
- Onion and/or bell peppers
In lots of tropical countries in Africa and the Americas, you see plantains as a major presence in cooking. They're like a barely-sweet, starchier banana and I suppose they'd fit this niche well.
I wouldn't order it but I can see how it could work with the mix of sweet, savoury and aromatic.
I could also see it being really terrible as well.
Sweden has great food, crayfish, aquavit, meatballs, everything they do with cakes and candy. Even their Max burgers are better than McDonald's. But I have one general complaint against Swedish cuisine and that is that it is too sweet. They add sugar to everything, bread, hot mustard, cold cuts. Everything there is so sugary. If they could just keep the sugar away from where it didn't belong they would be doing great.

That's my number 1 complaint about Korea right now too.
Ok, curry and salt p*rk, maybe fine, but banana, well I mean, I mainly recall filipino spaghetti using banana ketchup, maybe it'll mesh well though I dunno if hot banana on pizza directly is good
rest of article on Swedish cuisine
Since the 1960s and ’70s, Sweden has had a deep interest in Polynesian flavors, like bananas and pineapple, which were introduced in Swedish cookbooks to inspire home cooks. “Deep-fried bananas served [with] steak [or] veal [is] an early dish from the 1960s served at some restaurants,” Tellström says. “Bananas could be served along with ham, as a fancy dish for a Saturday night with the family watching TV. In the ’70s, a simple, everyday dish at home could be sausage filled with tomatoes, pineapple, mustard and ham. In the ’80s, deep-fried bananas [were] a common dessert at Chinese restaurants, and then served with ice cream and ginger syrup. You could use the new microwave to make an ‘Oriental chicken,’ a dish with chicken, curry, bananas and peanuts.”
This is Polynesian flavor to them? What?
One especially peculiar dish introduced in the 1970s is a casserole called the Flying Jacob, made with chicken, chili sauce, bacon and bananas, all topped with peanuts. A Swedish air-freight worker by the name of Ove Jacobsson concocted the surprising dish in 1976, when he haphazardly mixed together ingredients to have something to bring to a summer potluck. His neighbors, including Anders Tunberg, the editor of Allt om Mat (“All About Food”) magazine, enjoyed the hot dish, and Jacobsson’s recipe appeared in the September 1976 issue of the publication, ultimately leading to its nationwide popularity.
For the curious, it’s fairly easy to find banana curry pizza throughout Sweden. “Pizza in Sweden is in between street food and restaurant food,” Tellström says. “We have a lot of pizza shops in Sweden, probably more than there are McDonald’s, and there are plenty of those. Small villages in Sweden have pizza shops, and the pizza shops are familiar with this style, generally serving it.”
Many pizza shops end up adapting, understandably so, to what customers are asking for. “The pizza shops here are usually run by immigrants from Greece, Iran, Iraq, so they adapt this Swedish style of pizza,” Tellström explains. “If you go to a Swedish pizza shop, you can probably choose between 75 and 100 different pizzas. You can always do your own mixture of toppings on it, as well, so you choose your favorites, and that usually doesn’t cost anything extra.”
I don't know if it's good or worse that they prefer Swedish pizza over McDo. I mean, at least toppings of choice, with no extra cost
Kebab pizza, with kebab meat, pepperoni, yogurt sauce and vegetables, is another popular pie in Sweden. Ham is a common topping, too, sometimes with pineapple, mushrooms or even shrimp (for a little Swedish surf and turf).
Hmm... more conventional, I might try
I don't know overall if this makes Swedish cuisine cooler or not. I mean, it's striking to say the least, compared to the rest of it.
Kebab pizza
You can get that in most kebab places, its pretty popular where I live.
what no sunshine does to a mfer
Humans weren't meant to live the artic, it makes them go funny and start doing strange things like eating rotten fish or putting disgustingly clashing flavors on their pizza.
disgusting
I bet it's good tbh
Probably. Would I try it? If freely offered, sure.
thought that was an absurd Discworld joke
It's as real as Swedish fish and Swedish disc crackers with holes in them
If you can imagine a phish fan eating it then no matter how it sounds it’s actually good.
it's probably better than i imagined a traditional Swedish pizza would be:
- onions
- dill
- potatoes
- cream / mayo based "sauce"
- fermented herring
i picture the overall appearance of such a pizza to have the same color palette of a cadaver being pulled from the Baltic sea on a grey, winter morning.
It sounds pretty good ngl. The fermented herring mayhaps not.
That sounds like a German potato pizza minus the fish.
What you described is almost a Swedish dish. It's sour cream, never mayo, and it's served on a buttered flatbread. If you replace the fermented herring with pickled herring it's probably really good.
Swedish pizza is a different thing and Swedish kebab pizza is heaven-sent but the banana and curry monstrosity is atrocious.
