The internet is filled with the most bizarre of food experiments, many of which invoke intense emotions. The latest addition to the world of odd food experiments is the “banana pizza”.
The recipe for “banana pizza” is uncomplicated. Instead of flour, one simply smashes the banana and cooks it in the pan. One then puts cheese and pizza sauce over it, before cutting its goopy texture with a pizza knife. It appears that the banana pizza invention was made deliberately to invite outrage for engagement, instead of genuine experimentation.
This video was posted on a popular Instagram page, @yourdailydoseofkringe, on April 30 and it has so far raked up over 5,000 likes. An Instagram user commented on it, “That’s not cringe that’s painful”. Another user said, “I heard banana pizza is actually good but I don’t think that’s how you do it 💀 💀 ”.
This is not the first pizza that has irked foodies. A pizza made with ingredients worth $2,000 (approximately Rs 1.6 lakh) had previously got the netizens’ goat. Brooke Baevsky, a Los Angeles-based private chef, baked the exorbitant pizza with high-end ingredients like organic figs, “an entire line of adaptogenic mushrooms”, organic almonds, “sprouted gluten-free flour blends”, a range of oils, and two water bottles worth $30 dollars each (approximately Rs 2,400).
