The photos of a strange snack spread on Reddit and social media, puzzling hundreds of netizens. Several users joked that it would be best for Italians not to see this.
The photos show pizza slices used as bread to form a sandwich with grilled meat and sauerkraut, ironically captioned «Fusion cuisine,» and uploaded to the r/Polska subreddit.
Users claim that this is a popular serving option in Poland.
Sauerkraut turned out to be one of the biggest surprises. Commenters noted that the combination felt extremely unusual, though the idea is not that strange in Polish cuisine. Sauerkraut is often served with meat, sausages, and other hot dishes, as its sour taste pairs well with fatty foods.
«This subreddit deserves to be featured on r/PizzaCrimes [a subreddit dedicated to ‘crimes against pizza’],»
«Is the author pregnant?»
«What’s to dislike here, skeptics? It’s got protein, it’s got vitamins. A balanced diet — Polish edition,»
«At least there are no pineapples,» users wrote in the comment section.
Several other users noted that the combination makes sense — sauerkraut adds crunch and cuts through the richness of the meat. The internet just wasn’t ready to see it on a pizza.
Nevertheless, the combination would seemingly have been received more calmly in Kazakhstan and other CIS countries. Sauerkraut has not been a surprise for anyone for a long time and is often paired with meat and dough.
Notably, sauerkraut is considered beneficial due to its high content of vitamin C, fiber, and probiotics — beneficial bacteria that support digestion.
