Ugly Pizza Socks

These socks are for those who like to step on other places culinary creations. 

Even though my home state of California sometimes gets the erroneous credit for the creation of the "Hawaian Pizza" which is something I heard once that it was invented in a strip mall in the Reseda area of the great San Fernando Valley. (pretty much everything Californian's don't like get's blamed on the Reseda/Woodland Hills/Burbank area)

It actually invented in a far more dangerous place. Our neighbors to the north in Ontario Canada. It was invented in the 1960's by a Greek immigrant. The recipe sadly spread to the lower 45 states (I'm exclduing NY/NJ/PA because I no self respecting person from that area will be caught dead grubbing on pizza with pineapples on it. They have standards)

In the 70's and 80's there was rise in the popularity of tiki bars and all things Hawaian.  In the small town of Vacaville California there was a place called the Nut Tree which in the 1970's and 1980's used more Pineapples then Pike's Place Market in Seattle because the restuarant was so popular.  It was a favorite of former Governor George Deukmajian who had the restaurant cater a dinner for Queen Elizabeth when she visited the USA in the 1980's. 

Hawaians did not invent the Pineapple ham pizza.  A true Hawaian pizza would probably have SPAM instead of the ham they call baaaaaoooo (I can't even bring myself to type it) in the North.

However I doubt that has stopped countless people being racist and discrimatory to Hawaians over the years blaming them for the creation of this bizzare pizza recipe.  It has been unwarrented and is wrong.
