冰岛总统菠萝馅披萨言论惹争议
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 saucy 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 mince 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 entirely.
"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 unlimited power…I would not want to live in such a country. For pizzas, I recommend seafood."
He also clarified he doesn't hate pineapple all the time, just on pizza.
