So, a Greek guy in Canada made an Italian staple into something that he thought would represent a Hawaiian cuisine (even though it was just the can, many people naively believe it truly is a Hawaiian dish)
Once someone told me they thought that’s how they ate their pizza over there. Lol.
Nevertheless, if I were in Canada at that time, I would have visited his restaurant and ordered one of the originals. It’s not the best pizza topping but it is also not the worst. (I hate anchovies, fish of any kind or mushrooms on my pizza. Mushrooms are good in other dishes.)
Is any food named after a place ever actually from that place?
Champagne notwithstanding.
Russian dressing. French dressing. French fries, toast, German chocolate cake. Are good examples.
However,
Cheddar cheese is actually from Cheddar (England).
Italian dressing originated in Rome with olive oil and vinegar among some other ingredients like seasonings.
Romaine lettuce came from countries around Mediterranean sea and named “Roman lettuce” from Italian translation. Whoever named it that may have been from Rome or Italian. It was also called that in the other countries, sources say possibly named by someone Greek calling it Roman lettuce.
Buffalo wings are from Buffalo, NY.
French Fries are from Belgium
