Dessertification (n.)

The peculiarly British practice of taking a perfectly respectable dish, such as a nice bit of pork or ham, and completely ruining it by the addition of some random soft and usually exotic soft fruit, such as pineapple, papaya or mango.

Such crimes against culinary science and general taste and decency are not normally tolerated in other civilised parts of the world, except in Hawaii, where they invented the ham and pineapple pizza.

Pronounced ‘de-ZERT-if-ication’, and not to be confused with ‘desertification’.
