Hold the Unsolicited Ingredient	comment	A gag in which a character orders food, then specifically asks that a certain ingredient be excluded, even though that ingredient is either not commonly found or ordered in that food to begin with, or is typically only added on request. A common use of this joke is with pizza and anchovies: Characters will specifically ask for "no anchovies" as if failing to do so would inevitably cause them to appear on the pizza. Exactly why anchovies is hardly ever discussed, though most attribute it to the fact that anchovies are typically served whole, which is more jarring and squick-worthy in many people's eyes than the traditional method of serving separate cuts of fish meat. Onions are another (un)popular choice for use in this trope, especially when ordering sandwiches, largely owing to their distinctively sharp taste, stubborn aftertaste, and pungent smell, the latter of which translates poorly to one's breath following consumption (though they do tend to be a default ingredient of many sandwiches— it depends on the restaurant, of course). Starting in The New '10s, pineapple is getting more attention regarding pizza toppings, owing to a common belief that the flavors of pineapple and pizza are a poor match for one another. Hatred for certain pizza toppings (or food additions) in general probably falls under Stock "Yuck!" or Does Not Like Spam. Compare Every Pizza Is Pepperoni, for when pizza toppings are generally restricted.

Hold the Unsolicited Ingredient / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes had a particular fondness for the "hold the onions" gag: The gag was first used in Pigs Is Pigs (1937) after the giant sandwich is made; the machine holds up a sign saying "Hold the Onions!". In Jungle Jitters, a band of cannibals prepares to stew a traveling salesman, and one of them shows the chef a sign reading "HOLD THE ONIONS". In Wackiki Wabbit, one of the castaways sees his companion as a hamburger and says out loud "And hold the onions." In A Hound for Trouble, Charlie Dog attends to a customer at a restaurant in Italy, who orders spaghetti with "no onionza". In French Rarebit, one of the French waiters holds a sign saying "Hold la Onions" after Bugs puts them in a bowl of vegetables.

Hold the Unsolicited Ingredient / int_43576f5	comment	On Supernatural, there was a version involving not anchovies, but a vampire who was worried that he may have had unsolicited garlic put on his pizza. It lampshaded the unrealisticness of someone who worries about unsolicited anchovies, garlic, or such toppings with the delivery guy's reaction: He impatiently asked, "Did you order any garlic? Then no, there isn't any." A bit more justified than some cases, though it would be more so if he'd demanded to know if there was garlic in the sauce.

Justified, however, since the restaurant knows he usually orders pineapple on his pizza and he doesn't want to ruin Kasia's first experience of pizza (she's a Fish out of Temporal Water princess from the Renaissance).
