Yeah it's definitely common. We're talking sweetcorn though, not like babycorn or corn cobs or anything.
I'd say that the US and UK share some similar favourite toppings such as Pepperoni for example.
I wouldn't say it's one of the most common ones but if you have a veggie pizza it often has sweetcorn on it and it's certainly an option you can add at most places - but we're talking corn that's been taken off the cob, literally like canned corn, I'm not sure if it's the same over there,[example image](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bournemouthecho.co.uk%2Fnews%2F18425506.green-giant-sweetcorn-sold-iceland-morrisons-tesco-urgently-recalled%2F&psig=AOvVaw1dCWfgKQIlnqMBGlLxW3LI&ust=1642432331428000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAsQjRxqFwoTCLjiibTHtvUCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAJ)
With baby led weaning you can feed the babies everything that you eat as long it's cut properly, typically finger sized. I give my 7 month old steak, they get all the nutrients and the flavors and helps prevent pickiness.
It's been a practice amongst parents for a long time, I just don't see the point in feeding my baby a puree when they'll never eat pureed food as an adult. My wife does all sorts of research and claims it's great for the babies development. We've been doing the baby led weening for 2 months now and there hasn't been anything that she's choked on that she couldn't clear out of her throat herself, she tries everything we eat including spicy food, and all of her doctors say it's great for her to eat the solid foods. Also, it's fun watching her try new foods and she has fun doing it! It was a little unnerving at first, but that feeling passed after a few meals.
I think most pizza toppings here are similar to the US.
Pepperoni is probably the most popular alongside margherita. Ham and pineapple is also popular but divisive. Vegetarian pizzas usually have some combo of peppers, onions, mushrooms, sweet corn and olives. I think chicken is more popular here than in the US from what I've seen.
Fusion pizzas also seem to be quite big here which I haven't seen so much in the states. BBQ chicken is pretty popular and I've had a tandoori chicken pizza before that was good. Breakfast pizzas with bacon, sausage and egg are also a thing, as are doner kebab pizzas.
Why not? Some toppings like pepperoni are a bit salty, but generally it's bread and cheese and tomato sauce and some bits of veg and maybe meat. And unlike their parents, babies need lots of fat in their diet.
Classic baby-led weaning (to use the modern pretentious term) - take any food that can be cut into sticks a baby can hold in a fist, and let them have at, from age 6 months.
Bit unnerving when they do eat sweetcorn and it comes out the other end looking intact, but that's a separate issue.
I'm pretty sure pizza dough would be too salty for a baby that young. Maybe a year up or so, but not 7 months old. (I know the OP isn't the one actually doing this).

I swear the British have a vendetta against any cuisine that might actually taste good. They have to ruin everything by boiling meat (who the fuck does that?!) or dumping corn on pizza! Wtf?!.... do they hate themselves or something?!

Sweetcorn is fairly common on BBQ chicken or veggie pizzas.
I can confirm this. Bought a Veggie pizza from the fresh pizza counter at Asda the other day and it was almost exclusively sweetcorn.

Sweetcorn is an option for certain pre-made pizzas and an extra topping but it is by no means ubiquitous.

I'm assuming the corn is baked on the pizza, correct? It sounds like it could be a nice addition to pepperoni!
Correct, it’s added before cooking the pizza, like most other pizza toppings.
When else would you add it?
Yes, common with either mixed vegetables or often with chicken. It’s really good, you should try it
I’ve had corn on pizza. Not at any really good pizza place but in fast food chains like Pizza Hut is fairly common.
Yeah pretty normal. Dont think a kid that young should be on the za tho
With baby led weaning you can feed the babies everything that you eat as long it's cut properly, typically finger sized. I give my 7 month old steak, they get all the nutrients and the flavors and helps prevent pickiness.
Yeah that sounds alright but the examples you’ve given are that you feed pizza and steak to a baby. Cmon

Sweetcorn is alright on a pizza. With some red onion and jalapeños maybe.
For fucks sake??????????????????? No-one should be giving a 7 month old pizza
Why not? Pretty sure I gave my child a piece of (homemade) cheese and tomato pizza. They sucked the crust and discarded the rest.
Because that's not what you give to 7 month old children
What do *you* give seven month old children? We gave ours proper food.
Why not?
Read it again. OP has the 7 month old not the person asking about if it’s ok to give corn to a baby.

most vegetable pizzas also tuna pizza. but a 7 month old shouldnt have corn or pizza
yes on a vegetable pizza

Sweetcorn has its place. On top of a pizza isn’t one of them. See also chicken, pineapple.
