Figs are the best. It's even Biblical.

>>12783639
why would people on the coast hate pineapple wtf

honeydew melon, baby

>>12783650
Man, love me some figs. I make a quick glaze with them and brown sugar and vanilla and drizzle it over my oatmeal.

>>12783639
No bite to it, pineapple is boring shit. It's not bad, but oranges are much better.

>>12783689
pineapples are made acidic dog all they have is bite i don't know what you're fuckin talkin about

>>12783639
Why would coastal people hate pineapples? I don't see the connection.

>>12783639
I've more of a citrus guy, but I buy fresh pineapple and slice it up every other month or so

>>12783700
Pineapple doesn't fucking have bite. It's mild as it gets. You don't feel your tongue sting from pineapple juice unless you have some sort of rare genetic disorder.

>>12783722
it has nothing to do with your own genetics
it's literally an enzyme the pineapple has
i used to work with them all fucking day
shit breaks down proteins both in your mouth and outside

oranges don't have that shit

>>12783735
I'm talking about having a bite to it, not whether it has an enzyme that breaks down proteins in your mouth.
Pineapple doesn't have any bite to it.

>>12783722
>oranges have more of a bite than pineapple
Is your tongue defective? Pineapple are more acidic than oranges by a good deal. Here is a list for you by PHs.

lemon juice (pH: 2.00–2.60)
limes (pH: 2.00–2.80)
blue plums (pH: 2.80–3.40)
grapes (pH: 2.90–3.82)
pomegranates (pH: 2.93–3.20)
grapefruits (pH: 3.00–3.75)
blueberries (pH: 3.12–3.33)
pineapples (pH: 3.20–4.00)
apples (pH: 3.30–4.00)
peaches (pH: 3.30–4.05)
oranges (pH: 3.69–4.34)
tomatoes (pH: 4.30–4.90)

when's the last fucking time you bit into an orange and you honest to god were like
'wow oh boy that sure does have a bite to it'

>>12783749
What the fuck do you mean by "a bite to it" then? Can you articulate it in any other way?

>>12783760
>>12783761
>>12783766
If that's the bite, why the fuck are grapes so much higher on that list than oranges? You cannot seriously tell me grapes sting your tongue at all.

>>12783789
do oranges honestly sting your tongue anon

also i would like to clarify the acidity isn't what makes pineapple sting
it's specifically that enzyme I was talking about
even though pineapples are higher on that list

pH isn't food acidity you retards. You can have a low pH and nearly no acid content or a moderately low pH and a very high acid content.
Grapes obviously aren't more acidic than oranges. You all just pretended that was true based on a chart you misunderstood instead of checking against actual common sense experience.

Wouldn't they hate or fear the grapefruit?
90% of them are on medicine and grapefruit messes with all of them.
Nor would they like the tangy and bitter taste.

>>12783807
i hate this i never cared about the acidity i'm losing my mind

i just want to know what kind of gamma ray hit this man has that makes his tongue sting when he eats oranges but not pineapple

>>12783802
>do oranges honestly sting your tongue anon
Yes, they sting most everyone's tongue. Not in a way that's crippingly painful and makes you avoid it, but it's very noticeable. Especially if you have chapped lips or a tiny cut on them.
It's pleasant, not unlike how carbonation's bite in a soda or the menthol in a cigarette or the sting of wasabi (or whatever fake green mustard they pass off as wasabi at sushi places in the US) all give you a pleasant string (each in its own different way of course).

>>12783807
Pineapple contains more acid than oranges you tard.

>>12783830
They sting your tongue and pineapples don't? Despite pineapples being more acidic and containing more acid and having a particular enzyme that heightens the effect.

>>12783639
I’m an east coaster and pineapple is one of my favorite fruits why don’t you think coasties like pineapple

>>12783830
that's citric acid and the pleasant part is subjective

i agree that i generally like it but i wouldn't call it a sting by any means unless it gets in a cut

the wasabi at sushi places in the US is often just horseradish that's been dyed green because wasabi is a fickle, expensive crop

still don't know how you have more of a reaction to oranges than pineapples though

Moronic threads and the people who love them.

coasties will never understand the complexity of pineapple

>>12783860
fucking based.
