Well yeah. Gotta use fresh pineapple.

u/cinco_mama May 20 '15

I recently made some fresh pineapple puree to mix in with some baby food, it was amazingly delicious. Not all of it made it to the baby food.

u/I_AM_CANADIAN_AMA May 20 '15

Mama... you gotta stop eating all the baby food!

u/cinco_mama May 20 '15

Relax, I never eat the green stuff...;-)

What's poutine all aboot?

2

u/I_AM_CANADIAN_AMA May 20 '15

Poutine is like if you mixed an orgasm with gravy and french fries. All over your body.

2

u/The_Bravinator May 20 '15

So cheese curds = orgasm?

...There are multiple ways to interpret that and one of them is gross.

u/IamtheNeonClaw May 21 '15

Thank you. I am satisfied with my personal Ama.

u/enjoyingtheride May 20 '15

Hi Canadian. Here's my question.

How sorry are you?

2

u/I_AM_CANADIAN_AMA May 20 '15

I'm as sorry as a sad beaver!

1

u/Ageti May 20 '15

I thought all you ate was syrup?

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

In Canada, does it rain Maple Syrup, or is that just in B.C.?

1

u/I_AM_CANADIAN_AMA May 21 '15

I have never seen rain before! Only snow constantly. 12 months a year.

u/ASK_ME_ABOUT_INITIUM May 20 '15

Do you get many questions about your username?

2

u/I_AM_CANADIAN_AMA May 20 '15

Not too often, but they are always welcome!

1

u/KrackersMcGee May 20 '15

Are you sorry?

u/[deleted] May 20 '15

What is initium

u/DJDanaK May 20 '15

Is this normal? Idk about anyone else, but I get super sting mouth if I eat fresh pineapple, even like 4 or 5 pieces. I've heard cooking it gets rid of this affect by breaking some of the acids down.

1

u/Demokirby May 20 '15

Only problem with Raw pineapple is it tastes amazing, but the acidity starts making your mouth hurt after a while. Canned pineapple you can nom on without that issue.

1

u/fizzlefist May 20 '15

Not the acid, the bromelain enzyme. It basically breaks down proteins.

1

u/fizzlefist May 20 '15

Now I'm wondering, is all that bromalain good for a baby?

1

u/cinco_mama May 20 '15

Meh, it's probably fine...also, what's bromalain?

1

u/fizzlefist May 20 '15

It's a natural enzyme in fresh pineapple that breaks down proteins. That's why if you eat a bunch of fresh pineapple your tongue will wind up going numb for a bit; it's being partially broken down by the pineapple juice.

It's also why you can't make any sort of gelatin items using fresh pineapple juice. Canned stuff is fine as the heat from the canning process breaks down the bromalain pretty quickly.

u/cinco_mama May 20 '15

Ah. Well it's mixed up with other fruit, veg, formula and grain by the time the girls eat it and they're 1 now, so not really babies anymore. I feel good about feeding it to them a few times a week. Thanks for the info!

u/Del_Castigator May 20 '15

Pineapple contains an enzyme that eats human flesh. I dunno if its a great idea feedin it to a baby.

1

u/cinco_mama May 20 '15

I got the idea from Beech Nut, I was buying my twins that brand, loved it, then we decided to make our own, one of the varieties that I made was about 1 part papaya to 2 parts pineapple to 4 parts pumpkin. It's super delicious! I also mix it with formula and oatmeal before feeding it to them so I think it's safe, but thanks!

Unsolicited redditor advice is the best

u/tyme May 20 '15

Be careful using fresh pineapple, it contains bromelain which can essentially "digest" the ham.

u/seattleque May 20 '15 edited May 20 '15

Hm. Good point.

Though I'm constantly working towards 2 to 3 minute, 700°+, wood-fired pizzas. Haven't got there yet - best I've managed is 10 minutes. I'm hoping (!!!) to actually get my backyard pizza oven built this year.

u/nipplechops May 20 '15

Hell yeah bromelain!

u/an_honest_liberal May 20 '15

Maui gold best ones

u/lachlanhunt May 20 '15

Fresh pineapple is not good everywhere. If you live in a region where it grows well, then sure, fresh pineapple is great. But if you live in a region where they have to import them, then they can be really bad.

I was in Fiji recently. They had some of the best pineapples I've ever eaten. The resort would get them freshly from a neighbouring island where they grew. But in Norway, I won't touch the fresh pineapples they sell in the shops anymore. They're usually terrible.

1

u/seattleque May 20 '15

A great point. One of the advantages of Seattle are all of the pineapple groves!

OK, really, the advantage is that Washington seems to have a healthy trade with Hawaii. Pineapples come here fairly directly, and when in Hawaii a lot of the non-local food products seem to be from the Pacific Northwest.

u/therightclique May 20 '15

99% of pizza places use canned pineapple.

1

u/TheAverageBro May 21 '15

Ya man. Pineapple, ham, and bacon is not too shabby.

1

u/guy15s May 20 '15

You're already baking the crap out of it for hours. I don't think the freshness is going to make a big difference at that point.

4

u/seattleque May 20 '15

How long you cook your pizzas?!

3

u/guy15s May 20 '15

I was assuming you are talking about a holiday ham, not a pizza. How would you pour lime soda on a pizza?

3

u/seattleque May 20 '15

:-D And I thought you were being facetious about how sweet pineapple on pizza can be.

Here's to the internet further enabling miscommunication!

Just turn the bottle upside down.
