Pineapple

** Newsflash!! **

Dateline: Right now!

I just ate a couple of slices of a Hawaiian pizza I bought for my girls.

(pause for effect…)

And I liked it.

Yes, I introduced a foodstuff (pineapple) positioned diametrically opposite to my views on the addition of fruit to savoury meals. One I’d purchased outwith the normal weekly shop…

Heck, I even carried the thing up the icy path from the village!

I’m not averse to foodstuffs prepared in challenging ways but pineapple is one of those polarising fruits; tolerable in isolation, downright wrong on a pizza. Or with gammon.*

It would appear that 2016 is shaping up to be a year of experimentation, even compromise.


*Gammon with egg FTW!
