thicket shadbush (amelanchier spicata)
stone bramble (rubus saxatilis)

Pineapple one pizza is heresy

Pizza shouldn’t be sweet

The citrus of the pineapple blends with the citrus of the tomato so well.

Also spend some time in Hawaii (relatives from there) and they will think you’re culturally degenerate if you can’t mix flavor profiles. Adapt. Survive. Overcome.

Some flavor profiles should never be mixed. It is a law of nature. Defiance makes you a heretic.

Oh man wait until you realize how many different cultures with different foods exist throughout the world

What is that?

Tis a moot point, my friend.

I’m talking about pizza and pineapple, not jelly and beans.

A little narrow for my tastes but to each their own.

What about mango/pineapple pico de gallo on tacos?

Allowed me to proliferate my opinion that is inherently right because it is mine and cannot be wrong and cannot have differing stances and must not ever be conflicted

duh.
