Counterpoint, I have yet to eat a pizza that would not have tasted better with pineapple.

Pineapple is just that fruit, the goat. It improves literally everything it's put with and can be eaten with spices or with dessert.

In fact the only reason I don't eat more pineapple is because it stings my tongue of I eat too much - nature's way of forcing us humans to savor delicacies.

As far as I'm concerned, if the Bible were true and if there really was a fruit that tempted Adam and Eve, it must have been a pineapple.

That's because the bromelain in the pineapple interacts with the proteins of your mouths tissues and convert them into peptides. It's kind of like "digesting" your mouth's walls, which thankfully regenerate quite fast and isn't dangerous :)

I have this problem but only with raw pineapples. I absolutely love grilled pineapples and they don't burn my mouth

For sheer ease of eating, pineapple rates poorly. I am not a street vendor who can carve up a pineapple in ten seconds, and I am always dismayed at how much is discarded when I am done carving it.

Hmm, am I weird if I dont like to put it on pizza and cook it? I prefer to enjoy it as a cold side dish with my pizza.

Sorry but what you're referring to is a fruit pie, not a pizza.

That's a strange view because I've never seen a fruit pie with meat in it. I've seen meat pies with fruit in them though. Also the way you caramelize fruit sugars when baking a pie are quite a bit different than the way you need to caramelize the sugars in pineapple on top of a pizza without also burning the pizza.

Bologna has myrtle berries in it, so I suppose in your way of viewing things it's some sort of fruit loaf.
