I don't like cantaloupe.

Now in terms of canned fruit I don't see it. There are basically just the 4 options. Peach, pear, pineapple and frooten cottontail. That's all my regular store seems to be offering anyway. I would be interested in more options because the canned fruits that I like have integrated nicely into my tao in recent times.

But in general, cantaloupe, like so many things in my world of extremely fussy food tastes ---> no dice.
 
People really still eat canned fruit? I forgot that it even existed. We ate a lot of canned fruit when I was a kid I guess. Iag is not a fan of fruit cocktail... I like my fruits separate. I do appreciate the little maraschino cherries in fruit cocktail though.
 
Bacon also does not really "get" cantaloupe. In preparing said cantaloupe the seeds are pretty annoying. The cantaloupes are small, and expensive. Cantaloupe seem to be a distant 3rd in the melon battle behind front runner watermelon and 2nd place honeydew which has the same size and seed issues as cantaloupe, but a far superior taste.

Canned fruit looks to be a no across the board, imo BUT IAG brings up a good point on the cherries, they are the only redeeming quality. No IMO necessary there, that shit is fact.
 
I like the canned pineapple quite a bit. I actually had some the other evening as my regular snack. That's saying a lot. My evening snacks are serious business. That's where I bring out the big guns. Friday night is premium ice cream. Other nights: Planters Dry Roasted Peanuts, hot buttered popcorn, super deluxe chips or perhaps dark chocolate covered cranberries. Jalapeno pretzel bits.

That's what you can expect of the evening snack.

Well one evening recently I said, "You know what I feel like having more than anything right now? Pineapple. That would be some tasty."

Usually it's something I have a little Tupperware thing of during the day at work - which is generally a lower level snack. Not every day by any means. You don't want to overdo pineapple. But anyway that evening, pineapple made it to The Show.

pineapple only in pizzas

once upon a time when rogatien was babay he had pineapple juice that almost killed him, was a goner to the doctors only for a shaman to save him, true story
 
I actually bought a pizza yesterday which I will have on Sunday. It is just a 5-cheese pizza which I plan to fortify with chicken, sausage, onion, prolly more cheese - and yes, pineapple.

I'm already having deep and profound feelings about that pizza.
 
You all are just jealous of these cookies that Jenny made me.

It's not good to be jealous. The green-eyed monster Shakespeare called it.

I can understand why you would be jealous. These are some great cookies. It is probably natural to be jealous but still, not good.

Y'all are jealous.
