I had to finish it off, nobody else around here eats the stuff and it is past its use by date.

I get a weird wrinkly feeling in the roof of my mouth from tomatoes and bananas, is that unusual?

U're meant to take the skin off before U eat Pineapple!

mmmmm... acid-y.

my "gf" gets that feeling from bananas, avocado, nuts, like an itchy mouth

NDRU said:

I'm OK with avocados and nuts

I wonder if bananas (not really VERY acidy are they?) and tomatoes have something in common, cause my reaction is identical from those 2.

The pineapple burn is somewhat different I've still got the sensation an hour later, it really is like I ate pizza too hot!

Amaxx said:

no I very carefully peel off all the yellow soft parts

ZombieKitten said:

for her it's more of an allergy to certain raw foods. I think the riper the banana the more likely it'll happen. Same with raw nuts vs roasted. The raw ones are what will do it.

I can imagine the sensation when I eat raw nuts, esp walnuts, but I hate to think that I would be allergic to a banana or tomato!

I'd hate to be allergic to avocadoes and nuts
I still eat bananas and tomatoes, despite the sensation - I'm more prone to the wrinkly sensation the more UNripe the banana is!

you're a pineapplaholic these days!

Gawd, I thought I was bored...

Hang on! Does Kylie know U have Her chair????

I cut up a fresh pineapple last night, cut big wedges of the fruit and grilled them

Val does that all the time, she is a pineapple fiend

ZombieKitten said:

oops that's what I meant, the UNripe!

How much is so much?

sextonseven said:

about 200g? hard to say, it was ready cut-up, so I couldn't say how much of one pineapple it was

ZombieKitten said:

Bananas and tomatoes are high in potassium. Pineapples are only moderate, but since you ate so much, that might be why you got a similar sensation in your mouth.

sextonseven said:

it was a different sensation, not unlike recovering from a hot pizza burn. I can still feel it today! it's probably enzymes that broke down my tongue

ZombieKitten said:

Maybe U shoud stop using the Hubbies' razor as a toungue scraper!

ZombieKitten said:

The enzymes ate away at your tongue? It sounds like this movie I saw once when I was around eight years old:

In the movie a group of people were shipwrecked on an island and the water surrounding the island had the flesh eaters in it. One devious guy gave some other poor bastard a drink with some flesh eaters and after he drank them he was eaten from the inside out! Watching it as an eight-year-old, I was horrified.

Pineapple is disgusting

sextonseven said:

my kids watched cody banks the other night, and the evil guy had a frozen block of nanobots thrown into his mouth and he screamed as his insides were eaten away, and his head caved in.
I really should have looked this movie up before letting them see it, but it was on during a normally SAFE time-slot when stuff like chicken little is on.

Billmenever said:

actually my husband ate what I left over and he was unaffected

ZombieKitten said:

He obviously uses his razor 4 shaving & not tongue scraping!

Amaxx said:

he fished out the bits I'd cut off out of the compost

ZombieKitten said:

That sounds gross. What did the kids think?

Flesh Eaters was on in the middle of the afternoon when I saw it in the 70s. I think my babysitter thought it was funny.

Oscar was sure he would have nightmares, he didn't
There is also a gross scene in Ben10 the movie where a guy who is nearly wasted away to a skeleton is still alive they didn't like that much either. I don't know why a movie needs to have SUCH horror, the rest of the film was entertaining enough

My babysitters let me watch Planet of the Apes much to my parents horror
