I kind of lump eggs in with dairy, because they occupy the same fridge space and usually come from the same farms as the milk. So, the milk and eggs at my local store are all from the same Yorkshire dairy. Consequently they kind of occupy the same thought space for me.

But I wouldn't categorise eggs as dairy for dietary purposes.

And wtf? Pineapples bear no similarity to citrus fruit. And pineapple chunks go great with cheese. As do grapes; particularly with bree. And apples, particularly with cheddar. ...


Don't like citrus fruit with cheese. That totally doesn't work. So it's probably as well that pineapples aren't remotely citrusy.

So it's not a cultural thing. Has anyone else heard that macdonalds ad? Has anyone else heard of people thinking the were citrus fruit? Apart from Shawnee, who gets a pass 'cause she's special. maybe it's an ohiaiaiaian thing. isn't it weird how Hawaiian and Ohiaiaian sound similar and yet.....

Or pulpy fruits. How do pineapple bear NO resemblance to citrus? Pulp. Acid. Juicy. Fibrous. Core. Only thing different is the exterior and we know not to judge a fruit by its cover.

Because seriously, citrus is a word we all know. I wasn't taught they were bromeliad and citrus is such a nice citrusy word. I would think of pineapple as a citrus due to pulp and acid and an inedible exterior.

You don't hear about Bromeliad air fresheners with the power of Pineapple.

So I learned something completely new today.

Eggs? Dairy? No. They're just eggs.

Ohhaihaian. It's a little known fact that Ohio was originally an Hawaiian island. No one thinks that because we don't have the same pulp or the acidic value. Some people actually think we're 'midwesterners.' HA!

Bromeliad's not a very sexy word. I gave the same frend a bromeliad houseplant for Christmas. that's how the word was in an accessible part of my consciousness, I think...

all i know is S123's chicken pineapple recipe is da B.O.M.B.

that's weird. pineapples don't even grow on trees.

people think tomatoes are vegetables, too. people R dum

I didn't know coconuts were a citrus, either.

And bananas are a fleshy meat.

String beans, even though they have strings, actually come from the woodwind section.

'Cause really, people R dum because they don't know weird food classifications? :lol:

Do most people know that bananas grow "upwards"? I did a project on bananas and the teacher informed me that I was mistaken that bananas grow upwards. I wish we'd had the interwebs back then. makes it much a little harder for teachers to be so wrong.

or did I just post that picture upside down by mistake? :lol:

all i know is that if it tastes good? immona eat it.

you're quite correct.

people R ignorant. (including me, okay? this is not directed at you--just messing around)

did you know that a banana is actually an herb? and that they are all clones?

jinx told me that. i did not fact check her.

I knew they were clones -there's a danger of disappearing altogether because if there's a banana blight there won't be resistant strains because they're all the same.... or something. But I didn't know they were herbs and when I googled that it seems that the plants are herbs rather than trees, but bananas are still a fruit.

hmm, according to WikiP, pineapple does contain citric acid. It is pretty sour, so I can see where the similarities are.
