Mm mm, ham paste :D

Post by: Lwood on September 19, 2006, 04:23:16 pm: I like the fact that you mentioned using UN SWEETENED pineapple, almost all pineapple sold today is sweetened to hell and to me tastes nothing like pineapple..even fresh pineapples have been heavily crossbred until they taste super sweet, which i suppose isnice for the kids, but sometimes I want my Pineapple to TASTE like a pineapple Dammit !
especially for cooking...last time I located some 'old fashioned' unsweetened pineapple I bought half a dozen cans..
Thanks for the recipe , I was just wondering about tonights dinner.. this will be a nice change..

It's an acquired taste. Australians are fed it from birth. We can hack it. We are strong. Americans are pussies. Keep your peanut butter.
