For some reason it’s difficult/impossible to ‘jellify’ pineapple with gelatin.

I’ve always liked this dish. I wonder if the pineapples are even from Taiwan, though.

It’s a good street name, ‘Pineapple Row 8’

It’s covered by Wapo too.

Wasn’t he a Muslim too? Ma is short for Muhammad.

His family claims to have been around since the Tang dynasty, so it’s unlikely the surname came from being Muslim. There are historical figures with the Ma last name since Han dynasty.

C’mon man, just go along with the Obama joke.

Also, he looks middle eastern.

because pineapples have bromelain enzyme in them which destroys the gelatin protein.

Yellow, white, sweet and sour,
Pineapple, pineapple, pineapple go!

And the only sound that’s left
After the ambulances go
Is Cinderella sweeping up on
Pineapple Row

I wonder if Taiwanese Pineapples are better at removing your fingerprints.

I was born in a trunk.
Mama died and my daddy got drunk.
Left me here to die alone
In the middle of Pineapple Row.

Grow up in rusty shack
All I had was hangin’ on my back.
Only you know how I loathe
This place called Pineapple Row
