Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bi…

AKA how to know someone is not from Texas
This reminds me of my favorite Allrecipes exchange of all time: Tailergate Boilermaker Chili^1: >This boilermaker chili is the one the gang eats at Purdue Boilermaker football games. I always prep and cook the chili the night before and then reheat it the next day. This is a combination of many different tomato-based chili recipes. In 2007, a guy from Texas makes it, then complains it's not Texas chile: >Very disappo…

Lifelong Texan, and the attitudes here are really tiresome. After the fall, the neoneolithic tribes will worship whataburger and buccees.
based on the polarizing nature pretty much implies that some people will nonsensical beliefs supporting which ever side they are on when viewed by a neutral but especially when viewed from opposing side.

Hello, We regret to inform you that you are henceforth and forever denied entry into the Italian Republic Cordially, Ministro della Giustizia
We improved burritos, and sushi too. We even put sushi in a burrito and Indian food on a pizza.
You can’t stop us. We will continue to disrespect your narrow ideas of what it means to make your national dish by making it far more delicious.
You want to deny anyone entry into your food republic? Give us back the tomato. You don’t deserve it.

Then, while we are at it, why not put strawberries, mangoes, or bananas on pizza? Why stop at pineapples? I also take issue with the idea that there are just five cardinal flavors. There are many, many more, which cannot be expressed in terms of these five, especially in the savory category. Think of the flavor of meat, spices, and pepper. They are all fundamentally different, and yet would be bundled under savory in…
The five flavors model is an outdated model of what taste buds detect, a sixth has been established (oleogustus, associated with fatty acids and particularly with rancidity.) Furthermore, while not technically “tastes” in the detected-by-tastebuds sende, unctuousness (the mouthfeel of fats) and spiciness (detected by pain receptors instead of tastebuds) are part of what most people mean when they talk about “taste”.

'a judge ordered Mullenweg to remove a controversial login checkbox' remove means gone, not altered or replaced. i think clarification comes next, offering a chance to demonstrate lack of contempt before being jailed.
On what grounds? He changed the statement the box makes by the user. It's silly compliance but O think you really have to go further than this for contempt.

> That poor attorney. He won't be a poor attorney after milking Matt Mullenweg. The financial rewards of having to defend one of the most vindictive clients ever[1] are probably not small, especially when your client is so mentally stuck that they will see their delusional case to the last appeal.

If that’s genuinely an Automattic site, well… I guess I thought I couldn’t be surprised by the petty and spiteful depths Matt could sink to anymore. I was wrong. Infantile.

Some such substances occur across a broad range of foods, or in varieties that differ from each other in ways that don't really matter to your digestive system, and you can pick them up and consider them to be a flavor common to those foods.
Some are unique. You can pick those up too.
In either case, your perception of the same taste will vary according to the current state of your nutrition. Steven Callahan noted that, when he was lost at sea and food was scarce, fish eyes tasted significantly better than the rest of the fish. That is because they contain important nutrients, which your tongue can detect, but which you don't ordinarily care about. You start to care as you develop deficiencies.
A model of a small number of "basic flavors" doesn't even allow for this phenomenon to exist. It is fundamentally misguided.
