My friend calls pineapples ‘Dragon Eggs’ and tossed one into a bonfire. Pulled it out later to have the most delicious roasted sweet mythical egg ever
Sounds tasty. I can vouch for lemons undergoing a similar transformation. Wrap them in foil, seal it really well, and chuck them near a fire or bbq. They come out soft, sweet, and delicious.
Before Maillard invented his reaction in 1912, you would have just gotten a burnt lemon
That was nice of him! Thanks, Maillard!

Roasted pineapple is delicious. Coat it on some brown sugar, roast it, then carve off the toasted bits. Repeat.
Isn’t the pineapple sweet enough that sugar could be omitted?
Look, I’ve got a sweet tooth.
Like, in the middle of the fire? For how long? Wanna try it in the future
Tossed it in when the fire was at peak flame, and then waited for the wood to burn, the pineapple looked like a big piece of black coal
I need to try this. A full pineapple into the flames naked?
Pineapple can be naked, if anyone else is naked, I suggest not jumping into the flames
Mother of pineapples
1000°c seems accurate:
Fun little science fact: Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of. It’s called Black Body Radiation. The color chart shows what temperatures correspond with various “colors” of glow.
But corrected by emissivity factor. Emissivity factor is also not constant, and changes as both a function of material and temperature. Probably associated with band gap fluctuating wrt. Temperature
Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of
True only if light emissions aren’t dominated by chemical effects or filtered by structural effects. Plenty of materials burn at different colors. Although if you wait out the chemical reactions and keep it heated, it does eventually end up with just blackbody radiation too 🤷
Which makes iron a suitable substitute for tungsten at 3000 C
Aluminium doesn’t glow, even when molten though?
Eventually will glow human eye visible if you keep heating it past useful temperatures. 1000’C+ starts getting red hot.
Doesn’t emit light as readily as iron does, especially with iron’s oxide layer building up when heated.
so does this make my balls permanently sweet or what
This gives me God Emperor of Dune vibes.

Sir Pinappleus the Hawaiian: You absolute fool.Knights Of The Pineapple! Arise!
I hurt my knee; can I remain seated?
they said arise, not stand up. grab that little piston lever on the side of your seat and scooch upward an inch
Related, but off topic.
If you ever visit Taiwan, be sure to eat the local pineapples. We have one of the sweetest pineapple and we eat the core of the pineapple. The core is actually crunchy, like the constancy of a crispy pear.
good to know
It’s only valid if it’s the RHNB.
Does it work when the skin is properly dried though? Armor would dry out over time.
Ya, it’s all a big lie brought to you by billionaire dragons. They’re just trying to get you to wrap yourself in a tasty garnish so that they get a nice citrus flavor once they are done roasting you.
You’ll have to keep moist and wet. Oh so wet.
The pineapple will be just fine the flesh touching the steam on the other side spread all over your body by the pineapple keeping it pressed against your skin on the other hand is going to have a nice chard bbq taste.
If the steam doesn’t get you, the enzymes breaking down your proteins would surely give you horrible skin irritation.
Why was the pineapple discarded? They could have eaten it 😭
and what happened to the card
It got dissed.
What it did to deserve that, we might never know. . .
Don’t worry. It’s a black deck, so the graveyard is exactly where the pineapple wants to be.
I know, right? I’ll even eat the stickers, nothing goes to waste!
I believe it’s just the skin
Right but it says “the skin of a discarded pineapple” — meaning the pineapple was discarded, not the skin. Just a silly grammar joke.
Fake news: the underside of the ball is room temperature. Nice fucking try though.
Iron? I suspect otherwise… My dear RHNB, I miss your red hot nickel ball.
