The Offical I think I am allergic to Pineapple thread

[Notters]

Interesting fact about Pineapple #2

English is the only language where it is not referred to (or pronounced) as either ananas or a varation of it.

Can't imagine why other nations see us as being awkward!

It's piña in Spain.

I refer you to post #18 my friend. Amid different versions of the truth (not 'The Truth', thankfully) being found, I'm choosing the one that suits me best.

Isn't it supposed to make your 'Arry Monk more palatable?

Didn't Jason Lee get the right hump when they chanted 'You've got a pineapple, on your head'?

I'm in an ice cream shop in spain and it says piña/pineapple!

Have a word with yourself young man.... Pineapple should not be within 100 metres of a pizza !

The Hawaiian is the Korma of pizzas, it's a girl's pizza. The choice of any discerning gentleman surely has to be the American Hot.

I get a similar reaction with peaches, apples (the skin), cherries, some nuts, maybe some other things. It's never given me any problem other than the top of my mouth/tongue/throat itching, but that's enough to make me avoid them.

Ooo I get it with Kiwi as well come to think of it

I can imagine, those New Zealanders don't wash much.

I've developed a full-on fish allergy over the last 5 years. My lips and tongue swell and my throat closes up. Salmon, Tuna, Sardines, Prawns, Cod, Haddock, Sole, Trout, Whitebait.........All the things I used to love I have to avoid like the plague now.

Can't understand why, they had a valid point.

Yes, all of that for me....especially the Kiwi. Fruit never used to give me any problems ?

It is definitely Pina here, I just asked my Spanish students.

You're wrong. Just so you know

It is national sausage pizza day.... I was going to be healthy tonight but seeing as it's a holiday....

Pineapple gave me stomach acid so I switched to a much more suitable fruit. Mango is lovely from Sainsburys but Tesco's brand can be too dry and hard which isn't anywhere near as nice. Always keeps colds away. *touch wood*.

I've just looked at the sweets i got in Spain and they do indeed have a picture of a Pineapple and the word Pina underneath.

Same here. Started in my 50's. Only happens in Spring. Birch pollen allergy. Hard to accept as I had never believed allergies or hay fever existed up to that point. Can eat cherries slowly and after about 8 the swelling and burning starts. Eat an apple and I could sneeze for half an hour. Cooked fruit no problem. Hazelnuts no good. Only around April time luckily.

It's weird how people develop allergies to certain foods for no discernible reason when previously they would eat the same food with no problems. Why does it happen? Do animals have the same kind of problem?

Did you have to post that directly after the one about pizza topping?

Pijnappel, Pinapfel. Also usage of Pomme de Pin in French (maybe archaic) and in Latin Pomum Pini.

Pomme de Pin in French translates as Pine Cone.


My adult daughter noticed she had a reaction to kiwi fruit, then apples and then most fruit. She then went to a spa, drank a smoothie without thinking, and had a violent reaction being unable to breathe. Her husband rushed her to A & E, but fortunately she was sick on the way which reduced the allergic reaction. She now avoids most fruit.
