    I think the other commenter may have hit the nail on the head. The original commenter might be allergic to the enzyme that fresh pineapple releases that makes it hurt your mouth. That would probably taste bitter if it was not only trying to digest you back, but those digestive enzymes were also mildly to threateningly poisonous to you.

    Kinda like how people taste cilantro, sweet corn, and basically every other foodstuff differently.

      I knew of cilantro, hadn’t heard of sweet corn. It really is fascinating how all this works. There are things I dislike despite having tried many times, and genuinely want to like.

      Thanks for the info on the enzyme angle.
