Dunno - but it probably runs shorter than the beef about custom skinny knives.

Every time I buy a pineapple, by the time it’s ripe, my kitchen is infested with fruit flies.

It's like... I can actually see where they're coming from with the idea, but I'd never dare risk supporting it publicly.

It is a thing that, unlike popcorn, I cannot make well at home.

Temporarily.
I recommend finding something temporarily on Craigslist for a reasonable price BEFORE you make the movie, makes quite the difference in audience ratings.
Also on pineapples, go through the stack and pick the heaviest one. It’s similar to choosing cantaloupe and watermelon, you want it to feel hefty for its weight. You’ll know when you find one by comparison to its neighbors.
Another edit if anyone is struggling with fruit flies. Small cup, shot glasses or espresso cups work well. Those frou frou French yogurt glass containers that have started popping up in grocery stores are also good. A inch or so of Apple cider vinegar, mixed with 1-2 drops of dish soap. They’re attracted to the vinegar because the little buggers think it’s fruit. Soap lowers surface tension so once they go for a taste they can’t get back out. Cover top with a piece of plastic wrap. Secure with rubber band. Poke holes in plastic with knife tip like you’re turning it into a salt shaker of insecticidal fury. Holes let the vinegar scent out, insects in and reduced evaporation compared to open top. Place area near your fruit storage. Marvel at the incredibly efficient fly annihilation machine as you munch on deflied fruit.

I usually cut into them immediately. I think I read they're ready to eat when you buy them and don't benefit much from additional counter time. Then again, no store-bought pineapple has ever compared with the ones I had in hawaii
unless it is deep fried tofu with good seasoning

which effectively diverts it from nachismo.
No purse necessary. I once brought in a bag of popcorn to a theater the size of my torso. Just stuck it under my jacket and looked fat. Works in usa at least.
The best is smuggling in a big bag of in-shell pistachios and throwing the shells on the floor.

Yeah, you wouldn't want the other patrons to have to wade through popcorn to get to their seats.

Not too smart, but at least I’m ugly.
The movie must’ve been a real gut punch. Midsection was a bit upsetting, tho.

For truly authentic cooking, you need to match the knife to the cuisine. For German dishes, you have to use a Zwilling or a Wüsthof. For French dishes, a Sabatier is mandatory. For Italian cuisine, it has to be a Sanelli. You can't cook anything Chinese without a Chan Chee Kee. And, of course, if you cut the meat for yakitori with a knife not made in Japan, it will taste all wrong. And don't you ever, ever, dare to cut a Rösti with anything but a Victorinox!
ime, a majority of them do not actually go into the liquid, but the HOAc vapor for sure attracts them. i have had better success by taking a small (iirc 4 fl oz) widemouth mason jar fitted with a FDM printed lid featuring a funnel with a small opening. i put just a bit of vinegar in the jar, and the funnel opening almost touches the liquid.
the thing fills up with flies, but a lot of them linger without going into the liquid. that's part of why i don't bother adding detergent anymore.
they instinctively crawl upwards on the jar sides and on the funnel slope, and that's great because that's nowhere near the opening. escape is very rare once they're in there.
you can just forget about it, and they'll eventually desiccate. in case of severe infestation, you can clean out the trap more regularly by first microwaving the whole thing for 30s or so until they all drop dead.
that's the other reason i don't put detergent. microwaving soapy water makes huge-ass bubbles.
basically this except well made instead of mickey mouse crap

It's pretty similar because I put a good spicy dry rub and peanut oil on it and roast it at 200C (400F) fan until it's crisped up.
They are picked underripe and ripen during shipping and in special storage at distribution plants before being sold retail. It really kind of depends on your grocery store. And who shops there. If the pineapples are big sellers then they will probably usually seem under ripe because they are moving faster than they can ripen. If they aren't that popular then the store might sit on a case for a few weeks and you'll have the opposite problem. Overripe, mushy, fruit fly infested, etc.

What do you recommend for al pastor?

I like your post
ahh yes this is what the Japnese call kire aji (切味cutting taste) it all makes sense now
Perhaps for reaaal authentic cuisine we need to care about the chef's national origin as well? You know their hand sweat does go into the dish so...
