Pineapple juice is the juice of crushed pineapple. For me this always has extraordinary associations. As a 14 year old girl I was on holiday with my family in Spain, in a charming village called Tamariu. There the waiter was a man called Antonion Guix, never to be forgotten. He used to bring me the quantites of pinapple juice which I ordered, and one twilight on the beach, we swayed together to some music and he stuck his tongue in my ear. I found this very peculiar behaviour and decided not to do that again for a while!
A medium-large, yellow nectarine flushed with red, it has yellow flesh, melting texture and outstanding rich flavour.
A variety of russet eating apple which probably arose in Norfolk and reliably know of since 1730, though it was not recorded until 1831. It has a pronounced flavour of pineapple. This mid-season variety is harvested from early September in South-East England and is at its best from October to November.
A French heirloom beefsteak tomato cultivar with uniquely patterned yellow and red striped fruit which has splashes of red in the firm orange flesh. The fruits may weigh up to 1 kg (2 lb) and appear late in the season. The flesh has slightly the appearance of pineapple flesh. This tomato has a more than zany appearance and also has a good flavour. Indeterminate, potato-leafed variety.
The pine bolete is a wild edible mushroom, this variety is a mild tasting, chestnut capped cep mushroom which grows under pine trees and found in Autumn (US: fall). (If gathering mushrooms you must be absolutely certain what you have before you eat them as many are very poisonous.)
I was interested to learn that up to 20 species of pine produce edible pine nuts or seeds. In fact even more do, but the size of the seed renders it pointless to harvest them - and we have to leave something for the squirrels and birds! When I lived in Greece we used to shoot the pine cones out of the trees with an air gun to get the nuts.
Pinhead oats are the whole grain or groat of oats. They take a long time to cook and may be eaten as a sort of porridge, either sweetened or in savoury form. In the States they are called steel cut oats.
Pink Accordion tomatoes are 4-5 inch, attractive pink fruits which are ruffled or deeply lobed like an accordion. May also be used as a stuffing tomato. Slices are meaty, with excellent sweet mild flavor. Indeterminate. These are big, sprawling, regular-leaf tomato plants that provide an average yield of beautiful, 500g (1 lb), dark-pink tomatoes.
Large white field mushroom, with a cap anything from 5 (2") to 15 cm (6") in diameter.
