I love pineapple but not in pizza. But I'd eat it. Sweet and savoury work great together! Pork and apple, bacon and maple syrup, cola and bbq rubs, Duck a l'orange...

Tacos al pastor- pork, pineapple achiote paste and more. One of my five or six favourite taco varieties.

I would happily try any of that, but I just wouldn't 'order' something that I knew had sweet integrated into savoury. To be clear, I am only refer to a bright sugar sweetness. Many things that are more... subjectively? sweet are fine. I would consider fresh herbs, or freshly roasted and properly brewed black coffee to be 'sweet', and happily use them in savoury dishes.

The result of last nights fry pan full of oil.



I confess I didn't have enough green onions so it is not quite the holy trinity as I used white onion at this stage.



Smoked duck stock, sausage and seasonings added



Roux added



The leftover smoked duck



And... Dig in! Smoked duck and sausage gumbo.

Thanks Chris. It was really good, but I made it smaller than usual and used just a tiny bit too much roux. I didn't have anymore duck stock so I chose to eat it a bit thick.

Nothing wrong with that. I actually prefer my gumbo like that as I eat it with very little rice, and sometimes no rice, just potato salad.

Not sure how I feel about pineapple on pizza...

I was very skeptical myself, but my friend made me try it once. It was surprisingly okay.

I have tried it, but I'm still unsure about how I feel about it...

Finally, got back to backing. My first try - ciabatta. Turned out a little bit heavy, but OK.
