In the book I am reading, a new Navy recruit tells of his first meal. One of the foods was pineapple cheese. I was not sure I had ever heard of pineapple cheese. It would seem like a great thing to fight scurvy, but I wonder about the taste. I am not so sure pineapple cheese sounds too good. So now some questions.
Did pineapple cheese have pineapple chunks? Where did the Navy get all the pineapples? I am not sure if pineapples were even grown in the United States. I am not sure if pineapples were commonly eaten in the United States and if many recruits have ever tasted pineapple before joining the Navy. Did United States Civil War era civilians eat pineapple cheese?
Now I want to sample pineapple cheese. Although I like both cheese...
