That should just be the heat and pressure of the canning process denaturing the bromelain , rather than removing it. You could achieve the same effect by putting the can into an InstantPot for a little while.

Those look expensive, is there another way of doing it? Could I just submerge a can in boiling water for a bit?

The regular cans still have the burn effect (if anything they've made it stronger, possibly to compensate).

Yes sorry I should have clarified in my edit. Just a saucepan of less-than boiling water for 10 mins should do nicely. I was thinking it might require boiling which is why I suggested the InstantPot just because I have a fear of exploding cans

You reduce the chance of explosion if the can is completely submerged, I believe. Something to do with pressure differentials

It's funny when you look at her wikipedia page and it's like, which Tory is this again?

Wikipedia posted:

Hoey favours stricter controls on immigration, tougher welfare reform, withdrawal from the European Union, English Votes for English Laws, grammar schools, marriage tax allowances, free schools and academies.

(the paragraph is also missing her support for freedom to own handguns, anti-lgbt bollocks and relegalising fox hunts)

I think that's just because boiling water will stay at 100C, whereas if you let it boil off you can get steam heating the can to above 100C and then you could have problems.

Since It should never go without saying, if you're heating a can even a bit you should let it cool down rather than opening it and having hot, mildly pressurised pineapple juice shoot into your corneas

Pretty sure she's a unionist, that support for united ireland was more incidental to her Marxist student days:

wiki posted:

Prior to being a member of the British Labour Party, Hoey was a member of the International Marxist Group, whose policies included support for a united Ireland.

but:

Belfast Telegraph 2019 posted:

Former Labour MP Kate Hoey has revealed she will be voting for the DUP in the upcoming General Election.

The ex-cabinet minister told radio station LBC that she would be voting in Northern Ireland on December 12.

Ms Hoey was born in Mallusk, Co Antrim and studied at the Belfast Royal Academy and University of Ulster before moving to England.

...

Ms Hoey confirmed that would be a DUP candidate where she is "likely to be voting".

"I'm pro-union. I would not dream of voting for Sinn Fein, I wouldn't dream of voting for the SDLP," she said, adding that the Alliance Party is in hock with both.

Asked if she would have voted for the Brexit Party or Conservative Party if she was voting in London, she said "Yes I would", adding that "the country comes before party politics in this election".

And the other stuff is just her libertarian streak.

e: There's something hilarious about former Labour MP admitting she'd want to vote for the Tories just months after quitting her seat.

It's hard to say, she could've probably kept her position as a Labour MP if she were a bit more conformant to the party message.

Then again she's at least no Frank Fields, who wrote a large number of books on ~~why the skivers should suffer~~ why the welfare safety net is bad, actually, signed Labour MP. It takes dedication to have your proposed welfare reform condemned as too strict by 1997 Tony Blair of all people.

I've literally just walked in the door from the park and cab report that not only was there a van selling ice cream to sledgers at half 5 in the evening in the snow, but there were at least 2 people in shorts.

Field is another strange one, opposes the welfare safety net (allegedly) on the basis that "when he was young the state was for protecting the rich, therefore why should the poor support the state?" which would have him come of age somewhere around 1882 I guess.

Yeah, too many seem to go the Marxist student to oddball libertarian to alt-right pipeline for it just to be as simple as being on the payroll of someone or other, but it does seem like entire think tanks worth of people managed to shift themselves down that path. Something definitely broke a bunch of people's brains around the late-00s (although in her case it was earlier I think).

I represented enough Brazilian lads (from Minecraft servers, I guess) to confirm that a lot of them who were working Rickshaws were also selling drugs.

Basically they would arrive in Ireland and there was a least one Brazilian person acting as a Kingpin who recruited Brazilian's who had newly arrived in the country using the Brazilian social networks setup in Ireland.*

I think now it has moved onto Deliveroo Drivers.

* = Other fun things I learned are it is very easy and legal to get a Brazilian drivers licence converted to an Irish drivers licence and that so many Brazilian men found Ireland an easier place to be Out in than in conservative Brazil.
So much so that back in Brazil , the conservatives there are using Ireland as an example of a gay country that turns Brazilian men gay.

Maybe they need to be semi-mobile rather than fully mobile, perhaps using falafel truck technology.
