“A lot of people don’t like it, do they? They can’t stand pineapple in sweet-and-sour pork. But it never disappears, does it? Why is that?” “Er, I don’t know—why doesn’t it?” “Because the people who like pineapple in sweet-and-sour pork may be in a minority, but they don’t just like it, they’re crazy about it.

I like it,” she adds, “pineapple in sweet-and-sour pork, that is. And the picture you drew.”
