Jacqueville

Jacqueville is a town in Cote d'Ivoire. It so called because it was the first place in Cote d'Ivoire where the Union Jack was raised when the British originally occupied the country. It is virtually an island, separated from most of the country by a lagoon. The only road involves taking a ferry across the lagoon. Amongst other things it is noteworthy for the local pineapples (ananas savage) which are long narrow and have completely white, very sweet and have completely unacidic flesh. When nitrate fertilisers are used in their cultivation they become yellow and taste much more like a conventional pineapple.
