Pineapple…. How do you eat yours?


When faced with a whole pineapple which method would you choose to peel and eat it?

- Do you slice the top off, then slice rings to peel and eat (usually cut into segments)?

- Do you cut it into quarters longitudinally then cut out the flesh to eat?

- Do you use a fancy pineapple corer, peeler, slicer?

- Do you eat the rings or segments from the can it came in?

- Or some other way?


Today on my way to a community clinic I saw an intriguing scenario (at least it was for me).

A gentleman was by the side of the road with his bicycle. Tied on the back of his bicycle was a large sack which had pineapple leaves poking out of the top. I can only assume the whole sack was full of them. Next to him was a small girl with a pineapple in her hands. The whole pineapple had been peeled, I assume adeptly with a machete, she turned it upside down, held it by the leaves and was eating it like a lolly pop. The whole thing was about as big as her head!
