Does anyone else have an addiction to pineapples?

...I don't think you're eating pineapples.

...I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Edit: Or maybe that was a joke that just flew right over my head. It wouldn't be the first time.

Ever since I had a fresh one plucked right off the vine in Hawaii. Surprisingly though, the ones we get in Tennessee are not that bad.

do you guys eat the core of the pineapple? I love that part.. the first time i gave that to my wife, it broke off her bottom retainer.

she said her family never ate that part and that was probably b/c of my ahem, modest upbringing.

All the time. I can feel the canker sores starting to form and I keep eating. Pineapple is the best.

How do you guys prepare pineapples? If I'm lazy, I'll get one pre-cut from the grocery, but if I'm up to it, I (try my best) to cut it into nice pieces and soak them in salt water for a while.

I eat fresh pineapple like it's candy...Usually 1 or 2 per week when she can get Hawaiian grown, but when she finds Maui Gold's on sale, I may eat 3 or 4 per week.
(there IS a difference in pineapples based on where they're from...different soil conditions, different overall climates, etc.)

For my money, Maui Gold is the best pineapple you can get, (sugar-sweet, lower in acid) followed by Del Monte from Hawaii,(O'ahu) then any of the others, Costa Rican, Filipino, etc.

I can't stand pineapple, but apparently they serve a higher purpose. Like Ns1 said, all for the wifey.

Lawls.

I are a pineapple fiend but forcibly limit consumption per sitting. Also, meticulous trimming is key so as avoid mouf mangling bits. I do eat the core -good fibre I figger. Never heard of the salt water schtick. What's that aboot?
