Please feel free to use tinned pineapple if you wish. Its a good product. Pineapple is a versatile fruit and can be used in many dishes, sweet or savoury, and of course cocktails. Chutneys, pickles, cakes, muffins, marinades, kebabs...

And I happen to like pineapple on pizza. So if anyone cares to...

If you like pineapple on pizza, I don't think I can cook for your tastes.

Back to the 50's anyone?

Here is an old post of mine from 2016 before my photography skills developed. Well, the idea is there...

Retro Recipe - Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Pineapples are part of the Bromeliad family, native to South and North tropical America. supermarket pineapples regularly weigh 1- 1 1/2 kgs, and if they come from the Andes, maybe even more. They're intensely sweet, but with a wonderful acidity. Here they're mostly used for desserts rather than entrees, which is a shame, because pineapple & savoury go really well together.
Here's a photo of a variegated (inedible) pineapple plant from my garden:

I'm a pizza Hawaii lover too!
Made a pineapple curry once that ended up better than expected

Pineapple curry is divine - remarkably tasty and takes the spices well.
Just found a picture of a pineapple I bought a couple of years back. Definitely an improvement on those miserable green things in Sainsbury's

Not an entry, because it was entered before (probably for a ginger challenge), but this was really fun to make:

I lied, I don’t have any pineapple juice, so it’ll be tomorrow instead.

I think this is a great idea, I’ve already got a couple of dishes planned!

I think I am the only person in the world who is indifferent to pineapple on pizza. Everyone else seems to have extremely strong feelings about it!

Nope, there's at least two of us. Bring it on! Or take it off; a pizza is just a piece of bread...

I love that it looks like a fish, which you strongly dislike. I find that very amusing. Looking forward to happy hour!

Edit: tomorrow's happy hour.

I'm so sorry to hear that you injured your, ahem, "pineapple". I just hope the recovery is a swift one. Not sure how that picture got past the content blockers.

Oh...never mind. You posted a picture of a gingered pineapple.
