Thorny pineapple
haiku about a favorite fruit16 total reviews
Comment from country ranch writer
My husband loved pineapples and we'd take the tops and plant them forming so he could watch them. It is amazing to know they are so easy to grow, I could not eat them as much as I loved them. They would make me sick soon as I ate them. I still got them for hubby though.

And my husband and I went to Hawaii on vacation. We got to go around the island of Kauai. We were able to visit pineapple fields. Have a blessed day, and I wish you the best in the club event. Patricia.

Yes, after reading your notes I understood the meaning in the poem. It looks like you have to earn that delicious treat with a bit of work. In New Guinea we would slice the outside skin off with a big knife, then with a smaller one cut channels around the fruit taking out the seeds - it would form spirals which look really good. Then with a very skinny knife take out the hard centre like a cylinder, slice the pineapple and put the rings back over the centre - looks like quoits - very fancy table decoration. Whatever way, enjoy your pineapple! Julie Lau
