Today is Pineapple Day and I thought it'd be fun to write about it. Especially since I love pineapple it seemed like an even better idea.
According to Wikipedia:
The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with edible multiple fruit consisting of coalesced berries, also called pineapples,[2][3] and the most economically significant plant in the Bromeliaceae family.[4]
Pineapples may be cultivated from a crown cutting of the fruit,[2][5] possibly flowering in 20–24 months and fruiting in the following six months.[5][6] Pineapples do not ripen significantly post-harvest.[7]
Pineapples can be consumed fresh, cooked, juiced, or preserved. They are found in a wide array of cuisines. In addition to consumption, the pineapple leaves are used to produce the textile fiber piña in the Philippines, commonly used as the material for the men's Barong Tagalog and women's Baro't saya formal wear in the country. The fiber is also used as a component for wallpaper and other furnishings.[8]I like pineapple many different ways...fresh is always good. My friend Joe likes to barbecue pineapple which is also very good. A lot of people don't like Hawaiian pizza, but I like pineapple and ham or Canadian bacon on a pizza. I also love pineapple upside down cake...in fact, here's a recipe. And when I was on a Windjammer cruise in the early 80's, my favorite drink on the cruise ship was rum and pineapple juice.
Pineapples are also featured in nearly every episode of "Psych" and you can find a list of the pineapples in the various episodes here.
And "pineapple" was used as the distress signal in a "Black Friday" episode of "Chuck"
And of course, who can forget Spongebob?
