I do like pineapple. My Mom has fresh pineapples sometimes but I can never eat a whole one on my own ….. I do prefer tinned pineapple though …. Maybe it’s a throw back to my childhood …..this is probably going to age me …. You all know how old I am anyway ….,,but when I was young every party had cheese and pineapple on sticks. This is still….to this day …..one of my favourite things. Anyway, I asked The Mister for tinned pineapple a while ago and I thought I had eaten it all ….. No …. I just found a tin …. Yay ….. I’m just off to cube some cheese ….. That’s my supper sorted ….. Is cheese and pineapple something you would eat ?

I have never heard of a cheese and pineapple combo. I’m finding British people more intriguing every day. Pineapple is delicious even if I don’t have it much.

Years ago people would cover a potato with silver foil and place a cube of cheese and a piece of pineapple on a cocktail stick. This was then stuck in the covered potato …..to look like a hedgehog ! Oh the fun we had in the 70’s ……x

I like pineapple on pizza, so the cheese and pineapple do mix there, but I don't care for unmelted cheese that much. Everyone always thinks I'm insane for my love of pineapple pizza, but I typically only like melted cheese.

@Traceyjayne That's because pineapple (and papaya) contains a large amount of an enzyme called papain, which is actually eating away at your tongue That's why pineapple works as a meat tenderiser.

I remember pineapple and cheese from partices. They'd be on toothpicks and the other end would be stuck in an orange. Very fancy at the time!! lol

@Traceyjayne Yes, I'm sure that's the case. Many of our original settlers came from the UK.

I think the UK and Australia have more in common than the UK and America …..

Yes I like that combination. By the way once you open a tin of fruit you should move the unused portion to some other non-metallic container, because once the tin is open to the air the metal will oxidise in the presence of acid (fruit juice).

@Traceyjayne Have you ever read 'Three Men in a Boat'? I can't think about a tin of pineapple without bringing that scene to mind.

Yes, I always put the remaining fruit into a dish ….not that it lasts long once the tin is opened …

@Fleura I have read it , many years ago and seen tv adaptations ….written by Jerome K Jerome who came from Walsall …..where I live. The situation wouldn’t happen today ….the tins have those ring pull things on them !

I do remember eating pineapples when I was younger. These days due to high prices, my relatives and myself do not eat pineapples.

I don't know if I would like that combination. I do like a pineapple glaze on top of cheesecake.
