I ate a pineapple this weekend.

Whole Foods had "whole trade" (their fair trade), organic, naturally ripened pineapples so I got one, and I swear it was SO good! It was as good as pineapples in Hawaii at the roadside knife-lady stands.

Re: I ate a pineapple this weekend.

  • I would if I could!!

    I LOVE Hawaii. I've never done the Dole Plantation or any touristy stuff though.

    Skip the tour, unless you enjoy the whitewashed version of "Yay slavery!" and just go to the gift shop for the pineapple ice cream.

    Well I'd never give Dole my $ anyway!

    Is it really ice cream? Like with milk? And pineapple? That sounds so strange!

    What is it with Hawaii and ice cream? I had the hardest time getting a smoothie without ice cream in it near the beach.

  • LOL I love your "I ate a..." non-local confessions.  I eat pineapple every time I go to Whole Foods Embarrassed That's only once a week so I don't think that's too bad.  I eat a local apple every day.

    lol, thank you!

    Well I have been very strict about local and seasonal, and I don't want to be hypocritical, or dishonest!

    The pineapple is happening more often. Tropical fruit has to be imported to me no matter what season anyway, and at least its organic and fairly gotten.

    The tomatoes are not happening again. That tomato sucked. I can wait for local delicious ones!

  • LOL. I did, too! I couldn't resist when I was at WF.

     

  • Yum. We bought a pineapple from Whole Foods yesterday. I'll probably cut it up tomorrow...I can't wait.
  • I told you that Christmas orange was a gateway fruit! Now every time I come over here, you've eaten some other forbidden fruit!

    LMAO!!!

    5 star response!

    Seriously y'all, if you see the organic naturally-ripened pineapples, get one! (PS not sure if you know this but to pick good pineapples, look for the rings to be even and large around the bottom, and the middle fronds in the stem should pull out fairly evenly)

    I'm buying more pineapples. I think if I just keep my diet 90% or so local-ish, that's pretty darn good!
