Pineapple

[brianx]

A contestant on Come Dine With Me did a pineapple and prawn cocktail starter this week. It looked pretty bad but they seemed to like it. I still say take it to the pub as an accessory you'll be so popular like Baldrick with his turnips.

Oh, yeah. I'd forgotten about pineapple fritters.

<drools>

My first thought. When I was a lad I used to stop at the chippy after going swimming to get pineapple fritter and chips.

Get big sealable jar. Put in pineapple chunks and pour vodka over the top making sure all the pineapple is covered. Seal and leave in a dark place for 2 weeks. After two weeks strain vodka into a bottle and enjoy your yummy pineapple vodka. Yummy with a little sugar syrup and lemon juice.

Just slice it into rings and eat it, leaving the outer skin on the plate. Pineapple is delicious and you don't need to caramelise it or pour vodka over it. Get it down your neck! Why can't people just enjoy the good things of life, like fruit, just as they come?

Yes pineapple contains an enzyme that breaks down meat tissues. That is why it is traditionally served on gammon. It is a left-over combination from the days when meat was really tough. Popping a slice of pineapple on a piece of gammon is not going to make the gammon noticeably more tender though, and anyway who needs to make gammon tender?

By the way, you can use the flesh-eating bromeline to your advantage by rubbing chunks of pineapple into your skin for exfoliating puposes.

*goes off to look up bromeline* Okay, so I can grow a plant, rub it on my face, set fire to it and toss it on the BBQ!! It's going to be a fun weekend! I like the curry thing too!! You lot rock!

..a teensy tiny little bit of vodka wouldn't be wrong would it?
