New toys are always fun! And all pineapple I saw was encased in green Jello with walnuts, etc. I just scarf down a cold can when the mood strikes!
You have to try a fresh one at least once. My husband always picks them out, and tells me that the way to tell that they’re ripe is to try plucking a leaf from the center of the very top - if it comes out easily with gentle pressure, that’s your pineapple.
(People also say that sprinkling a little salt on fresh pineapple makes it taste sweeter - I guess it goes to the saying that ‘salt makes things taste more like themselves’.)
