to give DC tinned pineapple?

[EatDessertFirst]

DS has developed a love of pineapple from having it a couple of times at nursery where they do it from fresh.

Cutting up a fresh pineapple seems like a massive faff but, if it would be better than tins, I am well prepared to be told IABU.

I'd get the kind in juice not syrup.

Awaiting your wisdom.

Have I missed something?
Is tinned Pineapple a no no?

Oh god by MN standards I am the worlds worst mother

I give mine tinned pineapple, peaches, pears and tinned custard on Sunday's.

tinned fruit is healthy and counts towards your 5 a day

I was thinking this too FunnyFoot hence the search for opinions. I think we're all clear though .

Now I'm craving tinned peaches.

Love a bit of pineapple.

Tinned fruit judginess, only on mn

I actually have a tin of pears in the pantry which I now want to open and eat all to myself. Damn you OP

Sorry YABU imo. Fresh is best because it has more vits (partic C which is often lost in the canning process - frozen veg is obviously as good as, if not better than, fresh - canned less so).

But also fresh uses less resources - no aluminium cans, less airmiles etc.

And preparing fresh is very little flaff - cut both ends, cut down the sides, quarter and remove core - viola!! fresh pineapple pieces.

but there is much more wastage with fresh and it spoils quickly. The prepacked slices are probably even worse in terms of packaging volume.

I love cleaning and cutting pineapple.
It's an art, you know.

Noooo
Tinned pineapple tastes noting like fresh pineapple.
Go knows what they do to it in the process of putting it in a tin.

I love pineapple but won't touch it if it has come from a tin

Ooh get you, too good for tinned pineapple.

Pineapple snobbery.

Really?

I just love faffing around cleaning the bits with a sharp knife. I do!
Is that wrong?

My kids love pineapple crumble for pudding, it is blumming lovely. Tinned pineapple all the way for me, can't be doing with the mess and faff.

I know somebody who doesn't try very hard to hide the fact that she believes tinned fruit to be common, and therefore so are we for eating it.

I just smile at her whilst telling her to Fuck Off in my head

< makes mental note to put tinned pineapple on shopping list>

I love it on gammon.

I like both canned and fresh pineapple but to me they are different foods. Here is an old-fashioned staple of Southern US cuisine; any of your pineapple loving DCs will like it, I promise.

Tinned is the way to go on gammon.
I tried fresh once, it was very very wrong.

Whole pineapple is a nightmare, I'd go for tinned every time.

Of course YANBU! There's nothing wrong with tinned fruit especially if it means no faffing about chopping it up. I love fresh pineapple every now and again but tinned is way more convenient.

I was brought up on tinned fruit but these days fresh just makes so much more sense. A whole pineapple costs about £1.00, does us four twice as a dessert. Keep it alongside bananas for a few days until the leaves go a bit limpish so it's really ripe. Get a pineapple cutter upper thingy from Lakeland, Ebay M&S, Chop top of pineapple, insert thingy, twist a few times and voila - your own gorgeous spirally curl of fresh pineapple which can be chopped up and put back in the pineapple if you're feeling fancy. Or simply slice into quarters, cut fruit away from the skin and dice like a slice of melon.

We eat a reasonable amount of tinned fruit, there is only me and dd and fresh goes mushy quicker than we eat it! We eat more veg than fruit though.

This is useful and easy to use.

I buy fresh, tinned and frozen fruit. My kids eat a lot of fruit and no way can I buy a weeks worth and it last so they have fresh and then we move on to tinned and frozen once that has all gone. I usually buy food 2-3 times a week but decided today that was barmy so once it has gone they have to wait until shopping day.

Yikes! How can a whole pineapple only cost 79p? Someone somewhere is working for peanuts.

I have had a tin of apricots and also mandarins today.
Yum.
