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.

Tinned pears are probably a safer bet after the great pear noise of Mn a few months ago!

I love tinned fruit, it's comfort food from my childhood. Has to be in syrup as well, juice just makes the custard or evaporated milk too thin and watery. In order, peaches first, then pears, prunes, pineapple, mandarins and lastly fruit cocktail if I'm desperate.

I used to live in the UAE for a bit. My favourite bit of the supermarket was the 'pineapple man' in the fruit and veg sections that would do all the chopping and slicing to your chosen pineapple and give it back to you in neatly chopped rings.

I prefer tinned pineapple to fresh!

Me, too. Fresh pineapple gives me weird blisters on my tongue, but canned doesn't. We buy it in 100% pineapple juice, I think it's fine.

Me too! I can't eat fresh pineapple but something about the canning process gets rid of wwhatever causes the irritation. Shame because fresh pineapple is nicer.

I LOVE fresh pineapple, but I just can't eat it. :( Canned is pretty good, I love it with some cottage cheese.

Yum. Love fresh but don't like the weird tingling on the tongue after a few pieces.

Am 29+ weeks upduffed and craving tinned fruit. Currently prunes and peaches but now craving pineapple - Thanks.

Its delish in sandwiches, as an upside down cake and on gammon (make sure you pour the juice on too as it caramalises).

Tinned pineapple is a firm favourite here.

Yes, tinned mandarins.
And pears are great too.

No snobbery eat other tinned fruit, just pineapple in a tin is nothing like fresh

oh we hardly ever have real pineapple what a faff i either buy it in the shops pre pepared got get deals on or tinned I love it and i even drink the syrup

Tinned in fruit juice = WAY easier than mucking about with fresh pineapple.

Can't be that much worse unless there is some added sugar to the juice?

oh god i have not had tinned madairins in years

I always have a couple of tins in the house as like to chuck it into Thai curries and sometimes stirfrys.

Nice pud with tinned mandarins.

Buy a Jamaican Ginger cake, double cream and tinned mandarins.

Slice the cake in half, whip yhe cream til thick and add the drained fruit to the cream and mix well then put cream mixture in between the two slices of cake.

Food of the Gods.

I prefer fresh as I like the crunchier texture. I just wash and cut it up all at once so it's ready to eat when we want some.

Fresh pineapple is delicious for just eating. The tingly enzyme stops jelly from setting so you need to use tinned for that.
But in a cheese sandwich it has to be tinned; fresh is just too juicy and wrong.

DS has to take in fruit for a snack at break time. A couple of tinned pineapple rings in a little pot is his favourite. Lots of his pals are copying too.

Preciousbane I can't eat pineapple again eats you back

ROFL @ tined fruit judginess

I love MN

I love pineapple too, can eat a whole fresh one cut up in a bowl if I am concentrating on something else and I get to it before DS2

tinned gaaaah

I remember eating gazillions of fresh pineapple when trying to hurry dc2 out. Caused some mild contractions but didn't do the trick.

I think tinned pineapple bears more resemblance to fresh compared to fruit cocktail. Fresh grapes are delicious; tinned grapes are sad, squashy, pallid little things, like a Chihuahua's discarded testicles post-snip.

Thanks for that image Margot.
