I scrubbed this pineapple clean with a toothbrush before I cut it, and then thought it might make a good picture.

Why scrub? Don't you peel the skin anyway. Looks well riped, I love fresh Pineapple. My mom add salt and pepper to pieces, tastes good!:)
ReplyDeleteDid you cut it like Jai does?
ReplyDeleteI agree with Asha. Why scrub and that too with a toothbrush? Never pegged you for the obsessive type!
ReplyDeletePics looks gud and the pineapple looks ripe..
ReplyDeleteAsha, this is only the second time I'm handling a pineapple :) I destructed it (sounds so much better than destroyed) the first time - cut it in several ways, this time I cut in Jai's way. Well, some of it - the rest is in the fridge.
ReplyDeleteShankari, yeah, I find it practical, esp as I know no other way and have always been intimidated by it and so never tried. Do note my reply to Asha!
Jaya, I am very obsessive about cleanliness - when I had a cook for a brief two years, I'd examine her nails.
Priti, thanks! It's not all that sweet though I waited a few days, and the base had begun to blacken when I cut it today.
LOL@examining your cook's nails! I understand the scrubbing part, I sometimes scrub tomatoes and other conventionally grown veggies with with diluted dish soap or a vinegar/baking soda solution.
ReplyDeleteThe pineapple looks really fresh, how did it taste?
Mamatha
It was at that stage where it was neither tart nor sweet. There was a blackened portion which tasted like tinned pineapple - kind of astounding!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like something I'd do... scrubbing a pineapple with a toothbrush.. Now, what is the Jai method of cutting pineapple? What did I miss?
ReplyDeleteJai method of cutting.. Please share it :)
ReplyDeleteMamatha, it was not sweet, quite flat.
ReplyDeleteSig, Rachel, take a paring knife and cut around each side of the penta-/hexagonal eye. Go quite deep and you come up with a bite-sized piece of pineapple attached to the eye. As you keep going, you won't need to cut around all the sides, but just score on one side, poke around two other sides and dislodge pieces. It's on their web site - Jugalbandi.
