A little bit of nonsense for Friday Fictioneers!
.
That looks nice!
Yea, a pineapple or ananus as some call them!
Really?
Yea, it’s from the Bromeliaceae family.
Do they own that fruit shop up the hill?
No, silly, that’s the pineapple’s botanical name.
Now you’re confusing me! Anyway, what are you doing with it?
How about a pineapple upsidedown cake?
Is that an Australian thing?
Don’t be daft! Actually, I could make us some piña colada.
Pinacollawolla what?
Or a Flaugnarde, a Clafoutis, a Pineapple Bomb…
It does look a bit like a huge hand grenade!
Perhaps a Pineapple Fool’s more appropriate!
Why not chop just it into chunks?
Good idea!

Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and to Brenda Cox for the photo.

The gourmet meets the philistine. Just chunk it. 😉
Perfectly summed up Christine!
He was never going to eat it unless pushed, was he?
It seems that way Neil!
Chopping it into chumps seems like the best solution.
Chunks for chumps! Thanks, Frank.
Cue: ‘If you like pina colada…’ Enjoyable as always Keith.
‘…and gettin’ caught in the rain’! Cheers, Iain
Oh, I want to have a fesh pineapple now, or a pina colada.
Isadora 😎
There’s nothing quite like it!
I love pineapple, sliced with gammon, now I am of to raid the store cupboard
A perfect combination! I like it with pretty well everything – except on pizza!
Now you made me want to have pineapple “something” preferably with a bit of rum and coconut. Well done, Keith.
Go on, treat yourself! Cheers, Bill.
Thanks, Keith.
No matter how you serve it, it’s yum!
Absolutely, and the fresher the better!
I enjoyed reading this The Dutch name for it is Ananas so that must have come from ananus haha
Thank you, Marja. I think I may have spelt it incorrectly and the Dutch version is what I had in mind!
All of that potential wasted. Cheers!
I know! Cheers, Lisa.

Dear Keith,
All the lovely things that can be made with pineapple. I enjoyed this miscommunication as well as the pineapple education. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks, Rochelle, it’s certainly versatile!
Chunks would work for me! Fun story, love the dialogue.
Me too Linda! Thanks so much.
Sometimes you just want to eat… and soon.
Very true Sandra!
Love this humorous exchange!
It’s a tricky one. Just what do you do with a fresh pineapple? Think of the mess. Oh, are pineapple slices allowed on ham pizza?
Absolutely not, Julius Caesar would turn in his grave!
Fresh pineapple doesn’t need any embellishment!
I have to agree, enjoy it as nature intended!
I lived the fun dialogue and learning a bit more about pineapple. Sweet story! 🙂
It’s certainly versatile! Cheers, Brenda.
Very good. I loved your wordplay in this. And you’ve just given me an idea for this afternoon’s baking. Pineapple cake it is. Upside down of course, as I’m in Australia. 😊
Yeah, let’s not get too creative. pineapple chunks rock 🙂
I can see a book, “101 Uses For Pineapple’ 😀
We called it ananus.. lots of fun info is there
Ananus, huh? LOL. It’s Ananas in German as well. So many yummy recipes wasted. But fresh chunks, hmmm… sometimes the simple way is the best.
As usual, a fun read, Keith. Love the froggies 🙂
Sometimes, the simple solution is the best. Pineapple chunks are quite delicious.
