Have I ever mentioned that pineapple is my favourite fruit? I think there is nothing quite like this fruit. Well, every fruit is unique in that regard. However, pineapple is one fruit that I really enjoy eating in so many different ways \u2014 just plain raw being how I like it best. In Mauritius, they are often sold already peeled and carved with the eyes removed. My dad, who own a fruit stall at the market, would always bring a couple of pineapples home every Sunday. It was almost a tradition and for that reason probably Sundays were my most cherished day of the week as a child. We would sometimes make a quick fruit pickle with pineapple, mango and cucumber spiced up with some green chillies. But most of the time I liked my pineapple just plain, cut along the length with the leaves trimmed but still attached to make a small handle to grab on to. The pineapples that we used to get were smaller and hence the stalk could hold the fruit.

\nI first learnt how to peel and carve a pineapple from my dad whom, for his passion for fruits, seemed to take a lot of joy and patience to teach me the ways. My dad, being a very meticulous person, has a real talent for peeling a pineapple for minimum wastage as well as maximum aesthetic. I think I never mastered this art, as I like to see it, quite like him. Nevertheless I passed on what I had learnt to other people, including Kevin who now is perfectioning his pineapple peeling skills in his attempt to impress the old man!<\/p>\n
