I saw somewhere how to choose a good ripe pineapple but I can't recall what it was. I'm going to have to google next time I see them in the market. This really is a fun topic!
Thanks much! There's so much good stuff to try that is a little exotic and/or that I've never learned about choosing produce. I learned the cantaloupe trick but it starts to get confusing! For some you check the color of the stem, others you give it a little squeeze, some you sniff, and some you thump. It seems like at some point I'll need to learn to dribble some vegetable or fuit like a basket ball while rubbing my stomach and patting my head!
I second the motion. Your effort here is very 'above and beyond'. You deserve your own show on the BBC!
I would totally watch the show. it was great info! I'm a pineapple lover and now I'm obsessed!

I smell it. If it smells sweet, then it's good. Same rule applies for cantalope

Now you're on to something: Vegetable/fruit sports.. Dribble, spin, dunk, and pick.
