Book excerpt: Poet Charles Lamb described the pineapple as “too ravishing for moral taste . . . like lovers’ kisses she bites—she is a pleasure bordering on pain, from fierceness and insanity of her relish.” From the moment Christopher Columbus discovered it on a Caribbean island in 1493, the pineapple has seduced the world, becoming an object of passion and desire. Beloved by George Washington, a favorite of kings and aristocrats, the pineapple quickly achieved an elite status among fruits that it retains today. Kaori O’Connor tells the story of this culinary romance in Pineapple, an intriguing history of this luscious fruit. O’Connor follows the pineapple across time and cultures, exploring how it was first transported to Europe, where it could only be grown at great expense in hothouses. The pineapple was the ultimate status symbol, she reveals—London society hostesses would even pay extravagantly to rent a pineapple for a single evening to be the centerpiece of a party. O’Connor explains that the fruit remained a seasonal luxury for the rich until developments in shipping and refrigeration allowed it to be brought to the major markets in Europe and America, and she illustrates how canning processes—and the discovery of the pineapple’s ideal home in Hawaii—have made it available and affordable throughout the year. Packed with vivid illustrations and irresistible recipes from around the world, Pineapple will have everyone falling in love with this juicy tropical fruit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plucked from tropical America, the pineapple was brought to European tables and hothouses before it was conveyed back to the tropics, where it came to dominate U.S. and world markets. Pineapple Culture is a dazzling history of the world's tropical and temperate zones told through the pineapple's illustrative career. Following Gary Y. Okihiro's enthusiastically received Island World: A History of Hawai`i and the United States, Pineapple Culture continues to upend conventional ideas about history, space, and time with its provocative vision. At the center of the story is the thoroughly modern tale of Dole's "Hawaiian" pineapple, which, from its island periphery, infiltrated the white, middle-class homes of the continental United States. The transit of the pineapple brilliantly illuminates the history and geography of empires—their creations and accumulations; the circuits of knowledge, capital, labor, goods, and the cultures that characterize them; and their assumed power to name, classify, and rule over alien lands, peoples, and resources.

Book excerpt: "Fran Beauman's boyfriend once called her his pineapple - did he mean she was spiky, difficult and posh? Or spectacular, delicious and sexy? In this enchanting and fact-filled book, she explores why this golden fruit is so special. And in one, surprising sense, it is indeed ideal. Made up of a hundred of separate fruitlets, its scales are arranged in curving rows, with one set, always of eight, crossing another of thirteen- these spirals embody the gradations of the Golden Mean - it is, mathematically, perfect. The author's passion began with a childhood visit to the pineapple-shaped garden-retreat in Dunmore, Scotland and has taken her across the world, from Hawaii to the Philippines, from explorers' voyages to pineapple chunks. She looks at how the pineapple originated in tropical South America and spread to the West Indies- Columbus recorded the first tasting by a European on Guadeloupe in 1493. Sailors brought them home, but they seemed impossible to grow in our cold climates. It was almost two hundred years before a wealthy Dutchman succeeded, and from that point the fever took off, especially in Britain. In the eighteenth century they were so precious that shopkeepers wou
