The pineapple has served as both a food and a symbol throughout the human history of the Americas. Originally unique to the Western Hemisphere, the fruit was a culinary favorite of the fierce Carib Indians who lived on islands in the sea that still bears their name. Highly regarded for its sweetness, the "excellent fruit" was a staple of Indian feasts and rites related to tribal affirmation. It was also used to produce Indian wine. The pineapple is a hospitality symbol in larger, well-to-do homes, the dining room doors were kept closed to heighten visitors suspense about the table being readied on the other side. At the appointed moment, and with the maximum amount of pomp and drama, the doors were flung open to reveal the evenings main event. Visitors confronted with pineapple-topped food displays felt particularly honored by a hostess who obviously spared no expense to ensure her guests dining pleasure. |
