[Sca-cooks] grilled pineapple

[Stefan li Rous]

Gueni?vre (alias Guenievre de Monmarche):-) asked:
<<< Did you just say you added pineapple to beef stew? Please tell me  
this
turned out better than it sounds? as it sounds truly bizarre to me.>>>

I agree. I thought at first maybe she had mis-typed "pinenuts". Using  
pineapple would seem to make a rather sweet tasting beef stew to me.  
since Phlip is one of those on this list that doesn't seem to have  
the taste for sweets that some of us do, I found this further amusing.

<<< (?Course, the only way I really like pineapple is grilled with
cinnamon, ala the local Brazillian steakhouse, so that may be why?) >>>

This sounds good. I assume this is with powdered cinnamon sprinkled  
on top of fresh pineapple slices? I'd think that canned pineapple  
might be a bit too watery for this. Perhaps some time when I'm  
cooking burgers or chicken or steak on the grill, but otherwise it  
sounds like a lot of work for a couple of slices of pineapple. I  
wonder if this would work under the broiler. Adamantius' idea of  
sprinkling brown sugar on top sounds good as well, but pineapple is  
already sweet enough (as a diabetic) that I'm going to have to watch  
the amount I eat.

PS: And for those who might be wondering, pineapple was eaten in  
Europe prior to 1600 CE. It was one New World item that was quickly  
snatched up. And compared to bananas, they ship easier.
