[Sca-cooks] Pineapples and their adoption in Europe

[Johnna Holloway]

Back from my morning MRI appointment.
Bear is correct in that article is more on the adoption of
the pineapple in the late 17th to mid 18th centuries in England.
There are of course many other early references.A good summary
of these is in a book called The Duchess of Malfi's Apricots and
Other Literary Fruits. http://www.sc.edu/uscpress/2001/3417.html
