In 18th-century Europe and Britain, pineapples were the ultimate luxury status symbol, costing the equivalent of up to $8,000 because they were extremely difficult to grow in temperate climates and hard to ship without spoiling. Pineapples were so rare they were rented by the hour. People would hire one just to show off at parties! Source: TPD.EDU

  1. To rent one? Incredible idea. But I remember I read once about the relation between this fruit and the
    pineal gland. There are many ideas related, that should be checked.
    But anyway, I love pineapple. Thank you for the reminder!
    Happy WW, dear Sandee! Hugs and love!❤️😘

  2. I imagine it was quite “the thing” to have a pineapple (and expensive too!) on the table. They are rather “other planet-like” in appearance aren’t they. They’re also delicious!!

    Hugs, Pam and Teddy
