18th-century England

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
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!❤️😘
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!!
What interests information. Makes one wonder how they ever discovered the fruit. Hard to grow in their climate and travel distance not fresh friendly.
Thank you for hosting!
All the best.
Well, WOW on pineapples and all of the other amazing facts you find! I shall have more respect for those little devils when I see them.

I don’t think a rent a pineapple would go over as a business these days. Now everything is pretty much available with all the shipping methods.
Wow! What a cool fact find. And to rent one – who knew! Happy Wednesday!
That’s crazy. Renting a fruit. Nice status but I’d want to eat it. 🤣😎🙃
They make an impressive centerpiece, don’t they? But I don’t think I would have rented one if I had able to afford it.
