We cut the most lovely pineapple tonight. I know they can be a little spiney and intimidating, but fresh is so delicious and worth it. 
Here is a little bit of info from

Here is some
 great information on how to cut one up. And 
some brilliant recipes to use that fresh pineapple in. 
We just ate these two plain, they never made it past the "snack-off-the-cutting-board" stage and into a recipe.
