Introducing the pineapple as a symbol of generosity, hospitality, and welcome
Students living in southern United States or along the eastern coast may be more familiar with seeing pineapple emblems at the front door or even carved into the furniture compared to Midwest, Great Plains, and West Coast counterparts.
Using fresh pineapple or pineapple theme decorative accessories can be a reflection on the host and hostess for being hospitable and generous.
This handout can be used at the start of a school year or unit about hospitality or could be an additional lesson and/or lab when covering fruits and fruit salads.
Pineapple Boat Fruit Salad Lab
Additional skills and concepts for advanced foods students (Culinary Arts) would be: food presentation, garnishing, knife skills, various fruits prepping, historical connection, and geographical connection. This lab would also be great for students not to enjoy themselves but to serve to faculty and administration.
