Abacaxi! Abacaxi! Abacaxi!

This is not a Canadian Brasilian Recipe but it is so delicious I had to show it to you.

A vendor drives around town with a truckload of Abacaxi (Pineapple) for sale at R$2 each.

He has a ten minute recorded message that talks non stop about his Abacaxi! Abacaxi! Abacaxi! Doce! Doce! Doce! Sweet! Sweet! Sweet! Pineapple.

We see him about once a month and always buy five to appease my sweet tooth. These ones are still a little green but they will be perfect in a couple days or so.




One guy drives the truck while two guys run the street giving samples to people.




This guy was too shy to show his face but he will gladly let you have a free sample.




The truck is loaded with 1000 abacaxi.




We bought five and brought them home.




This is how a Canadian prepares abacaxi. He lets his Brasilian wife do the work!!!

First she cuts off the top.




Then she cuts off the bottom!




Then she slices off the sides!




The delicious treasure is exposed!




Almost done!




She discards the outer peel and slices the inside lengthways.




She cuts all the sides and leaves the hard core. I like to eat the hard core so there is no waste.




She cuts the abacaxi into smaller pieces and puts them in her serving pan!



As a final step . . .The Canadian EATS THEM. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!
