Squirrel Little Red Riding Grandma

Whimsical Soup Kitchen. Today,
0:07
let me show you how to butcher a
0:08
pineapple for its meat. Look at this
0:11
cute succulent pineapple, as if he is
0:14
"Eat me, please." Well, don't worry,
0:17
sweetheart. We will turn you into a big
0:19
juicy whimsy. Today's podcast is
0:21
basically how to butcher a pineapple for
0:24
its meat. Except this was actually my
0:26
first time doing it, and I did something
0:28
a little bit wrong. I forgot about the
0:31
middle core because I didn't really know
0:33
what I was doing. Then my tongue started
0:35
[music] hurting. My tongue is still
0:37
complaining. So, before I start
0:39
preaching pineapple theology after O any
0:42
I asked Barn News to teach me the normal
0:44
method first. Apparently, a normal
0:47
pineapple does not require squirrel in
0:49
street surgery. Step one, cut off the
0:52
crown and bottom. Put the pineapple on
0:54
its side, and carefully slice off the
0:56
leafy crown, and a thin section of the
0:59
bottom. Now it has two flat ends, so you
1:02
can stand it upright much more [music]
1:03
safely. Step two, remove the skin. Stand
1:07
the pineapple on one flat end. Slice
1:09
downward [music] along the curve of the
1:11
fruit, removing the hard outer skin
1:13
while trying not to sacrifice half of
1:15
the delicious pineapple meat. If some of
1:17
those little [music] brown eyes remain,
1:19
you can carefully trim them away
1:21
afterward. Step three, cut it into
1:23
quarters. Cut straight down through the
1:25
center to make two halves. Then cut each
1:28
half again. Congratulations.
1:31
For giant pineapple [music] meats, this
1:33
is approximately where my education
1:35
began collapsing. Step four, deal with
1:37
the core. See that firmer strip running
1:40
along the inner edge of each quarter?
1:42
That's the pineapple core. It is
1:44
actually edible. So, past me was
1:46
slightly slandering the pineapple here,
1:48
but it's tougher and more fibrous than
1:50
the surrounding fruit. So, if you want
1:52
normal tender pineapple chunks, cut that
1:54
firm strip away from each quarter. Step
1:58
cut the good stuff into chunks. Now
2:00
slice each quarter lengthwise or
2:02
crosswise into whatever size you want.
2:06
pineapple successfully butchered for its
2:08
meat. No actual butchery occurred. And
2:11
about the tongue thing, pineapple
2:12
contains enzymes [music] called
2:14
bromelain, which break down proteins.
2:17
Fresh pineapple is also acidic. That
2:19
combination can make your mouth or
2:21
tongue feel irritated, tingly, or sore,
2:24
especially if you eat a lot of fresh
2:26
pineapple. So the core [music] wasn't
2:28
secretly plotting my assassination. And
2:30
removing the core doesn't necessarily
2:32
prevent irritation completely. If
2:34
pineapple makes your mouth hurt badly,
2:37
causes swelling or hives, or affects
2:39
your breathing. However, that's
2:41
different from ordinary pineapple
2:43
tingling. Stop eating it and get medical
2:47
did you all see that spinning pineapple
2:48
peel in the background? Yeah, it took a
2:51
lot of work. You can imagine the [music]
2:53
mental anguish every single time that
2:55
thing falls over. Do you know how much
2:57
work that [music] is? Dear Snow White
2:59
had better love this overpriced fairy in
3:01
his universe. We spent over $8.99
3:05
on it, only to realize Amazon apparently
3:07
sells something similar for $3.99.
3:11
Back then, Dear Island law was simple.
3:14
There was basically a shiny lady who
3:15
could open the portal. Now Dear Snow
3:17
White is apparently not the same price
3:19
anymore. Inflation has reached Dear
3:22
Island. So we're adding a magic mirror
3:24
and 11 fruit appeals, partially
3:27
descended from our flower of fruity A 11
3:29
syndicate. Naturally, I probably won't
3:32
construct this ridiculous pineapple
3:34
contraption again. Or maybe I will
3:36
someday for fun. But if you just want to
3:38
save money and eat a pineapple without
3:40
wasting half of its meat, crown and
3:42
bottom, skin it, quarters, trim the
3:47
enjoy the meat. That's it.
3:50
Hopefully my first pineapple mistake
3:52
prevent somebody else's first pineapple
3:54
mistake. I hope you found this [music]
3:56
video helpful. Goodbye, pineapple. See
4:00
you in our whimsical squirreling street.
