We love fresh pineapple as well... Of course "down here" in SoCal, I can cut off that pineapple top and plant it! I have a friend who got another pineapple when doing this! I haven't been as lucky, but it deters the squirrels from digging in that pot!
@radiogirl Fill a pot with rich soil and place the top in a south-facing window...you might get lucky, and if nothing else, it makes for a nice tropical plant!
On that note I'm going to get some pineapple!
