Sweet pete people. We are talking about skinning a bloody pineapple
here, not building a piano. Break off the stalk, cut the thing in half
peel off the rind, chop it up and throw it in the blender. Problem
solved. It does not matter if you cut it into a square a circle or
carve it to look like the Titanic, you are going to grind it up. For
some of you folks, I'd hate to see the trauma you'd go through if you
had to boil water.
