Pineapples for Peace

A great website I came across recently unites recipes from Israel and Palestine.

‘Palestinian and Jewish Recipes for Peace: Celebrating 12 years of sustained relationship-building and outreach’ was put together by the Jewish-Palestinian Living Room Dialogue Group of San Mateo County, California 2004.

There was even a recipe for Hearty Corn Muffins which used pineapple.

Here are some more recipes that I've found. They were all delicious!

The Nago Pineapple Park in Okinawa, Japan.

A theme park based on everyone’s favourite fruit!

What an amazing holiday destination – it has it all, but, mostly pineapples!

You can visit their website at:

The Restaurant Palm Tree section boasts an extraordinary Pineapple Parfait. Here’s a diagram which incorporates a remarkable array of ingredients in all its 37cm glory !! Dieters beware! They must employ a very adventurous home economist at this pineapple park!

My adventurous daughter, Ella, decided she too could create such a mistresspiece! 

We couldn't find pineapple shaped biscuits so substituted with teddy bears.

Almost there!

She was determined to reach the 37cm mark!

At this theme park you can drive around in cute little pineapple shaped carts to check out the plantations or stand next to a funny pineapple shaped personality!

It is also home to the First Pineapple Winery in Japan. You can taste “Lagrima Del Sol” (Spanish for “Tears of the Sun”) made from 100% fresh pineapple juice. You can even bottle your own with an original label!

They state “Our low alcohol kids wine is very popular with the ladies” ! !!!

I think the highlight for me would be the souvenir shop!

But I’ve just spent so long on the website, I feel like I’ve already been there, Anne.
