As part of the fruit and veg pledge Tesco has large pineapples for a £1, about half the size again as the normal large ones in our local store.

icebergs on offer as well supposed to be half price at 50p,

Hope it helps, think its on for a week.

Anyone tried the Tesco pineapple yet - the one I bought was dry and not very sweet once ripe - did I just get unlucky? What were yours like?

I can't bring myself to do this - I have not eaten "fresh" pineapple since I was laying back on Coral Island in Thailand (imagine heaven then add some extra good points!) eating real fresh fruit, including lychess with the real outer skin on them!

Problem is, doing something like that spoils you for the future - the only fresh fruit I eat in this country is now things like apples and oranges!

Two things to check when you buy pineapples;
(1) Feel the weight. They are mostly water, so if they don't feel heavy, the pineapple is dry.
(2) Tug on one of the lower leaves at the top - if it comes away easily, the pineapple is ripe and should be sweet.
Also look out for sticky juice on the outside - if present it is probably over-ripe or has been badly handled.
