What doesn't get pickled or frozen for soup gets roasted, and yes, it is quite good......and a bit better for you than frying it. 8)

I just harvested a tiny pineapple from the ornamental I got at the co-op. It was tasty

I've got so many pineapples ripening now that I can't keep up with them. I'd give them to friends, but everybody has lots from their own gardens.  Kinda like citrus season was back in Florida.

Been making pineapple candy by drying pineapple pieces in the dehydrator.  Yum!

Gonna juice up several gallons and make some spike.

I have determined that I would die in a diabetic coma my first pineapple season if I ever lived in Hawai'i. I would just end up drinking pineapple juice instead of water all day long...

You'd have to put the mug and pitcher in the loo.  Pineapples are self-limiting  ;)

If I had more than just a couple of plants I would do the same, but when one does get ripe it doesn't last long between me and the wife. Unlike HI my climate is just cool enough in the winter that I have to keep them in pots and cart them inside a few nights a year so my plant numbers are limited.

Sounds like zucchini here in the NW.  Everybody grows 'em, everybody has lots of them...if you leave your car unlocked, someone might leave a bag of 'em in there.

One reason I don't grow them any more.  I'm so burnt out on squash. :o
