My friend calls pineapples 'Dragon Eggs' and tossed one into a bonfire. Pulled it out later to have the most delicious roasted sweet mythical egg ever
Sounds tasty. I can vouch for lemons undergoing a similar transformation. Wrap them in foil, seal it really well, and chuck them near a fire or bbq. They come out soft, sweet, and delicious.
I would like to subscribe to lemon facts.

Before Maillard invented his reaction in 1912, you would have just gotten a burnt lemon
That was nice of him! Thanks, Maillard!
Like, in the middle of the fire? For how long? Wanna try it in the future
Tossed it in when the fire was at peak flame, and then waited for the wood to burn, the pineapple looked like a big piece of black coal
I need to try this. A full pineapple into the flames naked?
Pineapple can be naked, if anyone else is naked, I suggest not jumping into the flames
It works for breadfruit as well, my favourite way to cook it. You'd believe it has turned to charcoal, but no, the inside is like sweet bread fresh out the oven. I like to cut it in half and scoop it out with a spoon
Roasted pineapple is delicious. Coat it on some brown sugar, roast it, then carve off the toasted bits. Repeat.
I need to try that
Isn’t the pineapple sweet enough that sugar could be omitted?
Look, I've got a sweet tooth.
