Have you been to Thailand yet? If you have, you will know that Thailand is known for all of their delicious street food. You can’t walk more than a block or two without someone selling something from the street.

Sticky rice and chicken in a bag, hot curries, meat on a stick, fruit on a stick, mango sticky rice, ice cream, fresh fruit juice….the varieties of food sold on the street are endless!

Tropical pineapples tastes nothing like the pineapples we generally get here in the US. The pineapples I eat when I am in the Caribbean or Southeast Asia are like pure sugar. So juicy and so sweet!
Though I was lucky to get a really sweet one this time, many times they never get really ripe and sweet. Since the pineapples have to travel so far (unless you are in Florida or California, etc.), they are sometimes picked too early. If you wait too long for them to ripen, sometimes they will start to spoil before they ever ripen.
If you have pineapples that are a little under ripe, this is a great recipe to elevate the flavor to a whole new level.
A little sweet and a little spicy, this pineapple snack is so addictive!
We all know that pineapple and coconut is a marriage made in heaven. Why else would Pina Colada be one of the most popular drinks in the world?
Even if your pineapple is sweet and juicy, the spice of the chili is such a great contrast and balance to the sweetness of the pineapple.
