>>Hilah: Okay, so let’s start with pineapple.
So this is like, this is a good looking pineapple right here, and you can see it’s a little
bit yellow, the little like scaly bits are each about the same size, and it’s firm
and it’s solid and it smells slightly like pineapple.
If you’ve got this one, you would let it sit on your counter for like two days, and
then it would look like this, and then it would totally smell like pineapple, and the
little ends look a little bit brown, it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't smell like pineapple
alcohol, like it doesn't smell fermented.
That means it’s a little overripe, but this one smells like delicious, wonderful pineapple,
and now I am going to show you how to cut it up.

>>Hilah: Okay, so what you do is you lay the pineapple down like that, and you cut off
the top, and then if you like stack some toothpicks in here and put it in some water in the water
glass, it’ll grow another pineapple.
That’s what they say.
Okay, and then cut off the bottom.
I don’t think the bottom grows a pineapple sadly, and then the skin is really tough obviously
and you don’t eat it because it’s kind of like lizard skin, and so you just kind
of slice down like that, just paring it away, and we’ll get to those little weird little
eyeballs that are left behind later.
Get that stuff out.
Hey, that’s not good.
[laughs] Can we cut that out?
Okay, so then I cut it badly.
Whatever, I’ll just show you how to do this part, and then I’m gonna, just kind of get
the last little bits and pieces off of there ,hmm hmm hmm, and you can use a paring knife,
but I like to live dangerously, so maybe you shouldn’t actually do exactly everything
that I do, but this is how I do it.
Okay, and then also I also just quit being a baby, and I also just like eat these things
and don’t worry about it.
It’s another thing that I do sometimes.
Okay.
So whatever.
Babies.
Okay.
Then like so.
Then there’s kind of like, I don’t know if you can see that in the camera.
There’s kind of like this line here.
There’s like this really fibrous core, and you want to get that out of there, so just
about like that, and then you can like gnaw on that if you want to, and then cut it in
this way, and now, cut it again this way, and there we have little pineapple cubes that
you can put in a fruit salad or a blender.
Wheeeeeeeee!
