Doc Holly's dream "Hawaiian" dish...

[Ka Honu]

They call it "Swineapple" - a hollowed-out pineapple stuffed with country ribs and wrapped in bacon before smoking. No, I probably won't try it but it opens up a whole new landscape of faux-Hawaiian entree ideas for Doc Holly.

LOL!  One of the guys at worked called me over to his desk yesterday to see this same picture and ask if I would cook it for him.

OK REALLY, REALLY dumb question, were the ribs cooked first or cooked in the pineapple ?

Here's the recipe I saw:

     Hollow out pineapple.
     Trim bark off pineapple.
     Shove meat in the hole.
     Wrap in bacon.
     Smother it in spices.
     Smoke at 240 for 5 hours.

Maybe they boiled the CSRs first.

Now that is a recipe I can understand.

I got a roast off a wild hog that this might be just the ticket for.

Try using SPAM instead of country ribs to make it more island authentic.

Spam is one my favorite things, I must have some Haiwian in my soul.

I love Spam......and I am thinking about trying this one

Don't laugh, but I have taken a block of Spam, rubbed it in mustard and a healthy dose of rub and put it on the smoker when doing ribs. Cook it till it has some bark. It is pretty good.

Not laughing, TP - delicious! Just give it some cuts so it "blooms" like an onion. I live in the state that invented and makes Spam - love it. My wife hates it, but it still makes my breakfast plate from time to time.
