In Colonial America, a fresh pineapple was often the center of the dining table when visitors were present. Visiting was the primary means of entertainment and cultural exchange, so the concept of hospitality was a central element in colonial life. The pineapple symbolized the warmest welcome a hostess could extend to her guests, and it often served as the dessert after the meal.
