Before pineapple became the symbol of hospitality, it was exalted as a mark of luxury and unattainable wealth at the start of the 16th century. European royal households and aristocracy used to spend thousands of dollars to import this Caribbean fruit.
It was done to impress the guests and to show them that no expense has been spared by the host. In early America, the revolutionaries started growing pineapples as a sign of individuality, attainable independence, and self-sufficiency. Pretty soon, it was freely seen at parties, celebrations, and Christmas dinners and transformed from a symbol of imperialism to warm welcomes and genuine hospitality.
