only time i use tinned pineapple is to put round gammon when its cooking to keep it moist. I have never had a sweet tooth and even drained tinned fruit is still far too sickly sweet for me. Some days i can eat a whole pineapple |

i grow alot of my own veg theres nothing that doesent taste better fresh than frozen or tinned..natural sweetness is reduced as soon as the fruit/veg is picked as the natural sugars turn to starch.
an added bonus is every weekend on my allotment is a dirty weekend  |

"Can't remember seeing a fresh mandarin orange for ages, nearest would be a satsuma or clementine"

Least i know the Mandarin does exist :D |

"i love tinned manderin segments, use them a lot when making flans..
ive never seen a manderin fruit though, or does it have another name?"
Mandarins are quite easy to get. My local Morrisons had them yesterday! They do tend to be a little pricier than other similar sized fruits.
You mentioned fresh Pineapple. Whether in a fresh or tinned format, do you know it is the best "pick-me-up" tonic for when you have a heavy cold or flu.
The natural enzymes in pineapple fight cold and flu germs and also help sooth sore throats.
Do you also know how to suss out how fresh a pineapple is on the shelf at your local shop? |

Well, you need to free up one hand to assist you.
Smell the Pineapple first. It should have a slight fruity aroma, almost like a subtle perfume type smell. The more intense it is, the fresher it is.
If there is no odour coming off the fruit, it is still edible, but past its freshness!
An alternative way to distinguish a fresh pineapple, is to pull at the pointed leaves at the top of the fruit. If you can easily pull one out, it is fresh. As the fruit gets older, the leaves harden up at the top of the fruit and become more difficult to remove.
So, everytime you see people sniffing pineapples, they're not weird! |

My next door neighbours had a fight once and the police were called because she had threw a tin of pineapple at him, the coppers said why did you throw it and she says, cuz i didnt have any tinned pears....

I think most fruit and veg are better when fresh, pineapple, lychees and mangoes are ok tinned I think. |
