Let us see how Aloha, Quality Fruit growers from the Philippines, suggest to us the cutting of a pineapple.
1. Slice or Twist off crown.
2. Cut lengthwise in half and then in quarters.
3. Slice inner core.
4. Starting at one end, slice between skin and fruit; stop just before the other end.
The company also supplies some history about pineapples:
In 1493, Christopher Columbus landed in Guadaloupe and tasted his first pineapple. On his return he presented a pineapple to Isabella, Queen of Spain. Once introduced to Europe, the pineapple became highly sought after and was regarded as a sign of great hospitality and friendship. Many of the great houses of Europe today still carry a pineapple motif carved in wood above the door.
The so-called Honey Pines here (for example, the pineapple in the photo) are neither as sweet as honey nor sugar, but the fibre and freshness are up to standard. Usually we add tidbits of these pineapples to fried rice.

Mr. Wat, you have done so many researches!
For the sake of writing, I collect some materials first, mostly from the Internet.
Wilson, thank you for being one of my
blog readers.
After cutting the pineapple, we put the slices into salt water for a little while, the sweetness seems improved.
