I forgot how creative and tropical some Nicaraguans can be. We were served this delicious pineapple boat for dessert after lunch today, in a local barrio near Posintepe, Granada. It was actually one of the better, original local creations I have had in awhile. Apparently the pineapple was cut in two. The fruit was cut out and cooked in sugar, clove and cinnamon and then placed back into the pineapple, to be topped with orange pieces, whipped egg white frosting, little cherry candy pieces and those little sprinkles. Yummy!!!

A veces se me olvida que tan creativos y tropicales pueden ser algunos Nicas. Nos sirvieron esta 'barco de piña' hoy como postre después de almorzar en un barrio local de Posintepe, Granada. Resultó ser una de las creaciones más creativas que he tenido en bastante tiempo. Aparentamente, se corta la piña en dos. Luego, se sacó la fruta y fue cocida con azucar, clavo de olor y canela para ser colocada otra vez dentro de la cáscara. Luego, agregaron algunas piezas de naranja, merengue, cerecitas (caramelos) y confetti dulce. Umm umm!!!

Speaking of pineapple, have any of you had the liquor made from fermenting the pineapple? Friend of mine brewed some stuff he called topache or something to that nature.

About once a year someone in the house cuts up the pineapple (or nancite), throws in the proper ingredients and lets it sit for a week or 2, and we have some formented fruit juice that will put you down in 2 cups.

That`s the stuff...what do they call it in Nicaragua? My old friend called it topache or something to that order. Not bad and real effective for relaxation.:D
