The pineapple has became a familiar symbolic image of welcome, good cheer, warmth and affection between all who dwell inside the home. The introduction of pineapples to Europe occurred in November of 1493, when Christopher Columbus, on his second voyage to the Caribbean region, went ashore to inspect a deserted Carib village.
