Hello, and welcome to another episode of the british English podcast, where I aim to explore the rich tapestry of history, culture, and language of Britain.
I'm your host, Charlie, and I've got to confess, I might sound a bit different today as I had a local anaesthetic in my mouth earlier this morning.
So my left side of my face is a bit droopy.
Hopefully, you don't notice a difference to my voice, but hopefully that won't take away from today's aim, which is to take you on a little journey inspired by something quite unexpected.
And that is pineapples.
That's right, pineapples.
Why?
Well, I was walking around London earlier today, as one does, living in London and listening to a podcast by blind boy.
He's not blind.
It's just his stage name or podcast name.
If you haven't heard of him.
He delves deep into irish mythology, culture, mental health, and other fascinating topics.
Well worth a listen.
But what caught my attention this time was his episode about pineapples.
Yes, I know what pineapples.
What you see, he talked about their cultural significance in Europe and particularly in England.
And I tell you what, as I continued my walk, something strange started happening.
I began to see pineapples everywhere.
And this wasn't the anesthetic playing tricks on my brain.
I even went up to one and touched it.
