What's with the pineapple?
It all started in Europe in the 1500s when pineapples were shipped in from the Caribbean. The high cost of shipping meant that pineapples could only be obtained in Europe by royalty and the wealthy, establishing an association with opulence and prestige. Individuals would place their prized pineapple at the center of their table for all of their guests to see. Over time, the representation shifted from a sign of wealth to a sign of welcome. To this day, the pineapple is used as an unofficial logo of hospitality and many organizations within the industry.
