Pineapple pies.

Maybe a pineapple upside down cake? I've heard of those.

You put pineapple and cherries on the bottom of the cake pan and then pour in the batter. Bake as usual. To serve it, invert the cake pan and put the cake on a plate, so the fruit is on top. Hence the name.

Like this?

Is that a pineapple cream Marydoll ? fav treat of my childhood

Yes and it's still one of my favourites! Easy to get here in the west of Scotland.

You can also get raspberry ones. I'm drooling now, Aggie!

Lyons used to make a pineapple tart in a little cardboard box. Other flavours too. I had them for my school packed lunch in the 50s. Love the pineapple one best. Haven't seen then for decades.

My Aunt used to get me the pineapple ones in Glasgow as a treat , strawberry tarts too I seem to remember

Love pineapple and raspberry creams ❤️ They often appear in our NHS tea breaks (because we practice what we preach, obviously!)

Marydoll blast from the past.

My paternal grandmother always had some in for when we visited.
Unlike my maternal gran, who loved to bake, she wasn't a domestic goddess (a bit like myself), she would quite happily nip to the bakery for some pineapple tarts and strawberry tarts.

Unfortunately after a couple pineapple tarts and glass of ironbru (only usually allowed at grans) I would feel quite sick!

Long time since I have tasted one.

Ps may be should have called them 'creams' rather tarts

Are they super sweet? I just rummaged thru the pantry looking for a can of pineapple! I also found this blog ..

They look amazing ..

They are indeed super, sickly sweet. We can buy them as individual cakes or tarts, like in the blog.
There is a layer of pineapple jam between the pastry and the cream.
All the major supermarkets sell them here, as well as independent bakers.

So its good to know they might still be available. It appears that Iceland sell them .
I will not drive the 10 miles round trip to Iceland today.
The shop, not Reykavik.
It seems to be a popular in Scotland.

Thank you.

The shop, not Reykavik

Thank you Resurgam for my first giggle of the day!

I am going to ask my choir friend if she could see if they have them in her Iceland store and bring me some tonight when we go to choir tonight.
No stone will be unturned in my pineapple pie mission. ? ?

If your pineapple pie/cream/tart mission proves unsuccessful let me know and I’ll stick some in the post to you - it will give me an excuse to pay Greggs a visit! ?

I've been craving pineapple ever since!

M&S has them if anyone's interested. I bought a box of 4 to take to a friend. I found them very sweet indeed and really couldn't face a second one (which is saying something!!)

Like that but not looking quite so phallic.

How could anyone BU about pineapple pies?

Not so phallic, but not as exciting!

Phallic?? What sort of willies have you been looking at??!

I don't think I will ever be eat one ( a pineapple pie) again! ??

????

How phallic do you want?

Had I better stop being rude. I don't know what has become of me.
Will I get told off.
