Pineapple Potatoes

In Chile (June-August 2002) me, Daz and Liamo lived in a wooden hut up in the mountains near Santiago de Chile. We lived in Refugio de la Universidad de Chile in a small mountain village called Farrellones. We snowboarded everyday.

Every weekend we went to the city, staying in La Casa Roja, going out in Calle Suecia and Bellavista. On the Sunday we went to the massive Lider supermercado in Las Condes to do our weekly shopping for food that we would eat up in the mountains.

Mainly we bought porridge, bread, eggs, turkey, ham, cheese (breakfast and lunch) and soup, potatoes, pasta, chicken, alfredo sauce, and beans (for dinner).

One day with a tin of beans we got a tin of pineapple free. We didn't think much of it until we were running out of food one week on a Thursday. All we had left was eggs, beans, potatoes and pineapples. So we decided we would fry the potatoes and then I thought lets throw in the pineapples with the potatoes and it was absolutely delicious.

Thats it, that the story about pineapple potatoes. The thing is that we cooked it more often after that cos we actually liked it. I even cooked it once since I got back.
