The History of the Elusive Pineapple Sandwich

I've been living in Atlanta too long. I hardly ever hear of anyone having a pineapple sandwich anymore. Growing up in Alabama the pineapple sandwich was a staple in school lunch sacks and church picnics. Your mama could use sliced pineapple or crushed. I usually opted for crushed if I wasn't concerned about soggy bread or pineapple juice cascading down my elbows. The sooner you ate your crushed pineapple sandwich the safer. However, if you were going to start a food fight, it had better be soggy.
