You get some of the best pineapples in Meghalaya state in Eastern India. These pineapples are huge and juicy.

When you drive from Guwahati to Shillong - a picturesque three hour drive - look out for small shops selling pineapples on the roadside. Pick up a big one and ask the lady selling it to cut it for you - it is generally ladies who do business in Meghalaya - and she will do it smilingly. Khasis, the tribe inhabiting this part of Meghalaya are friendly and jovial people.

Yours truly - in jacket - selecting the juicy fruit

So next time when you drive on this road, don't forget to taste the pineapple.
