    Bottom first. The leaves would serve as a flared end and a handle. You’d want it to be ripe-ish I imagine. Ripe enough to have a little give, but not ripe enough that the leaves come out too easily.

    Pineapples also come in different sizes, I’ve seen some homegrown ones posted on Lemmy that seem…manageable.

      Just keep in mind that the hard, pointed spikes on the outside face up, so you’ll be pulling it out against them.

      If you do top first you get the harder part over with, and then have plenty of blood to lubricate the way out.
