Victorian times where when the Brittish empire was expanding drematicaly, they were starting to discover new fruits from other area’s in the world such as pineapples, banana’s & chinese gooseberries (kiwi fruit). But it was very rare to be able to obtain these & it was also very expensive, royalty were the only ones who could afford to eat those regulary.
The types of fruit that was readily avaliable in those times are things like apples, pears, peaches, plums, necterines, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries raspberries ect…

Okay, okay… It’s a joke. If I were you, I would bring a pineapple. It is the international symbol of hospitality and thanks. Aloha!
