Dubbed 'The Swineapple,' this meaty confection features a hollowed-out pineapple [wrapped in bacon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-honey-bacon) and stuffed with country-style boneless wings. Slow cooked over mesquite, this stuffed pineapple was first spotted on Bush's [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexi-ai) page. After gaining mass attention, Bush uploaded the recipe along with a picture of the ingredients. To make your own Swineapple, a lot of prep time as well as cook time is needed. It is also required that you be skilled in using a smoker. The Swineapple may be a very distinct dish but it has curated a lot of attention despite its excessive appeal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stuffed Pineapples:** Creating unique and unconventional stuffed pineapple recipes can attract attention and a following. - **Meaty Confections:** Experimenting with meat-based desserts and confections can offer a surprising and indulgent dining experience. - **Barbecue Innovation:** Exploring new and inventive barbecue dishes, such as 'The Swineapple', can capture the interest of food enthusiasts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore the trend of creating unique and unconventional stuffed pineapple recipes. - **Catering and Events:** Catering and event companies can incorporate meaty confections into their menus to surprise and delight guests. - **Barbecue and Grilling:** The barbecue and grilling industry can embrace the concept of barbecue innovation by promoting unique dishes like 'The Swineapple'. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pineapple Snack Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snack-hackathon.md) - [Fiery Pineapple Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-pineapple-snack.md) - [Spicy Pineapple Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pina-picante.md) - [Pineapple-Topped Chicken Burgers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pineapple-express-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Pulled Pork Parfaits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pulled-pork-sundae.md) - [Colorful Carnitas Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pia-carnitas-taco.md) - [Pineapple-Topped Chicken Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aloha-chicken-sandwich.md) - [Pineapple Crust Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-twist-quattro.md) - [Hawaiian-Inspired Pork Burritos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hawaiian-burrito.md)
