\nTaiwan has a long-standing association with pineapples. In the early twentieth century, it was the world\u2019s third largest exporter and because of the fruit\u2019s surfeit, its supplementary role in baked goods became popular. Still a significant part of the economy, there\u2019s even an annual Taipei Pineapple Cake Cultural Festival.<\/p>\n

I recently learned that these little gems are available in Manhattan\u2019s Chinatown at Audrey Bakery, 12 Chatham Square. The three characters along the left side of the package read \u201cpineapple shortbread\u201d and it\u2019s delicate and delectable. There are packaged versions of similar fruit filled shortbread cookies easily found in just about every Chinatown market, but these treasures are a world apart.
