Persimmons

So I haven’t done too well on my quest to try new-to-me fruits and veggies. I had a goal to try five new foods and in reality I tried exactly….one.

Sigh.

The one I tried was the Fuyu persimmon, and it was delicious!

persimmonI enjoyed it straight up, and loved it. The consistency is crunchy like an apple but with a slight creaminess. The taste is mildly sweet. I picked up a few more at the market and I plan to bake something really awesome with them.

Any good persimmon recipes out there?

I’m still going to experiment with new foods. I have a yucca waiting for me in the kitchen, and I plan to pick up some more fruits and veggies tomorrow. Anyone know where I can get a good paw paw?

In the meantime, here is one new food that I do not intend to try:

Here’s why I will not be sampling this soda:

  1. It sounds gross.
  2. It’s sold out.
  3. All proceeds support an animal welfare group, an approach I do not agree with.

What about you? Would you try Tofurky and Gravy Soda?

  1. gross. when you say you aren’t a fan of ‘animal welfare groups’, what is it about them that you don’t like? is it because they don’t have the same views as an animal rights organization?
