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!
I 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:
- It sounds gross.
- It’s sold out.
- All proceeds support an animal welfare group, an approach I do not agree with.
What about you? Would you try Tofurky and Gravy Soda?
