Um, not so very tasty. I cut it into slices like I would an apple. Took a bite, and very odd taste. And my gums all around teeth became very very dry. A gritty sort of taste. I thought it was the peel. So the next piece I cut the peel off the fruit. Same thing happened. Had to drink and swish water all around. I was expecting more juicy and more fruity. There was not much of a taste. More explanation please. Why do you like this so much?The Luedtke Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07308696764271755723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-74861486172616944712011-11-10T23:18:49.356-08:002011-11-10T23:18:49.356-08:00*raises hand* I'm also disturbed by the obnox...*raises hand* I'm also disturbed by the obnoxious practice of now decorating two holidays out (least that's what's happened around here all year) What happened to the days of giving each holiday it's rightful celebration?!?

My SIL slices them across the fruit, mixes up a concoction of honey and white vinegar, splashes that over them then sprinkles poppy seeds over that. My grandmother used to have a recipe for persimmon bread, but I haven't made it in ages (maybe today as I bought 4 persimmons from a roadside stand and need to use them up).<br /><br />Happy Vertical Day of the Century to you, too! <br /><br />E.Letterpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-82568840124851248632011-11-10T07:37:52.161-08:002011-11-10T07:37:52.161-08:00Love the newspaper article and happy vertical day!...Love the newspaper article and happy vertical day!!Archie The Wonder Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348256617269963755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-69903940801336760932011-11-10T07:20:29.025-08:002011-11-10T07:20:29.025-08:00I didn't realize being a Canadian was a suspic...I didn't realize being a Canadian was a suspicious activity.
