"New" Fruits
I'm at the grocery store and I see these "new" oranges.. "Cara Cara" oranges.. $1.29 each.. Features include less acidity, tart-sweet, etc.. I try one just now... WTF? For starters, once the peel comes off the softball size thing, it's the size of a tennis ball. And it seemed no different to me than any 3 for $1.00 navel orange I get in Florida all the time...
So I get to thinking.. Has everyone noticed these 'new' fruits that keep popping up? It started with the Rainier Cherries.. OK great. a yellow cherry that tastes like a plum.. WINNER.. Available three weeks a year. Then we got the wacky new apples.. Fuji.. Pink Lady.. etc.. Whatever. They're apples. They don't fall too far from the tree if you know what I mean. Have you had the White Nectarines? A home run.. And I have a great appetizer salad recipe for Bibb lettuce with white nectarine slices and blackberries on a parmesan crisp with a lime vinagrette, so the white nectarines are a winner... There's others.. I can't even think of them all... 'New' fruits.. Kooky... And don't even get me started on the broccofleur...

Pants,
Is that a mango in your pocket or are you just happy to see her?

Another I could add, that I came across in the market in recent seasons, is donut peaches. Strange things, they are. The look like a flesh colored, rose toned hockey puck. And their flesh is white. And they do not have the same sweet flavor as that of the other summer peaches.

Also, shipped in during these winter months, small watermelons that are the size of cantalope or honey dews. Dark green, deliciously sweet and juicy inside with far fewer seeds. At $5.00 a piece, I still love them, though I love them better on sale.
