![]() 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...

![]() 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.
