HDB not only sent me an image of those saucy little donut peaches... but they're surrounded by lots of other alluring produce. I wish this photo were scratch and sniff, or scratch and taste, but come to think of it... it doesn't need to be. I can smell it. I can taste it... it will haunt me in my dreams...
I bought my donut ("flat") peaches at a less than first rate produce store and they were still marvelous. I can only imagine what these must have tasted like.
HDB pointed out that this photo was taken in 2008, two years before my encounter. Hmf.
It just dawned on me... HDB was surely using a LENS to photograph this!! I wonder if he used a Tongariro icicle lens. Dear. Gawd. He could have turned the entire stand into compote!
Shirley you meant Tongariro?

Now I have to go chop up fruit!

The world is my produce section- I've been scarfing wild mulberries and raspberries for weeks now, and the pea-sized "two seeds per fruit" wild grapes are ripening early. On the veggie front, I've been blessed with an abundance of nettles, lambs' quarters, and purslane, and the wild grape leaves look perfect for stuffing. I've scoped out a couple of thistle plants (ouchy, but artichokey) as well.
Loved the earlier fruit post. I used to do "stange fruit (not like the song)" night years ago, where I'd buy a fruit I'd never had, and eat it before boozing it up. Star fruit and Asian pear made their debuts on these nights.

We have a butt load of purslane, but I've never had the nerve to try it. How do you eat it?? I thought I recalled salad recipes. Do you eat the stems as well as the little succulent leaves?
I swear, I just ripped out a bunch of the stuff and was thinking again, this is supposed to be edible...
If you ever get a chance to try guaba, I highly recommend it. It was funky and awesome. It would have been perfect for strange fruit night.

More red wine on the keyboard.

Did you found that we are scornful when we catch someone out telling a lie; but who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred?
