Fruit Fight!

[Queersetti]

What did Q ever do to you??


That's a bit insensitive, Des.

It's what I didn't do.

 

[Queersetti]

I remember the evening we stopped by accident at a gay bar. Two guys in drag got into an arguement which ended up as a fruit fight!

"By accident". Right.

Russets are the best apples.

No, I'm sorry, this is objectively incorrect (but do not feel bad, because it seems to be a common lapse in judgement amongst all of my British acquaintances - I blame your education system).

McIntosh apples are the best apples, but only in late September and October. Furthermore, they are ever better if stored in and then later retrieved from the pocket of a wool coat, just after being plucked from an orchard.

Another fact: cacti fruit is not tasty. Another: sweet granadillas are the best kind of passion fruit.

that's the makings of a good night right there.

 

[Mr Noone]

Me, too. In my basement in case a hurricane comes.

Yummy.

muscadine grapes make some of the best jelly i have ever tasted.

Shirley you're joking!

The past is where I live, mostly. The people dress nicely, as a rule, and the cars are much prettier.

The future.

Kensington Pride aka Bowen mangos.

If there were a god these would be his fruit.

Morning and evening
Maids heard the goblins cry:
“Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy:
Apples and quinces,
Lemons and oranges,
Plump unpeck’d cherries,
Melons and raspberries,
Bloom-down-cheek’d peaches,
Swart-headed mulberries,
Wild free-born cranberries,
Crab-apples, dewberries,
Pine-apples, blackberries,
Apricots, strawberries;—
All ripe together
In summer weather,—
Morns that pass by,
Fair eves that fly;
Come buy, come buy:
Our grapes fresh from the vine,
Pomegranates full and fine,
Dates and sharp bullaces,
Rare pears and greengages,
Damsons and bilberries,
Taste them and try:
Currants and gooseberries,
Bright-fire-like barberries,
Figs to fill your mouth,
Citrons from the South,
Sweet to tongue and sound to eye;
Come buy, come buy."

I suspect I have only ever had inferior McIntosh apples, then. My suppliers are clearly ill-supplied with woollen coats. But the ones I have tried have tasted rather nicely of apple. The whole point of Russets - especially the rarer ones, rather than the ubiquitous Egremont- is that they taste like nothing else on earth. They are like lychees in that regard, or Gewurtztraminer, or Vacherin Mont D'Or: utterly sui generis.

The best apples I ever had was from a roadside stand in Oxford, New Jersey, in the wild northwest. They were called Macouts, definitely an heirloom variety. Small (plum sized), crisp and tart. That's over thirty years ago and I still remember them.

Oh yes. I love them because they taste precisely like an apple. And a rambutan seems and tastes very much like a lychee, which seems and tastes very much like a longan. But I take your point - a glass of Gewurtztraminer sounds lovely.

I came home from work earlier with a big bag of rhubarb from my mate's allotment. I fucking LOVE rhubarb.

Crumble making tomorrow.

Not only is rhubarb tasty, the color is so gorgeous. My mother grew it everywhere that was possible.

Try it with salt. It's yummy and addicting. By the way, I didn't know it till recently that the roots and leaves are poisonous.

Korean pears are quite good. Huge with an almost apple texture.

Raspberries grow wild every where, which is fucking awesome.

Always had a sweet spot for black currants. Reminds me of back 'ome. My mum made awesome black currant tarts.

We lived across the road from an apple orchard. If we weren't raiding it, we were working there. Bog only knows how many apples we would eat in late summer and fall. Usually Mackintosh.

I'll warm my cobbler for you, if you'll allow me your crumble.

Wood strawberries are the best strawberries.

Aftrer 30 years of being more-or-less fluent in English I still learn new things. Today I learned what you guys call all Fragraria strawberries.
