Fruit Diary
-
Raisins (snap-dragon style)
I was scared to throw my hand into the flames - it took 3 rounds before I finally grabbed one. But toasty and burnt, it was far better than any ordinary raisin ever had been.
-
Cranberries
Better than raisins, but still, dried fruit isn't for me. I was cuddling with my bf as I ate them though so this was still a top tier experience.
-
Banana
I only like my bananas at a VERY specific stage of ripeness, when brown spots start appearing. Anything earlier or later is absolutely revolting to me, along with anything banana flavored. However, when in this precise sweet spot, bananas suddenly are one of my favorite fruits, by far.
-
Apple
Like many, I prefer honeycrisp apples. I went apple picking a few years ago and tired ~15 different kinds in a day, finally developing very specific preferences. Before I just grabbed apples at random when out grocery shopping.
-
Pineapple
I eat this carton of pineapple chunks once a month probably. It's a good snack. A warning: never leave out pineapple chunks or juice or everything will smell SO BAD.
-
Apricot
I liked it a lot! It was sour in a way that I love. Alas, each fruit was TINY; a giant apricot sounds incredible.
-
Blackberries
They taste fine, got a weird texture to them! Kinda strange mouthfeel.
-
Butterscotch Pear
urgghhhh I HATE this. Bad texture, bad flavor, skin is like rough like a peach but flavorless, and then the inside is like an apple but too watery.
-
Pomelo
It's like an orange but less intense in terms of flavor, also very difficult to eat and get at. Apparently, like grapefruit, pomelos can fuck up your medication, so be careful!
-
Sumo Citrus
WOAH, this is just a tastier and meltier orange, like literally just an orange, but better. Hot damn!!!
-
Kiwi
It's okay! Kinda sweet, tropical tasting, a bit tart? The box said Cut. Scoop. Woah! so that's what I did.
-
Danjou Ripe Pear
This just tastes like a normal pear.
-
Kent Mango
Weirdly, my impression of this one was first 'what if cantelope was good'. More firm than a standard mango, though that's likely just cause my fridge is unusually cold.
-
Kiwano Melon
ARGHHH it tastes like CUCUMBER but feels like JELLO filled with SEEDS.... I hate ALL OF THOSE aspects.... like any one of them makes me dislike a fruit but all of them????? VERY BAD
-
Pepino Melon
Bleh this just tasted like cantelope. It might've just been in the wrong stage of ripeness, though.
-
Lemon
Yeah I just ate an entire lemon and loved it. Thank god for these sour freaks.
-
Persimmon
At the local ramen place where you have to announce your dreams, I announced that my dream was to eat 100 fruits. Immediately, our server ran out to the back and came back to a persimmon. The experience gets a perfect rating but the fruit itself was a bit bland (though that may have been cause the ramen flavor from earlier was overpowering).
-
Honey Mango
Really, really good! Sour like a lemon, but not so intense that it hurts.
-
Clementine
Inferior oranges... clementines sometimes have a weird, almost medical aftertaste, like an orange with a hint of windex flavor.
