Like a little funny with your fruit?
Ave Torre-Bueno sent me a link last night to one of the funniest blogs I’ve visited in a long time - the Fruit Maven from San Diego who works her way through the farmer’s markets and fruit farms, testing, tasting and describing every kind of fruit known to man. Recipes included. We don’t know much about the mysterious Fruit Maven, she only offers this:
Note from the Fruit Maven
Each individual is going to have their own idea of what constitutes excellent fruit. I can only make recommendations based on the little that I know about you, which is in fact, nothing. You will have to determine your own favorite fruit at your dinner table.
Additionally, for the purposes of this competition, fruit is really anything that I say it is. Until there is some consensus that makes sense, whatever I say goes. Botanical fruit, culinary fruit, ripened ovary, blah, blah.
A tomato is technically a botanical fruit, but I don’t like them, so they are unable to comply with the intricate scoring system which requires that they are eaten. An avocado isn’t sweet, but I like them, so they are definitely allowed to compete. A rhubarb is a vegetable, please don’t mention it again.
xoxo, Fruit Maven
Be sure to bookmark for lots of fruit fun and culinary adventure.
whatever
