    We could try a slice in a G&T too LB - solely in the interest of furthering our culinary knowledge...😉🤭

    Anybody know what they taste like?

    Sharon fruit is a non astringent form of Persimmon, grown in Israel. In my experience if you eat it at its optimum ripeness it’s delicious . If you eat at any other stage it’s not good🤢.

    Top Bird ,it’s a long time since I had one but I remember it being sweet with a soft fruit texture .

    Evening all.
    Just came home from cottage. I'm tired but today was last school day this year and two weeks of freedom can start. 
    Rain finally stopped and it was nice sunny day. I'm going to eat something and later I can rest with cup of tea.

    Rubee - so is it a similar texture to one of those tomatoes you sometimes get which are almost soft solid with a lot of flesh and little by way of pulp and seeds?

    Ante - I think the teachers here would go on strike if they were made to work until the 23rd our lot broke up on the 17th or 18th.
    That film Love Actually - where they have a nativity play at the school on the evening of Christmas Eve so the teachers & caretaker wouldn't finish work until 10pm on Christmas Eve... hah! never in a month of Sundays!

    Just like that TBird .I knew that there was more than one kind because my aunt bought both . I didn’t know the difference .Had to google that . You have to wait to eat them until they look inedible .

    Ante, time for you to have some quality 'me' time. A lovely fortnight to look forward to.

    I read they were a high fibre food so assumed they would be good for scouring out the gut. Maybe eating a lot would be just plain greedy.

    Eating an unripe persimmon allows you to contort your face better than anything else I know.  

    Dozed for an hour on the sofa so will now need to get my meal organised.
