Heh I will remember that! Thanks!

I’m sure I won’t find a fresh one, but I remember seeing something that looked like that at one of the local Asian supermarkets I spend way too much money at.

No, I don’t think I’ve tried durian. I don’t recognize the name, but the fruit itself looks familiar, so I’ve definitely seen them around. I’ll pick one up the next time I see it!

Yeah, I never thought fruit could taste this good.

I have trouble remembering the names of the specific hybrids, but I believe that variety is called “Dapple Dandy” or “Dinosaur Eggs.” When I was was trying to find the name, I came across this photo of some of the varieties of hybrids. It’s wild how different they can be.

It’s almost stone fruit season in California!! My local farmers market was selling the very first batch of peaches last weekend, which means they’re coooming!

Can’t explain how excited this gets me. If you haven’t tasted a fresh pluot or some of the huge variety of hybrid stone fruit, you’re missing out on one of life’s greatest pleasures. They’re colorful, they’re sweet, they’re subtly sour, they’re juicy, and they have the most satisfying crunch. There’s so much variety, and some amazing genetic combos. You ever had a peach that looks like a green apple on the outside and is the color of a beet on the inside? Well that’s my most favorite goddamn fruit on the planet. Fuuck I’m getting too excited…

At the peak of stone fruit season, sometimes I’ll just chop up a bunch of different kinds of pluots and that’s my meal for the day. Not kidding. When I first moved here, this shit changed my life. Best fruit I’ve ever tasted.
