Cabin Cooking: Persimmons
I remember seeing my grandmother eat persimmons. She enjoyed them after they became soft enough to eat with a spoon. Recently, I saw an article in Sunset magazine.
This is a Fuyu persimmon and it's best eaten fresh and firm. The one I remember Grandma eating was a Hachiya. Those are eaten soft or used in cooking. I think I prefer the firm kind even though I've never tasted a soft one. Do you like persimmons? Which kind do you like? -- Margy

I don't think I've ever eaten a persimmon, though in the back of my mind I do recall trying one and I don't think I liked it. I'll have to give it another chance!
ReplyDeleteI've tried one once but can't really remember what it tasted like. We used to take a group of special needs children shopping each week and we would buy a different type of fruit or vegetable to try.
ReplyDeleteLearn something new every day...I don't think I knew anything at all about persimmons before I read this. I don't even remember if I've ever seen one. Now I'll have to try one.
ReplyDeleteSorry you were using the wrong technique for the kind you bought, but "no distinctive taste" is a whole lot better than "distinctively bad taste" so you're on the right track!

I would have guessed that to be a tomato! I sure didn't know what persimmons looked like♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/emanuel-o-come-o-come/
ReplyDeleteI have never eaten one before. If someone served it to me, I would probably give it a try.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I love persimons. We don't have them here but a family friend always make sure he brings some for us whenever he visits from Japan. :)
