Maybe this is a silly question, but have ya'll ever had a persimmon? Because, as it turns out, I hadn't until recently, and I've been missing out!
Why did no one ever tell me that persimmons are great? No one in my family ever ate them, so I guess they were just kind of a blind spot for me, but I often try to pick up something random and new to try when grocery shopping (usually from the international food section), and last week was permissions, and man, what a revelation. They're like mangos that aren't a pain in the ass to eat. They taste very similar to a mango (a bit less sweet), but I can just pick one up and eat it like an apple, which is worth a great deal to me. I'm probably going to start buying them every week!
So, has anyone else here never tried a persimmon? Or has anyone else had a similar experience where they discovered a new favourite food that they just never tried before for whatever reason?
