Do you know what the fruit in the clip art to the left of my blog are? They are persimmons, which ripen this time of year (in Tochigi, anyway) and are a symbol of fall.They are also quite good to eat. There is a persimmon tree next to the coin laundry, and the lady who owns both was picking them when I did my laundry on Saturday. The man who was helping her gave me these two. They are soft and sweet. Yum!
If you find them in the grocery store, be sure they are soft. Apparently, if they are eaten before they are soft, they have a chalky taste.
There are lots of trees full of them right now. Some will be eaten as is, and the rest will be dried.

You seem consumed (ha ha) with food. You have persimmons, we have strange ones also. Of course, we also have burritos.
