Fruits
By: Amanda Gass (under title)
Strawberries
I really liked these little guys. From my fear of having a strawberry allergy as a child (it ended up being sun poisoning), to chopping them up to snack on, I once really liked these. Then, my mom told me about a video she watched on Facebook of someone washing their strawberries and little white worms came out. I won’t eat them anymore now. Thanks, mom! You can thank me for your new strawberry disdain. D
Grapes
Grapes, especially red grapes, are the unsung heroes of the fruit world. Once you grab a bunch from the grocery store, then pop them in the fridge….oh, they are so much better chilled. I discovered during one of my porch parties that eating frozen grapes is not only delicious, they’ll help chill you out if you drink too much. There’s only one bad thing about them: they are deadly to dogs and cats. Good for ducks, though. B+
Blueberries
Like grapes, I eat them raw, but don’t enjoy them in a pie. Is there a grape pie? I don’t want to know if there is. Blech! This is a cute little fruit that’s properly named that comes from bushes. I used to work at a blueberry farm as a teenager, which was pretty cool. When I was younger, I recall getting sick from eating too many blueberries, though. I personally don’t think they deserve a festival dedicated to them. Fight me. C
Bananas
I love everything banana - banana Runts, banana Laffy Taffy, banana perfume (yes, I had some many years ago), chocolate covered frozen bananas, Chunky Monkey, banana chocolate milkshakes. Banana + chocolate = best combination of all combinations ever created. Eating a banana by itself? Meh. B
Pomegranates
What a fucky yet delicious fruit! Pomegranate juice and tea is fantastic and so good for you. Eating the fruit itself requires some work, though - having to cut through the pomegranate, digging out the seeds, getting red juice all over your hands, staining any clothing, etc. If I could choose to be a fruit, it would be this one. A delicious treat after hard work. Yeah. A
