What is your favorite Currant for fresh eating?
Q
Comments (25)
Hands down, the native golden currant (Ribes aureum) is the best tasting currant that I've tried. I'm not really a fan of black currants for fresh eating, and red and pink ones are good, but still a bit puckery right off the bush. I've been harvesting these native gems the last few days, and they are wonderful. They can be much larger, approaching the size of your average gooseberry, come in black, red, orange, and gold when ripe (often on the same bush), and are produced in abundance on very large (to over 10 feet tall in some cases) drought tolerant, fast-growing shrubs. Hard to beat... The catch? Ribes aureum has only one recognized cultivar, which is just a fruiting ornamental variety, so you don't know exactly what you're getting in a particular plant. This currant is not very abundant in the wild, is not grown commercially for fruit, and is used almost exclusively for landscaping. I imagine that very few people grow it in garden situations, and fewer still take advantage of the berries. Boy, are people missing out!

What is your favorite fresh pepper to eat?

Serranos. I must save hundreds of dollars per year when I plant serranos. Pluck, chomp, and depending on the pepper, if it's really spicy, I'm huffing, puffing and cursing while watering the garden. But anything much spicier than serranos, I prefer to cook, other than the first one of the season that I bite into, which I always feel compelled to do. Can't cook with something if you don't know the exact flavor, and some flavors have literally been seared into my brain lol.

What is your favorite out of the norm eating utensil?
Q

those sporks are interesting implements of self torture... Proper name for a "spork" is a runciple spoon. The word always makes me think of the poem The Owl and the Pussy Cat. Yeah, trust a literature teacher to know some odd piece of trivia. My girls always liked those little cocktail forks for eating things like shrimp cocktail, although Ashley would even use them for mac and cheese. My Emily loves to eat anything with a tiny fork. I always put a package of tiny cocktail forks in her Christmas stocking. She saves them for when she's eating "cute food". And I have 2 "youth sets"..like 3/4 sided adult settings and the knives are good for serving cracker spreads...bigger than a butter knife but smaller than a table knife. Yep, I have those ... and I use them for the same purpose. Things I like: - I am country hick and can't eat with chopsticks. Furthermore, I don't even have the good grace to be abashed about it. - I do have an affinity for my bouillon soup spoons; they're so round and friendly-looking. And soup is a friendly food. - I have asparagus "rafts" (real name?), which are for stabbing asparagus before grilling it. My husband's big-time into his Big Green Egg Grill, so we have many implements for grilling. Separate topic ... I have a tall, thin pot with a lift-out interior pot, which is for steaming asparagus. - I have more serving spoons than any one person should own. Perhaps 35-ish? Not fancy things, just serving spoons, slotted spoons, pie servers, meat forks ... but I never run out when I host a pot luck. - I have pretty cheese servers with "jeweled" handles. - When I was a kid, I loved those little wooden spoons that came with ice cream, but I haven't seen them in forever.

Fresh, tree ripened apricots picked from a tree grown locally.
Or a papaya I have gotten at the Farmer's Market on Maui....or a freshly picked mango in Maui.
Or freshly picked white peaches.

I love, love, love fruit. I'd probably place blueberries at the top of the list. The only fruit I can say that I don't/won't eat are peaches. Although the "meat" is good, I can't stand the fuzz. I don't even like to touch a peach. I love nectarines, though.

I eat very little fruit because most all fruit seems to make my jaws clinch, like it is too tangy.

When I can get fresh, tree ripened fruit, then I can eat it. Fruit from the grocery stores is still too hard and not ripe.

The only fruits I truly like are the ones most people classify as veggies - tomatoes and peppers, both hot and sweet, top my list.

None of the sweet fruits appeal to me, LOL. I won't eat apples, oranges, bananas, peaches, plums. I will occasionally eat a bit of melon, but never watermelon. I will ocassionally eat berries, but once a year is more than enough.
