Guest guest Posted January 17, 2000 Report Share Posted January 17, 2000 If you find ways to get to try new foods, please pass them on! I'm afraid I've pretty much struck out on that score. We're talking peanut butter and jelly, one brand of yogurt, kiwis, cereal, and perfect unblemished bananas. Although tonight Dan tried a Clementine and loved it! Don't know what got into him except my raving about how wonderful they are. I'd never had one myself until yesterday--they are real yummy.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2000 Report Share Posted January 18, 2000 It is a small, sweet, tender tangerine with few seeds. I had never seen them before either, but they have them in the Baltimore stores around Christmas time (and still have some left).
