Guest guest Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 Vicki: Been there, done that with overeating a treat or two. Not that often, just long enough between binges to forget that lousy sick feeling and swear it will never happen again. Whoops. : ) Forgive my ignorence, but what is a persimmon? I know I've asked these questions in the past, but have to tell you, I was almost 26 when I got married and my husband brought home a fresh head of brocolli and I asked him what it was. Never saw one in my life and didn't know what to do with it. Pretty pathetic, huh? Still learning about different things out there and actually have tried some of the foods I've seen posted on the list. I do however draw the line at the kaputski thing, even though my husband and his friend want to make it, at his friend's house that is. Not going to happen here.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 A persimmon is a fruit which grows on a tree. The tree is beautiful...after the leaves fall of, the lacy branches have beautiful orange persimmons hanging down all over like an earring tree or Christmas ornaments. The fruit itself is orange, about the size of a large apple, and kind of heart shaped. The pulp is soft and very astringent. My husband loves it, I hate it. I cook them in cookies and breads (not successfully it seems!)and they lose their astringent taste. There is a Japanese type that is flattened at the top which is crunchier and very sweet, non-astringent, and I am absolutely crazy about these. I eat them raw out of hand.
