So I get to thinking.. Has everyone noticed these 'new' fruits that keep popping up?

It started with the Rainier Cherries.. OK great. a yellow cherry that tastes like a plum.. WINNER.. Available three weeks a year.

Then we got the wacky new apples.. Fuji.. Pink Lady.. etc.. Whatever. They're apples. They don't fall too far from the tree if you know what I mean.

Have you had the White Nectarines? A home run.. And I have a great appetizer salad recipe for Bibb lettuce with white nectarine slices and blackberries on a parmesan crisp with a lime vinagrette, so the white nectarines are a winner...

There's others.. I can't even think of them all...

'New' fruits.. Kooky... And don't even get me started on the broccofleur...

Racist.
