In produce news, this just in: pluots are fucking delicious! I first had one on Maui last year, a golden-yellow miniature globe of sweetness that I can only imagine as the fruit of the gods, comprising a glorious mixture of plum and apricot. Pluot, I am given to understand, is actually a trademark of a hybrid fruit previously called a plumcot, which is about 70% plum, 30% apricot. There are also apriums, with a reversed ratio, being more apricotty.
I didn't see pluots at Safeway this afternoon, and asked the produce guy (it's always a good idea to make friends with the produce guy), who told me "they should be in soon."
Set a case aside for me, please!
