Sometimes days are brightened by small awesomeness
I’m likin this whole free music trend
I haven’t listened to it yet, so don’t blame me if you don’t like. But wholly give me your thanks if you do like it. Because I made the album…
Quinces
So I was going to write about a few tings today. About how I love the girl at peets, and think I’m in, but I can’t ask her out for some reason.
How I have always lived a life of over-doing, living in one extreme or the other. How this relates to me growing up with my mom repeating to me over and over that I am in fact not an american just because I live in this country.
How I am proud of some personal acheivements, but don’t really want to list them because I don’t want to boast. I’ll do that when I’m drunk.
But what I really want to talk about is this: Quinces.
Motherfucking quinces. I like them. Put them in a stew, they taste good. Put their seeds in water and they have so much pecting it creates this jelly thing, where the seeds are suspended in anti-gravity momentum. So I was like I am going to google up some quinces, because we have a tree in our backyard and because I bought one to eat at the farmers market last week.
Quinces being raw: defying the internet
They are generally really big, and as I was eating my quince raw I was lamenting to myself that this fruit is really like a 3 meal fruit. No way you could sit down and eat a quince all at once. This is why I googled it. I was like fuck, this is a massive fruit must be some fucking information on this behemoth.
So I hit up wiki first, and it talks about how it’s like the original apple and shit. How it originated in Iran (like most other things) and how Greeks loved them. It also said that quinces cannot be eaten raw. What the fuck? I’ve been eating these things raw forever. I was like wiki has got this shit wrong. It said something about the raw fruit having too many tannins and that it would make it bitter.
I was like fuck wiki, I looked up another site. Again, “you can’t eat quinces raw because of the high tannin content and it’s too bitter.” What the fuck? I am sitting here, eating a fucking raw tannin, and you’re god damn American internet is saying it’s not possible to eat these raw. Fuck that. Tannin’s, what a fuckin buzz word. Oh no, can’t eat tannins…because…well whenever other people use that word it’s used with caution. Oh no, that is too tannic. Go fuck yourself.
How did the greeks eat them? How did the Persians eat them. I am swearing on my Persian soul that quincees can be eaten raw and are delicious. They have this unique texture, are sweet, and are a unique fruit eating experience.
So fuck your internet with all this disinformation you assholes.
