i can think of a bunch of “introductory“ fruits from over the years (too bleeping many years to count) but those plum/apricots that look so ugly on the outside but brilliantly red inside and deliciously juicy and sweet/tart. they’ve gone by the names pluot, dinosaur plums and some other names and speaking of ugly, what about uglies (the legitimate fruit kind). that’s a name to change. but they are ugly tangerine like fruit and also delicious and sweet. now kiwis are still kiwis but i guarantee that the fruit they sell now is something surely genetically manipulated to be whatever the pathetic mess they were manipulated into being. and if i only could, i’d be snacking on any of these right now - if i could get my hands on them. instead i’m eating cheddar cheese and sipping earl grey tea. but that is a whole nother story!
