One of the vendors was selling it at the local farmer's market, and it looked so interesting I had to give it a try. I asked Jenny and May if they recognized it, but all they could offer was that it is some kind of fruit. After tasting a tiny piece, I can tell you that the only thing fruit-like about this substance is that it is sweet, but it is completely woody and fibrous. It is like eating a sweet piece of tree bark. Not surprising, actually, considering what it looks like. If anyone know what this "fruit" is, I'd love to hear.</div>Alexa Hulseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09333525416434100363noreply@blogger.com
