The Long Road

If there's one argument I would accept for the existence of god, it would be fruit. How else could one account for the wonderfully complete connection between the desires of my taste buds and the taste of fruits? It is a match, quite literally, made in Heaven.

I love the soft, smooth fruits; the ones with flesh that is easy to bite into and provide a non-challenging chewing experience. There is nothing quite like the divine pragmatism of the banana, the heavenly smell of durian, the godly butteryness of avocado, the spiritually awakening juiciness of a ripe mango, or the celestial texture of papaya. These fruit were made to be eaten, and I was made to eat them! Surely no cosmic coincidence could have had such a clearly intended result.

As Overkill once said, "I would be lost without fruit". We should all heed her advice; If you ever feel like you're lost in life, fruit will be your salvation.

Fruit cannot save me....

you gotta try a Jackfruit before claiming that fruit can't be your salvation!

Even the fruit of a woman can't save me now!

You forgot lychee and peaches.. mmmmm peaches. Pears are darned good when they're ripe, too.

hmm..not a huge fan of your fruits. Peaches are not worth the effort of peeling them and lychee are a bit too squirty. Also, not a fan of the hard fruits..like apples and pears.

You peel peaches?! Then I guess you'll freak when I tell you that I eat kiwi with its skin.

Personally, I love raspberries, cherries, and the underrated grapefruit.

lol ...wth ...you eat kiwi skin? man, why not just eat the fur off your cat?

Why on earth would you peel peaches?!

...hehe.. squirty. :P They are, but the flavour is very delicate and sweet, almost like eating flowers (not that I've really eaten any).

Pears are not hard fruit when they're ripe, unless you buy Bosc pears -- those never go soft. Packham or D'Anjou pears will go softer if you let them ripen.. and then, my friend, they're heaven.

I don't have a cat...plus, I'm sure the cat's fur wouldn't contain a store of vitamins...:P!
