Pluots…greatest fruit ever invented?

[Jbird]

I'm enjoying a couple of nice, dripping with juice, dinosaur egg pluots as I type this

These have to be one of my favorite fruits, I've never had a pluot that wasn't nice & juicy.

They sure beat boysenberries

They make for a nice photo!

I need to work more fruit into my diet, maybe I'll keep an eye out for those.

I've only ever found them during summer, but they are delicious. Cross between a Plum and an Apricot, hence their name Pluot.

I like pluots. Not as much as I like real Santa Rosa Plums, but they're good.
Have you tried Cotton Candy grapes?

I like em for baking (galettes, tarts, etc), but for some reason, plums et al never really do it for me for eating fresh. but I'm not really that much of a fruit person.

The variety available here in the Bay Area at farmers' markets is absolutely staggering. At one booth (Stackhouse Brothers) I can normally get between three and five varieties of plums, one plumcot and another three to five varieties of pluot, along with white and yellow peaches and nectarines. I love this time of year!

Here are one of my favorite varieties:

This time of year, you can't beat a simple peach.

I lived in Castro Valley. I had five different types of plums in my yard.
I miss that a lot.

Pluots are a nice change of pace, but plums and peaches are better.

BullSHIT!

Gimme a bat and I'll beat the fuck out of a peach. Shit'll wish it never been borned!

I've never tried a Pluot, but I can't help but think that this is the correct response.

Hysterically inappropriate...or is it appropriately hysterical?

Either way. I laughed, but I'm not a particularly good person.

Blueberries.

Blueberries weren't 'invented', were they?
