Are you certain?

They don't look like exactly like that. Maybe it's a different variety? Or they are cut in half?

Stick by me folks, and learn something every day.

What application would one use dried persimmons for? Your morning oatmeal?

 

[kwilkinson]

I think he posted earlier in the thread that he likes to eat them as dessert.

Bill was exactly $60, which is how much i brought to the market. Not pictured: one whole 3 1/2 pound chicken, 12 large eggs, 2 pounds of lamb meat, one fresh loaf of crusty rosemary bread, cabbage, potatoes, dill, mint, some other things i can't remember, and one container of the absolute best ice cream i've ever had.

The gauntlet has been thrown.

+1. That is a lot of tourne.

I got all that on the right out of one massive turnip.

I almost posted the makings of a tarte aux pommes du terre, but then I remembered all the potatoes were of a different size and my placing was delightfully uneven and I was overcome with self doubt.

I may try again,

By that way, it tasted like pan cakes. I haven't looked up a recipe. Just sliced potatoes, eggs, cream, salt and pepper.
