Hachiya Persimmons with Mom

We're eating two varieties of Asian Pears with television's Katy Colloton. We'll also cover fermented soybeans, peanut butter worthy fruit, and some dog trauma (that ends well).

On this super episode I make 4 previous guests try the world's most controversial fruit, Durian. Join Nonie Kimpitak, Marc Lessman, Andrew Kamphey, and Mary Huddleston as they sample the fruit that's so pungent it's been banned on busses in Asia.

We're eating and discussing Hachiya persimmons, the 'astringent persimmon' with mother of the podcast Mary Huddleston. We're also talking Strawberry Festivals, decorative foliage, and all other manner of heart-stopping spine-tingling subject matter.

We're eating bananas of the Cavendish variety with a guest of the Marc Lessman variety. We'll be talking bananas as comedy prop, losing weight, and eating bananas in the dugout.

We're eating fruit snacks, those gummy treats stamped into the shape of a fruit or creature. We'll also talk diet sodas, Asian gelato flavors, and nausea from eating fruit snacks!
