Artificial Flavors

Just a quick point about artificial flavors. When eating candy, lemon tastes like real lemon for the most part, orange like real orange, lime close to real lime, pineapple like real pineapple, strawberry is pretty close, but where do they get this grape flavoring from? Grape ices, candy, or anything artificial grape tastes nothing like a grape. Watermelon is way off too. Grapes are a strange fruit. You have grape juice and wine from grapes, but no grape pie. You can make a pie from almost any other fruit but grapes. I wonder why there is no grape pie.

I think we should all just go back to bed this morning.

An olive is a fruit, you won't see olives pie either...

It's more fun to drink "the grapes" then it would be to eat them in a pie!!

I think it's time you invent the grape and watermelon pie. It could be an interesting combination. I'd try it.

You eat a grape pie and you'll be forced to do #2 somewhere :op

Hmm maybe there is something about the copying of citrus fruits, they seem to be easy, though I have to say I don't really venture off to try things such as banana (perhaps the worst fake flavoring ever) watermelon or grape, BLECH!

Paul Deen mad a tomato pie on the Food Network. It didn't look half bad.
I'll stick to grape juice,it's good for digestion.
Grape pie though,I'm just not seeing it.

You are so right about the grapes! It's like chocolate-smelling candles. Nobody can get it right....
