When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. All the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man.

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.
Whoa.
ReplyDeleteYou're killing me this morning. Food and bathroom talk...Something just doesn't mix there, Babe.
I think we should all just go back to bed this morning.
Well, a tomato is a fruit and you can't make tomato pie. So there. :p
ReplyDeleteHaha, have you noticed that there is no grape icecream either. What the heck is that about?
ReplyDeleteConcord grape pie!!!!!!!! Its delicious, very sweet though.
ReplyDeleteI think you have too much free time on your hands. LOL.
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan of grape. ONLY with Skittles. But I love my strawberry!
ReplyDeleteAn olive is a fruit, you won't see olives pie either...
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
ReplyDeleteYou eat a grape pie and you'll be forced to do #2 somewhere :op
ReplyDeleteHmm 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!
ReplyDeletePaul Deen mad a tomato pie on the Food Network. It didn't look half bad.
ReplyDeleteI'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....
