If you happen to be the person I accidentally elbowed at the farmer’s market while yelling “OMG! Are those Christmas Figs?” and barreling my way to the table, then this is the fruit for you!

Gift Giving Guide for foodies, fruities, veggies, vegans, friends, moms, dads, kids, and weird, awesome neighbors
November 24th, 2011 · 3 Comments · Maven, Nut, Tangerine
But first… a story!
(Or if you just want the gift giving guide, you can get right to it here.)
I have a goofy relationship with holidays. On the surface it doesn’t seem weird at all. I love them! I adore Halloween and Thanksgiving and Hanukkah and Christmas (I grew up in a joint household although [...]

If you are more impressed by Sean Connery than Sean Puffy Combs (in fact, if you don’t even know who Sean Puffy Combs is), then this Pitmaston Pineapple Apple is the fruit for you!

March 3rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Kumquat
If you think candy should include more hurdles in order to enjoy it, like seeds and pith, then this is the fruit for you!
Meiwa Kumquats are not your average kumquat. First of all they are round instead of oval and they are much harder to find. I suppose you could stumble upon them easily if [...]

If you’re so healthy that you do that yoga with the heat turned up to 100 degrees and you feel guilty when you eat strawberries, then this is the fruit for you!
