trying something old

every so often i like to try something that i don’t like to eat just to make sure that i still don’t like to eat it. over the weekend i tried grapes. i was walking by and someone was motioning to throw food in my mouth. so i opened my mouth and in it went.

what i did not know was that it was a grape. i made a face and nearly spit it out. i really am not a fan of the grape. but then i went over to the table where all the food was and tried another grape. this time i needed to make sure that i didn’t like the grape because it was a grape, not because i thought it was something else.

sure enough, i still don’t like grapes.

  1. but i thought you can always get a free krispy kreme donut just by walking in? but i guess it’s usually glazed (my fave, mmm!). mike, you are lucky they don’t have grape donuts!!! :p

  2. you know, i bet that i would probably like grape flavored donuts. i usually like fruit flavored products, just not the fruit itself. weird, huh?

  3. i’ve never heard of anyone not liking grape. what don’t you like about grape? the texture? the taste? i love watermelon but i hate watermelon flavored things. i am ambivalent about apples but i love apple flavored things. go figure.

  4. there’s not much about the grapes that are appealing to me, i guess. the texture is actually ok, but i think it’s the skin that bugs me. i’m not much of a fruit person in general, though.
