Thank you for the offer, but I have pits. I was hoping to find a
fresh peach, so I could use it to display one of the marzipan pits. I
would have paid extra for an imported one, I didn't even care if it
was ripe or not, but there were none to be had. ::shrug:: Oh, well.
I think the pits lend themselves to all kinds of interesting shtick.
"Alas, peaches are out of season, and I can only offer you the
pits..."
"We imported a basket of fine peaches from the orchards of
Meridies, but [person known locally for hearty appetite] seems to
have gotten here first."
"Our taxes are so high that this is the only kind of fruit we can
afford..."
I also have this vision of a feast... the servers bring a tray of peach
halves, with pits, up to High Table. The highest ranking guest,
having been previously clued in, announces loudly, "These look
very tasty!" and pops a pit into his/her mouth before anyone else
gets a chance to see what they really are.
