[Sca-cooks] OOP -- Persimmons

[david friedman]

>How would one use these?

Persimmons are normally eaten raw, like other fruits. The one tricky 
thing is that they have to be ripe, which means soft. Unripe 
persimmons are astringent--they leave your mouth feeling as though it 
ought to be puckering up. So you have to leave the persimmon until it 
is soft--more like the texture of a tomato than an apple, and more 
like a bag of skin filled with custard than like a tomato.

At which point they are yummy.
