Honest thoughts on the venerable persimmon?

luv it

I don't think he has persimmon to do that

tastes like cum

I hope he throws that rabbit onto hot coals

Theyre delicious. They made it to my country (aSEAnfag) a couple of years ago, only available in the major cities. The first wave were harder than what they were supposed to, and looked like orange tomatoes in a way. Also mildly sweet with this flesh that itched your gums when you ate it. Kinda annoying but still worth it.
These days i can buy them in my small town, and they're much closer to the Japanese version, extremely soft, very sweet

WTF is this real?!?

Also I don’t like them, too astringent unless it’s perfectly ripe, and even then the taste is too mild

what the fuck is a persimmon anyway? i imagine it being a peach that tastes like cloves or something. I'm highly suspicious of it. and after seeing that dumb animal enjoying it I want to keep it even further away from myself and the ones I love

>>21647882 (OP)
I've tried a couple and they were both very bland. Like sugar water.

>duuuude they are perfectly ripe for only one day in the year
Peaches for pretentious faggots.

Movin' to the country, I'm gonna eat a lot of persimmons

Persimmons come from a can
They were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
If I had my little way
I'd eat persimmons every day
Sun-soakin' bulges in the shade

which

>>21648596
Fuyu or Jiro

as the other anon pointed out they have to be almost falling apart ripe to be good and not astringent. although they have a very good taste here, something like a caramel/gummi sweet.
my gf many years ago brought me dried hachiya from japan, i still think its the best dried fruit ive ever eaten.
i really need to plant some trees they grow well in my area

>>21648808
if you want to plant one you need to do it asap. it will take years before it bears any fruit. 4 years at best

Many people like them when they are ripe and have a gel-like flesh like a tomato, but I prefer the unripe, crispy ones.

>>21648810
im going to plant more than one lol and other fruit trees. im lucky to have some other old fruit/nut trees already that bear lots of produce.
>>21648812
those are the fuyu variety i think, they dont have any astringency so can be eaten like a apple

Persimmon? I hardly know him!

>>21647882 (OP)
That's no ordinary rabbit

I found a wild American persimmon tree and the fruit was literally inedible. How do I know when these fuckers are ripe? Also the seeds were huge.

>>21647882 (OP)
Never had them, the smell is weird and I had a terrifying experience involving them once, so I made sure to never get near one again.

>>21648596
sad that the mature one on the property I bought is a hachiya and not a fuko or jiro

Why the fuck is it so hard to get dried persimmons in Europe?
I can get dried mangos, jack fruit, figs... but not persimmons. Is it china only thing?

>>21650429
I went to the local asian food store in Ireland and the lady gave me and my gf free dried persimmons

I prefer the crispy ones

>>21647882 (OP)
he's going to give that rabbit diabetes, they shouldnt have that much sugar in one go. it's not a fucking american

>>21647882 (OP)
I really liked them but the texture can be strange.A few years ago I found a wild tree in texas and ate them (picrel)

>>21647882 (OP)
I went foraging last weekend and got about a dozen wild American persimmons. They are pretty tasty, but they're small with a lot of seeds. I feel like they'd make good dried fruit but Idk the best way to process them for it

>>21647938
why are you crooked nose people so demented

I always wonder what's going through an animal's mind when we feed them
>hey, this idiot's just throwing food away
>oh! it's the free food human
>I like this guy, he always has food

>>21648539
They can be fucking delicious or terrible, depending on how ripe they are and I've not found a reliable way to figure it out, ahead of time. It's been awhile, but they've got a mango-like consistency, inside, and it's sweet at I seem to recall it having floral notes. Sometimes, they look and smell perfect and the texture is fine and you bite into it and it tastes delicious for a moment, then the astringency of the tannins or whatever hits and it feels like all of the moisture has been sucked from your mouth.

>>21648596
What's the difference between fuyu and jiro? One is darker than the other? Anyway, I have access to one of those, and I absolutely love them.

>>21651025
>free food, what could possibly go wrong?

>>21651255
Yeah but some animals are seemingly unaware that we're giving them the food
Or they still act like they're stealing it even though we're literally giving it to them

It's just one of those things I think about
