I was looking for quinces at the grocery store so I could make Gloria's yummy looking recipes. But I couldn't find any! Don't worry, Gloria, I'll check some of the other grocery stores! I did, however, find some kiwi berries. Since I had never tried them or even heard of them, I brought home a container. They look like a kiwi inside but the skin reminded me of a grape and the inside texture and taste reminded me of a blueberry.Pretty and delicious, too!

I won't even tell you what we called kiwis when I worked in a grocery store in the 1970s!
ReplyDeleteGood.
ReplyDeleteThese aren't the same anyway.
Right, I got that. :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these either but they sound and look good!
ReplyDeleteoh these are new to me also,, very interesting,,
ReplyDeleteI liked the color of them..and they are about the same size as grapes, too!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of those but I'll have to look for them the next trip to the produce.
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's Three-fer!
ReplyDeleteYou get three different kinds of fruit rolled into one.
Now that's my kind of fruit!
Never heard of a Kiwi Berry but I going to start looking.
Christine ~ I wonder if they are something new! Nobody has heard of them!
ReplyDeleteHeard of Kiwi but not the berry
ReplyDeleteAt least to my ocd they don't look too scary..haha
I did eat grapes a long time ago
So I guess you never know
Least it's something you can chew
Prob why it doesn't stir up my ocd with a view
Guess never know what one can find now a days
Not that I'd ever go on a new food craze..haha
Pat ~ oh good,
ReplyDeletethey weren't too scary
or too hairy.
Not served in a public-use bowl, either.
Which would make both of us quiver.
lol....
That is something new!
ReplyDeleteI have been keeping my eyes open for pretty bowls to display fruit in. I like yours.
Thanks, Martha. This is a sugar bowl! That just shows you how small these are! ha.
ReplyDeleteI can tell I need to try to find some of those!! Love kiwi. Love grapes. Love blueberries... Doesn't look like I could go wrong with these! Have a great weekend, Betsy. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteTanna ~ they were at Sams Club, if you have one of those. :)
ReplyDeletei have had kiwi...which i love....but what are kiwi berries?
ReplyDeleteBrian ~ well, Wiki says they are a new variety of kiwi. Grown in Washington, Oregon and the New England states! Hardy and sweeter than regular kiwi. And they grow wild. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute! I've never heard of these but have always thought of kiwis as being a large grape. They sound delicious! You're always finding unique fruit!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing betsy we only have the others kiwis you know (I think are the Silver talk) but I think these are more delicious and look nice, with kiwis we make tarts, salad fruits, (are nice with pears or orange) and I have and Kiwi Ice cream, Im the silly of Ice cream I have a lot of recipes, nisc epost! gloria
ReplyDeleteLove your blue bowl Betsy is amazing!! gloria I love blue china too! gloria
ReplyDeleteDelicious and you don't have to peel them either as the skin like the grape, is edible.
ReplyDeleteBee ~ right...just pop them into your mouth! They're really good!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of kiwi berries either! I'm doing some grocery shopping tomorrow and will be sure to look for them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting...I haven't seen these here; we only have the kiwi fruit with that awful, hairy skin. These would be a lot easier to eat!
ReplyDeleteHi Betsy .. I too went off to Wiki to look - a perennial vine native to Korea, northern China and Siberia ..
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious and the fact we can eat them all - I must keep an eye out for them here - they'll come eventually ..
Great post - loved it .. cheers Hilary
Kiwi berries?!?!?! These things exist?!?! Amazing! Thank you for this new and wonderful intro and pic of this fruit! Take care
ReplyDeletex
It is so cool that they come up with all these new varieties of fruits and vegetables. And thanks to some brave souls such as you who are willing to try them we get to find out if they taste good or not. Thanks for doing this for us.
ReplyDeleteI went online to see what a quinces was that Gloria kept talking about and it looks like the piece of fruit that a lady gave to my hubby a few weeks ago. I asked him what it was and he said the lady told him he had to cook it before he eats it. Hubby said she had a whole tree growing in her back yard. Unfortunately he fixed her line and has no need to go back otherwise I would ask him to get as many as she would give him. Then I would send them to you. Have you tried to see if you can order them online. It seems like it would ship in good condition.
I will still keep my eye out at the local grocery store to see if they ever sell any. How many do you need for the recipe?
Thank you Gloria for introducing us to this new fruit.
God bless.
MrsU~ that does sound like a quince your husband got. I guess they aren't good fresh. I didn't look to see how many. I'm going to try Trader Joes. If anyone has them, they do!
ReplyDeletedear Betsy is creative Tuesday next 8th? I made something special to this but Im not sure about the date,xx gloria
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a beautiful still life you have there. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy!! I'll have to look for them at our local grocery store.
ReplyDeleteGloria ~ yes it is the 8th. Make sure you follow the rules...Mr. Toast has gotten very strict with them. This time you must have the word thank you or thanksgiving in your entry. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeletenever heard of Kiwi berries but they sure look good.
ReplyDeleteBoy, a kiwi berry is sure new to me, and we lived around kiwi orchards in the valley... They look so pretty in the bowl, and I like the taste you mentioned they have.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of kiwi berries.;) Can you eat the whole berry or do you have to peel the skin?
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend.;)
xoxo
Zuzana ~ you don't peel them..the skin is like a grape!
ReplyDeletei have never seen then before. looks really nice, hope they tastes nice too!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of them either. They sound interesting. I bought a bag of lemons this week and have been making myself a fresh squeezed glass of lemonade each day. Yum. I think they look nice in a pretty bowl too.
ReplyDeleteBetsy, Mr. Toast make me nerveous and I know he has rules and sometimes I forget but I wil try to make all OK!
ReplyDeleteIs Ok if I post mine tomorrow ?? I think have to be Tuesday bu maybe is not.

Maybe I should have shared Harry and Spencer have been zipping all week!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous ~ hahaha...well, Spencer has been zipping for a year. But we had not seen Harry ever do it. I knew he must have learned it at school! :) Yay! Anyway...is this Linda?
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to find quince through Jungle Jim's. They even order hard-to-find produce if they can accommodate your request.
ReplyDeleteMLH
