Title: Getting the most out of grapes
Post by: Listener on November 16, 2005, 05:06:51 PM
I have discovered a way to get more flavorful grape-y goodness out of my grapes.

1.  Consume one at a time.
2.  When biting into grapes, do so vertically, between your molars (as opposed to in the front of the mouth).
3.  The first bite should be slower than usual.  Not like snail's pace slow, but not CHOMP!!!, y'know?

Seems to work.

This may be the oddest thread yet.

Who eats more than one grape at a time?

Anyway, you've got it all wrong.

1.  Wash thoroughly and remove any questionable grapes so that you won't accidentally eat them.
2.  Pick a grape.
3.  Peel half said grape with your teeth.
4.  Bite off the peeled half and savor.  (if they are seeded, after this step is where you get to spit seeds at your loved ones)
5.  Pop the other half into your mouth.
6.  See step 2.
7.  Profit.

A few weeks ago I was treated to a bag full of muscadine grapes.  I love muscadine grapes so much.  Especially the purple ones.

Bite grapes in half horizontally.  What's wrong with you people?

If you try to bite a grape horizontally and you accidentally let go, it could choke you to death.  What's wrong with you?

Dip green grapes in chocolate and eat them while they're frozen.  What's wrong with you people?

I would probably eat all of the chocolate off of the grape before I ate it anyway.

I used to work at a place that is famous for chocolate covering just about anything.  Their "signature" treat though, is chocolate covered strawberries.  One time I was in there, not on duty, with my mom and the boss called us to the back.  We looked out at the garbage can and there was a bear, pulling out the old chocolate covered strawberries, licking off the chocolate and spitting out the berries.

I've heard of the frozen grape thing, but not with chocolate.

Why on earth would you freeze a grape?

Frozen sounds gross.  Chocolate covered sounds weird, but tastes so good.

They're really good when it's hot out.  Like little yummy bowling balls.

I know I should run with this, but I'm not sure in which direction.
