Grapes

Grapes have long been a favorite of mine. I remember responding when I was little to a question about my favorite fruit. I said something like the blue ones that are smaller and kind of round. To this my mother said that those were blueberries. Little did she know that I meant the dark purple grapes that we would occasionally find at my grandmother's apartment. I remember telling people that my favorite fruit was blueberries and then being confused when blueberries were actually presented to me. For years, everyone insisted that blueberries were my favorite. I did like them and grew to like them even more over time, but it wasn't until later that I realized that it was grapes that I originally meant.

Now, I'm not a fan of grape jelly, grape juice (except for the extremely tart wild grape juice that my mother occasionally made), or grape pop (the old Dimetapp was good, though). However, fresh grapes are a treat that I can just keep eating. As long as they're seedless. Thus, finding them on sale at Freddy's today brightened my day quite a bit.

To be clear, my preferred color are the red. I like the white grapes (which look green) if they are closer to being ripe. As for the blue grapes, I haven't had them for a while. They're not as common and I like the others just fine.

Yes, I know that they can also be made into wine and enjoyed that way, but as much as I love grapes, I haven't gone that route.
