I personally like the smell that everyone hates, but that might be just me. Durian is one of the best fruits there.

Not a huge fan of durians tbh. Not just because of its smell, but it’s overall taste doesn’t suit me.

Because I'm lactose intolerant, I get most of my calcium from moringa powder, which, in its raw, unadulterated form, is unfortunately rather bitter. I've found mixing it with orange juice in a blender makes it almost bearable, though I still have to drink a glass gradually over an hour or so to avoid the gag reflex.
Anyone else eat a superfood regularly as part of one's healthy diet, and is struggling to find a way to make it palatable?

Try mixing it with oatmeal & milk. Then top it off with fruits, honey, chia seeds, nuts, and/or pieces of dark chocolate. You got a super breakfast cereal :lol:

If you also like seafood, you can eat sardines since they're bone-edible fish which is good for calcium. Stir fry it in oil and spices
What if America, but hyper progressive? Universal healthcare, Walkable cities, outdoor culture, and $1 Trillion military budget because we're the best. CIA love Teddy Roosevelt and the environment enough to torture Oil executives. Our conservatives shoot Klansmen, our liberals punch Nazis

I hope it’s really sweet

Recently, I’ve been getting lots of sour grapes

My last few batches of reds have been disappointing :(

A few sour grapes at work is bad enough. Imagine finding them in the fridge at home too.

My mother-in-law taught me a little trick to make grapes last a bit longer. As soon as you buy the pack, bag or whatever way your grapes come as, divide them into smaller bunches and refrigerate inside zip-loc bags or equivalent.

Interesting

By how long would you say this extends it?

A few days? Weeks?

I went foraging yesterday; got myself some crab apples, sloes, rosehips, haws, and blackberries. Got my jam making equipment out to make some hedgerow jelly.

It’s something of a big seasonal/festival based thing in Hong Kong.

I’m not the biggest fan but lots of people like. Many moon cakes have eggs on the crust.

September-October is big on moon cakes

MEEEEEEEEE

What could be more British than free food? You just have to walk and you find some food.

Well unless it was during the war. Young Robert had to be careful taking the last apple from Mad John's tree ;)
