re: #17 marjoriemoon

I hate black-eyed peas, the food and the band. I made it one year, nobody ate it, everybody hated it, in the words of the supervillain Kahane, “Never Again!”

Since Rosh Hashanah always includes a new fruit, it’s getting harder to find “new fruit” that isn’t already available all year round. This year I got a pomegranate, fresh figs, a passion fruit and a “horned melon.” One year I bought an exotic new fruit, and everybody gagged on it. “It smells and tastes like sweaty socks!” I think it was a durian. Star fruit is another fail.
