Miniature Daffodil Symposium 2008
Quick overview of a symposium on miniature daffodils held at the American Daffodil Society Fall Board Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee on November ...
Black apricots, yellow carrots and bubblegum plums: The unusual new fruit and ...
Try this, exclaims food technologist Hugh Mowatt, thrusting what looks like a slice of ripe plum in my direction.
It’s got familiar smooth purple skin and juicy orange flesh - but when I lift the piece of fruit towards my lips to eat, I get a distinct whiff of… sherbet?
‘Yes,’ cries Hugh, ‘I call it the bubblegum plum.’
And sure enough, it’s got the unmistakably sweet taste of bubblegum.
But
the bubblegum plum - also known by it’s official name, Flavour King -
isn’t the only unusual fruit to be found in the supermarket.
Other
unlikely taste sensations are the Crème de Lite carrot (pale cream in
colour), Baby Lemons (truly dinky, just slice one in half and plop into
your G&T) and Black Velvet Apricots (apricots, only black, of
course).
All of the fruit and vegetables have been specially bred for their superior taste by the food wizards at Marks & Spencer.
