'Tis The Season...
A friend was making a comment about persimmons and Filipinos. He is not particularly into persimmons himself but was wondering why a lot of Filipinos love them. I told him, "I'm not sure why, really, but maybe it has something to do with the familiarity of fruits or their resemblance to native Filipino ones. They taste a little bit like chico, and when you bite into them, the texture resembles that of mangoes." I, for one, am really into persimmons especially the "crispy" ones, and when I peel them I feel like I'm peeling a santol.

hey, i love mangoes and like chico and santol pero i don't know why, i've never liked persimmons hehe. My parents love them though :).
uy, maybe you can give me your address and I can tell my mom-in-law to just mail you persimmons from her backyard... nasasayang lang kasi sa akin.
I'll remind you of another fruit. mabolo. hehe. in wikipedia, they say mabolo is a close relative of persimmons. doesn't quite taste like it though. plus, mabolo is furry (right?).
para sa kin ba yang comment or for Anonymous lol? di pa ako nakatikim ng mabolo
ms. iella, para sa inyong dalawa ata (not sure who anonymous is yet, couldn't quite figure it out). in any case, if you give me you're email, i can give you my address, so i can indulge myself in tons of vitamin c... hehe. :)!
