Witch Finger Grapes: spooky fruit
Dear Food Diary:
Passing through Grand Central Market last night, these dark little things caught my eye. Sitting right next to champagne grapes, trying hard to blend in, unsuccessfully. Upon closer inspection, I was spooked and intrigued at the same time. Witch Finger grapes, what a suitable name!
(Insert witch voice and fingers calling me) “go ahead, try one chubby girl, try one… woah ha ha“…
These would be awesome for Halloween, to scare small children or even for a “magic” trick ?! If you have a kid who doesn’t like fruits, this might be a good idea! (…or not, it could work either way actually…).
Just holding them felt odd and a certain cringe came over me, though quite “cool”, like those unique shaped watermelons in Japan!
Upon further inspection, they are pretty much like regular red seedless grapes. The taste wasn’t too far off, juicy and very sweet, but the skin was a bit milder and thinner. At $7.99/lb I was expecting some spectacular new “grape” flavor and what not… just end up feeling like a damn fool. The only thing spooky was the price! Yes, I am a sucker sometimes, but hey! at least it makes an interesting post right?! (Please say yes).
