The Last To Know

Do you ever feel like you are the last one to know things?????  Mom says she does - she overheard some ladies talking recently about Cotton Candy Grapes - she had never heard of them before and after much searching  she found some and OMD - watching her eating them was like watching someone fill up a gumball machine! Now for the few of you who haven't heard of these (probably our overseas readers) these grapes REALLY do taste like Cotton Candy (or Fairy Floss as it is called in other parts of the world) and the best thing for Mom is they are extremely low in acidity. Mom doesn't eat a lot of grapes as the acidity in them burns her mouths and causes painful ulcers (so do strawberries and citrus fruits) but she had no problems with these at all. Sadly after talking to guy in the fruit and veggie section Mom also learned they are only available for about 3-4 weeks out of each year - so Mom bought extra and is going to freeze them! Of coarse it is TOTALLY unfair that we are not allowed to try them as grapes are extremely toxic to dogs - but Mom did buy us some doggie treats while she was shopping so all is forgiven :)

  7. Heads up - what? I eat grapes often. I've never heard of these and must investigate where to find them in our area. They sound marvelous! Then again, I might have a hard time (as usual) keeping dad out of my food. Snorts with piggy laughter. Thanks for the tip my friends. Have an awesome day. XOXO - Bacon

  25. My Auntie Jen has a culinary degree and introduced these to my Mom a few weeks ago. Since I am not allowed to eat them, Mom forgot all about them, but now says they are on her shopping list. I wonder what she is going to get me...

  26. Here in SC it took me 3 years to find them. I found them at Publix and though pricey, they were wonderful. Due to the short time frame I was always too late.

  27. That just sounds weird! Mom eats grapes, but never had these.

  28. I have never, ever heard of them, could they possibly only be available in Florida? Are they made in another country other than the U.S., that could be why we haven't heard of them DakotasDen
