Pluots you guys, PLUOTS

I had never heard of a pluot until last Thursday at the farmers market.

I was walking around the Capitol Park FM, on the hunt for some fresh fruits and vegetables -- seeing as I had like, no food at my apartment and had just returned from vacation. I was decked out in cheer shorts, an MSU T, last night's eyeliner and some oversized sunglasses. I felt exhausted and a tad jetlagged, ughhhh. But my body was craving fresh, non-vacation food, so I figured I was getting my Thursday off to a decent start.

So, I stopped at this one stand that was passing out samples of like, everything in the peach family: Yellow peaches, white peaches, tangerines, nectarines, plums, and apparently, pluots.

What?! I love hybrids. Is this like a labradoodle?!

I didn't ask any questions aloud. I just sampled it all -- really, to the point where it got awkward -- and then started loading up my paper bag.

I guess a plum and an apricot got down one night (go home guys, you're too drunk) and made a baby pluot.

All I can say is YUM.

If you're in an area that carries pluots, stock the F up. I've been eating them with like, every meal. Eggs and pluots for breakfast, fish and pluots for dinnz. Get on it! This fruit is seriously delish.

 I don't even know what possessed me to try one -- maybe my jetlagged stupor? Regardless: Game-changer.

****Edit: Not sure if I jinxed them because this blog is SO HUGELY POPULAR but a really legit website (that I happen to write, whatever) tells me some pluots are now getting recalled!
--So read up if you were actually considering a purch. I guess listeria has really good taste and also clings to this tasty fruit: Here you go.
