I Ate a New Thing
 |
| Focus on this Nectarine |
I guess I'd seen a nectarine before, but I didn't recognize it when I saw it in the hands of City Paper copy editor Caroiyn Huckabay. I found myself intrigued by this nice looking fruit, with its gentle white-yellow-red gradiant and comforting buttocks like shapleyness. The nectarine was discussed for a short while. But only a short while because we're not freaks.
Today Chucks brought me one.
Damn this is good. Smells a little like a peach — and has a pit — but the skin and consistency of its innards remind this writer of a Red Delicious apple. The taste is somewhere in between, a bit pear-like, not too sweet but certainly desserty. The more I eat it, the more I wonder what this pit looks like. It's kind of gross, red as lung blood and the shape is hard to make out. I just stared at it for a while and now I feel strange.
