God's Most Perfect Fruit: The Grape

The single most significant and influential characteristic of a grape is its crunch, its texture. Sour or sweet, a grape can be destroyed by the squish of unripeness. Even then, when a bad grape finds its way to your taste buds, is all lost?
No. You simply pick up his neighbor and quickly but firmly test its elasticity. Hopefully, it's resilient & unyielding, thus rendering an experience to counteract and trump the unfortunate prior grape engagement.

No other fruit offers such flexibility and promise; buy a peach or plum based on the time tested inspections of feel, color, and smell and you may still be deceived and hopeless, now holding your pitted snack in shameful defeat.

The in-season seedless and thus sterile red grape vine should be washed promptly and placed in a metal colander and then refrigerated to allow for proper drainage and chill, respectively. The grape, though content on its own, is valuable, complementary, and delectable with a number of various dishes; imagination is the only required ingredient.

So eat on, young connoisseurs of the vine! Embrace the untainted and loyal fruit of the ages, and live. Amen.

. . . . and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
