BLUEBERRIES!!!!
I don't like peas. They're utterly uninteresting to me. I don't like the taste, i don't care for the texture, they look kind of gross -- a pile of dull green, slightly wrinkly spheroids. But every time they're offered on the menu, i'll try a few. Sometimes when i'm feeling particularly health-conscious, i'll even eat a heaping bowlful. But every time i try them, it turns out they're still gross. I'm nearly to the point where i decide i will never like peas. Not quite yet...
Blueberries are like the tasty oblate spheroid yin to the dull green wrinkly spheroid yang of peas. So every year i wonder privately if this year i'm just not going to like them as much. But no!!! I do like them as much! They're so utterly awesome to eat. I ate... a lot.
Mmmmm, spicy sweet, subtle, i even enjoy the spiky treat of the crown thing on the abactinal (that's a Mervyn Peake word meaning "away from the mouth (stem)") side of the blueberry, which turns off many who would otherwise adore these little planet shaped morsels of incredibleness.
you, sir, are an addict.
