So, you know the old kids' song "way down yonder in the paw paw patch"? Well, paw paws are REAL! It turns out, they don't travel very well, so they are not sold in stores, and we have a paw paw orchard that is trying to bring the paw paw back. So, we have been very excited to taste our first paw paw, so we snatched them up at the farmers market.
It turns out that everyone except Savannah think that paw paws taste like poo poo. Seriously. Yuck. They are so mushy it seems like someone threw the fruit into the floor over and over until it turned to paste. But...low and behold...that's just how a paw paw should taste when it's ripe. Savannah may like them, but I say the paw paws should stay in the paw paw patch!
