Plum-eeches

I bought these at the grocery yesterday, they are supposedly a cross between a plum and a peach and I swear, they had this sign calling them Plum-eeches. It sounds like a terrible vaginal affliction, doesn't it? "Every since I took that cute bus boy home, my cooter is swollen and it plum-eeches!" They kind of look like something removed in surgery by Gregory House. They taste good, but, if the store can't think of a better name for them, I don't think I'll be buying any more.

we have been buying those also. our stores call them "Dinosaur Eggs" a little better than the brainiacs at your local store though not accurate makes them desirable to kids.

"Pleeches" - n., a small single celled organism desperately cross-breeding fruits and vegetables in a back-alley science lab with the hopes of gaining world domination and a bigger market share of the average shoppers limited grocery budget. See also, 'bannaneapple', 'blueberrytabega', and Donald Trump's Comb Over.

I would love those.
Another new fruit (to me) is Pluots. They are Plum-like.

I love summer fruit.

I like Dino eggs. I think they're just spotted plums. Someone has too much time on their hands.

Plumeeches is better than what I called them. I picked up a couple of these this week too...I told my kid they were leperous and should be in a bin by themselves away from the other fruit. He's used to my ways, but the customer beside me was revolted. I found them delicious.

They look like pluots, which are a plum/apricot hybrid.

Why do these growers have to fuck with perfetcly good fruits? They should be here blogging.
