SEEDY

The other week I was cutting some fresh fruit for a potluck breakfast here at work. Strawberries, grapes, bananas and cantaloupe. I knocked out the first three without issue but when I cut into the cantaloupe I about threw up.
The seeds inside a fruit or vegetable gross me out in a way I am rarely grossed out. The same thing happened last fall when I was cutting a pepper:
I can handle cucumber seeds, apple seeds, pear seeds, watermelon seeds, etc. But when I open the fruit or vegetable in question and all the seeds are lined up neatly like a row of feasting maggots, consider me disgusted.

Am I the only one who looks at these pictures and wants to BARF?

  2. This has nothing to do with fruits, both cantalope and Aiken, but I noticed that Damaged made it on your iTunes list.

    Do you remember when I called you and sang that song? It was really early in the morning like 6 months ago.

  3. Not only do those gross me out, but the inside of a pomegranate does as well - yikes!

  4. If you and Jennie are grossed out by the insides of a fruit,I guess I will never get to be a Grandma.

  5. I've never thought twice about the inside of fruits or veggies, but that cantaloupe does look kind of ... exposed. I see what you mean.

  6. The cantaloupe seeds look like the inside of a shark's mouth, and the pepper seeds look like what I imagine cancer looks like inside the body. You know you think so too.
