P is for Persimmon


We always get out our Eating the Alphabet book to match a new fruit or vegetable with the illustration by Lois Ehlert. Emma pointed to the picture of the persimmon when I opened to the P page... Hmm, lucky guess? Or astute pupil! Emma then got her toy knife and tried to cut it. 


(I ended up cutting it with my real knife but you were right on target, Emma!)
We have never had persimmon before. It looks a bit like a tomato.. Before taking a bite Emma held a piece to her nose and smelled it.

The sample.. 

The gobble

And seconds?
