If I had to choose, I'd say I like the mushy kind better. I had persimmon sorbet once... it was pretty bomb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420744 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:23:32 +0000 prettylizy 420744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tasted a persimmon in my life..... not to interested in it after reading this thread either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420738 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:20:39 +0000 HabesBabe 420738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love both kinds! I think I'll make a persimmon tart!</p> <p>@shopaholic: I prefer those sections, too! They're more slimy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420706 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:04:21 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 420706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm obsessed!! Loving that it's persimmon season right now - nom nom nom I have a bunch at home and eat 2-3 a day these days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420704 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 23:03:55 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 420704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them! It's the perfect autumn fruit and the season is so short you don't have time to get sick of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420699 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:59:01 +0000 erwoo 420699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love persimmons! But one time I let an entire Costco-sized box go bad b/c I was just too tired to ever peel it to eat it. :( Yay to persimmon status though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420668 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:43:33 +0000 shopaholic 420668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on Persimmon status! I am weird, I only like the sections inside the mushy kind, if that makes sense? I also remember like the mushy kind - dehydrated when I was little. But it's been years since I've had any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420655 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:36:59 +0000 Meridian 420655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to like them! But the past few times I've had it (most recently on Thanksgiving), it gave me a fuzzy tongue, so I don't think I like them anymore :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420633 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:31:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 420633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!

I like the crunchy ones the best. I'm slightly allergic though so I can't eat too many. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420603 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 22:19:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 420603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried one for the first time a week ago... it was disgusting. It was so chalky, I felt like my mouth was glueing together. I think something was wrong though-- the chef we were with tossed them. What should it taste like? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420523 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:50:46 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 420523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: my mom slices the harder ones like apples and eats the soft ones like you'd eat a soft plum, but without the skin. i heard that in the south (US) people make pies with them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420520 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:49:34 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 420520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: thanks! i think all old koreans love persimmons. it's hit or miss with the 2nd generation, i think. my parents have been trying to grow a persimmon tree for the last two years...it's a hilariously sad little tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420516 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:48:43 +0000 wheres_c 420516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!</p> <p>What do you do with persimmons anyway? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-persimmons#post-420511 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 21:48:03 +0000 mrbee 420511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: CONGRATS!!!</p> <p>I thought all Koreans loved persimmons?
