Not all grapes are created equal

So my roommate and I went to our friendly neighborhood Harris Teeter yesterday, only one of our favorite places to roam.  I mean you can't make two people who love all things food much happier than to wander around an awesome grocery store.  While in the produce department, which P.S. I love since they label where everything comes from-we try to buy local (and at the farmer's market) as much as possible.  Back on track--well as we are wandering we stumbled upon scuppernong grapes.  Now, we love wine, specifically scuppernong wine is our favorite local sweet wine. 

Here is the scene that followed.

Roommate-Hey check these out.

Me-Interesting, I've not seen these here before.  Have you?

Roommate-No.  Here, smell them.  They smell a lot like the wine, that has to be a good sign.  Want to try them?

Me-Sure, I mean, they're scuppernong grapes.  We like grapes, we like scuppernong wine, this seems like something we have to try.

Roommate-Sweetness.

We pick back up at home after we put away all of the other groceries.

Me-Want to try the grapes?

Roommate-Sure.

(as we are each trying one)

Roommate-(Hesitating) Um, interesting texture.

Me-Interesting is definately a correct choice of words....oh.....oh god.....oh god....I can't...I can't-I can't....oh god!

Roommate-Are you ok?

Me-No.       No.       No-no-no...it's like escargot just blew a snot rocket in my mouth....oh god...I can't.....just can't.

Roommate-(busting out laughing)-an escargot snot rocket, really?

Me-(scraping my tongue with a paper towel) Dude, do I look like I'm kidding?

Roommate-Wow, I mean I knew you were going to have a comparison, but I was not ready for that.

Me-How can a wine that is so awesome, have a grape that is so terrible?  Maybe we can find a recipe to cook them in, because seriously that is just wrong.

[end scene]

So in conclusion, not all grapes are created equal.
