Persimmons. I know they’re available at least in the bay area because I had them when I lived there briefly, but have never found them in my regular home in the pacific northwest. I also don’t remember them as a kid growing up in Tennessee.
No, but my oldest son(6) loves them. There used to be an olives stand at the farmer’s market near us and we surprised them by bringing a toddler who wanted olives. We let him try a bunch of different kinds. I will eat olives if I’m drunk and someone gives me a slice of pizza that has them, but otherwise they’re a no for me.

I feel like it’s similar to social media, but serves a different purpose at least in my use of it.

Trying to keep my very picky eater 3yo healthy as we’re (hopefully) expanding his diet. Right now the only foods I can get him to actually eat are McDonald’s, a specific brand of yogurt, banana bread, some crackers and some bars. Refuses any beverage besides water. (He’s likely on the spectrum.)

Are there any household gadgets you found unexpectedly useful after you'd gotten them?
