I recently got one of these. Works great!

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Cherries have been cheap here but I've been told it is the end of the
season. I have given up on strawberries. They seem to go moldy the day after
I buy them. So I pit some cherries, add in some grapes then cut up pears,
plums, peaches and whatever else I have. Husband eats the stuff and it's a
lot cheaper than buying melons which have been super expensive here.

I have a little chrome wire hand cherry pitter. I use it to make my Chocolate Covered Cherries and cherries for fruit salad for the River Rat Ramble, a float trip I go on every year.

This was just eating cherries, oral pitter and spit the seed!

I've been using the same cherry pitter for over 20 years now, still going strong!

Just remember that normal folks don't make personal statements about people they don't know. You don't know me. You just think you do.

As far as the ingredients goes, I don't classify foods as good or bad nor do I use foods that another person eats as a way of inflating my ego. I don't check out the ingredients in the foods I eat - I judge foods by taste or price. If it don't kill me and tastes great, it's good eats! Rest assured that I will drink this stuff regardless of your disapproval.

I don't care what other people eat. I do look at labels though and this
would go back on the shelf. I don't see myself having a need for
titanium dioxide and four artificial colors.

That said, some of the best white paint contains titanium dioxide. It
has a place, just not in my body.

I don't know you but I do know you like to drink a science project
called KLASS Mango. You told us that.

My ego doesn't react to what you eat.

I would be very worried if you changed your behaviour because of my
disapproval. I wouldn't want that responsibility.

paint.

I am familiar with titanium dioxide. It can make coconut syrup shockingly white! As far as I know, it never did nobody no harm. It's not a problem for me because I'm not afraid of foods in general.

Okay, maybe I'm a little afraid of this stuff. It looks like brilliant white paint. Of course, if I had a pancake in from of me, I'd be pouring that on straight away!

Me either. Of foods, that is. But I'm not so sure about a sugar bomb
containing Fumaric Acid, Artificial Flavor, Silicon
Dioxide, Sodium Citrate, Titanium Dioxide, & Artificial Colors (FD&C
Yellow 5, FD&C Yellow 5 Lake, FD&C Yellow 6, FD&C Yellow 6 Lake).

If dsi1 consumes enough of it, he might sprout a pair of breasts one
night. On his back.

Silicon dioxide is used as an anti-caking agent.

I'm like Dsil. I don't care about ingredients. It it tastes good, I'm
in. It's not like I eat or drink it every single day.

I am certainly amazed with all the extra ingredients in most commercial
foods though. How in the world do they think to add tiny bits of all
these weird chemicals to our food?

My gramma used to spend a month or two full time home-canning all kinds
of food to last the large family for an entire year. She never added or
needed to add preservatives or anything else. It was only sterilized
jars with cooked whatever food....nothing else ever added and all was
fine.

When I was a kid in the 50s it was common for people to can their own
fruit and vegetables. Most houses had a cold cellar lined with shelves
of canned fruit and veggies. That slowed down a lot when we got a
freezer. Instead of all that boiling and canning on hot summer days , my
mother just put fruit into freezer bags with a little sugar and put them
in the deep freeze. Beans were blanched and frozen.

My gramma was a jazz baby. We bought our canned vegetables at the
grocery store and breaded our pan-fried fish with cornflake crumbs
(bought already crushed into crumbs). Then again, Grampa had a
good job as a tool and die maker at Fisher Body, and they had only
two children. IIRC his father and uncles were steamfitters, so
I'm a few generations away from the farm.

I resist preconceived notions because it always affects ones perceptions. I don't want my perceptions messed with because, in the end, these things are limiting to a person.

It's fairly obvious that the food of the future will be vastly different from the foods of today, just as the foods we enjoy today are not the foods from a 100 years ago. We'll be synthesizing and building food in the future. Growing and farming will be seen as too slow and inefficient. I think we live in the golden age of foods. We still grow our foods and it's safer and more varied than it's ever been. Enjoy it while it lasts.

The food science industries are sure to be an important and fast moving one..

Oddly enough, the foods I eat are almost identical to the foods of 100 years
ago (or 2000 years ago). Eggs. Beef. Chicken. Vegetables. Fruit. Flour.
Sure, they've been hybridized and whatnot, but I'm sure you could hand Apicius
an egg laid today and he'd know what it is.

My guess is that the fruits most people get today did not exist a hundred years ago. They are purpose-built for the market conditions of today. Eggs might be the same as always. The meats of the past would probably be handled in a similar manner as the meats from third world countries. Apicius would think that a chicken McNugget or a bowl noodle would be great eats. He would appreciate these food for what they are i.e., with no preconceived notions. The reality is that foods in the past could very well kill you.

He would appreciate these food for what they are i.e., with no preconceived notions. The reality is that foods in the past could very well kill you.

Recall that I was recounting my eating habits. I don't eat McNuggets
(but I do have a weakness for deep-fried strips of chicken breast
meat sauced as for buffalo wings) and although I often eat a bowl of
noodles, I probably don't eat "bowl noodle". (I wonder when my
mouth will have healed enough for zaru soba... It's great in hot
weather.)

There are plenty like me, especially here on RFC.

I'd posit that it's not the foods of the past that could kill, but the
food-handling practices of the past. A nice, freshly butchered
aurochs haunch sounds just as good as the venison brought home by
the thousands every fall.

You have a very gloomy outlook on the future of food. I recall in the
60s futurists were saying that by now we'd be taking all of our nutrition
in pill form, yet we still grub in the dirt. (Reminds me; I really need
to harvest some hot peppers before the plants decide they've produced
enough seeds to carry on their genome.)

Your guess is pretty close. There are a lot of things that you didn't
get unless they were produced nearby, especially the more perishable
fruits. It took too long to transport them and they did not have
refrigeration. When I was a kid in the 50s we had mostly locally grown
fruits, and only when they were in season. Oranges were a rare treat.
Kiwis, mangoes and their ilk.... never heard of them.

Some of the fruits were much different than what we see. In colonial
times apples were not the tasty eating type we see now. They were more
commonly used as a sweetener for baking, and the other thing they were
used for was making cider.... hard cider and apple jack.

Of course, but somebody, somewhere was eating mangoes. It's not
all about U.S. and Canadian culture. There's a big world out there,
and and awful lot of them eat just as their ancestors did.

This is all true. Yet, if we jumped in our time machine and gave
a Honeycrisp apple to my great-great-great grandmother and said,
"This is sweet enough to eat", I'm sure she would.

To make sure that people and dsi1 like you like it. And it works!

According to your other post, your gramma made lousy unappealing food?

I don't consider my views to be doom and gloom. People in the future will consider us wasteful in food consumption and inefficient in production. They may stand in awe of our extravagances but they'll know that the our foods and eating practices should stay firmly rooted in the past. Well, except for Spam, which from a tactical and logistical POV makes a lot of sense.

Food will still serve it's primary function - sustaining life. Modern Americans might consider food to be a symbol of their status and wealth and discriminating tastes but that's just the conditions as it is in this place and time.

A guy from a hundred years or more ago would probably plotz if he could get his hands on a Happy Meal or a Hot Pocket. The reality is that foods in the era before refrigeration, preservatives, and modern processing, were more dangerous - the Jews and Muslims knew this and made certain foods and practices taboo.

True, but there were lots of things we eat that they weren't eating either.

Yep, their respective ancestors. It wasn't just about them either.

Apparently someone did start eating them fresh and whole rather than in
baked goods or in a glass.

Too much information is dangerous for you because you connect the wrong
things and draw the wrong conclusions.

On topic: I suggest you be put on a low information diet.

Fruits in the wild did not develop over hundreds of thousand of years to
appeal to the human eye or be tasty to us humanoids. That would not make
much evolutionary sense.

Our papaya industry averted disaster by splicing some virus DNA into the
papaya DNA. This made the fruit resistant to the virus. The fruit is
different from the papaya I grew up with - the funny thing is that it
tastes a lot better. That's rather unexpected.

Actually, I think that was my post and my gramma. Her sister got the
cooking talents.
