Idk, it’s totally normal to pair game with a tart fruit, think turkey with cranberry sauce. I wouldn’t with fillet but a fattier, more flavorful cut can work. Also a steering cut like shin or cheek maybe, with sour cherries or something.
I agree which is why we don’t buy in the off season. I can still be jealous of my friends who live south.
Which chocolate fountain would you rather dip something in? The one at the sex soiree or the one at Golden Corral?
For the record, I’ve never seen a chocolate fountain at a play party. 
I grew some strawberries this year. Very tasty but sadly only in season for one day apparently
This entire convo reminds me of one of the greatest ad campaigns ever, and specifically, this one:

On the topic of strawberries, I thought I knew what a strawberry tasted like when I lived and grew up in Vegas. When I moved to western Washington I realized that I had never actually had a legit strawberry. The local strawberries up here are amazing. Seems like a completely different fruit.

This is probably the same for most people with apples too. Like if you didn’t buy it directly from the orchard or pick it yourself, the freshest apple you’ve ever eaten was at least 6 months old, and probably a year plus.
Hmmmm. Aged to perfection.
Washington strawberries >>>>>California strawberries. I planted Quinault’s at my new house in 1997. Amazing flavor and red all the way through.

Are you referring to any of these?
Home grown tomatoes are the same. They taste nothing like tomatoes from the store. I can eat them like an apple.

Fondue is just nachos for fancy people.
Ban worthy.
Really! I had no idea they were that old. Is that confirmed? If so wow.
Can’t be bothered to find a source, but iirc the apples in stores at the end of the year are usually from the previous year, and what gets harvested in the Fall doesn’t start showing up in stores until January or so.

I had no idea. Very cool. I eat apples almost every day.
I used to spend summers at my grandparent’s place when I was 4-6. They had three or four apple trees, a plum tree, and pears. The apples were amazing right off the tree. I think they were gravensteins.
Those look right. My grandfather would box up the ones that dropped and offer them to me. I always politely declined.

Totally different flavor.
