Anyone ever eaten a plout?

[trmiv]

I was at the grocery store today, and over in the produce section they had something I'd never seen. They were next to the plums, and looked like plums but had some yellow/gold coloration in them. I looked at the tag and it said "Ruby Gold Plout." I'm like "what the hell is a plout?" I bought some to try them, and they are pretty damn good! They are about as soft as a dark plum, and taste like a tangy plum. I've never seen them for sale before, and I've got a hunch I won't again, but they are very good. Anyone tried one? What are they exactly?

Nope, but i do like Kiwano. Next time I go shopping, i'll try it out though.

And i found this

Thanks for the link!

I saw this on there, "These plums are so special, and they're only around for a little while. As a matter of fact, in two or three weeks they may be gone out of the market until next year, so when you see them, enjoy them."

I guess I know why I've never seen them.

One of you should change your username

Kumquats > plouts, based on name alone.

I like them, but not as much as regular black plums.
