“Think of a nectarine, what we eat is the precious, sweet, nectar flesh that surrounds the stone/seed of the plant. The seed is clearly separate from the flesh. The flesh is the thing that is, so to say, given karmically freely. Think of a melon, what we eat is the deliciously tasting flesh of the melon. Not the seeds in the centre which generally get left out of the digestive experience. (Yes, I'm aware that some cultures roast them, but fresh out of the fruit they are none too appealing in my eyes). Think of a papaya, we eat the life giving, juicy, vibrantly colourful, sweet flesh of the papaya. the small black seeds get released back into nature. Or should. Think of an apple. The flesh is savoured, the core, discarded. I could continue ad infinitum.” SeedsKarmaNectarFruitarianEden FruitarianFruitarianismNectarinesPapayaMelon Book:Destination Eden - Eden Fruitarianism Explained Source: Destination Eden - Eden Fruitarianism Explained

“I knew he was unreliable, but he was fun to be with. He was a child’s ideal companion, full of surprises and happy animal energy. He enjoyed food and drink. He liked to try new things. He brought home coconuts, papayas, mangoes, and urged them on our reluctant conservative selves. On Sundays he liked to discover new places, take us on endless bus or trolley rides to some new park or beach he knew about. He always counseled daring, in whatever situation, the courage to test the unknown, an instruction that was thematically in opposition to my mother’s.” TryingChildrenSelfHomeMotherEnergyFunAnimalSituationDrinkIdealsTestsSurpriseConservativeEndlessEnjoyedBeachParksOppositionSundayCompanionBusInstructionDaringNew ThingsReluctantUnreliableNew PlacesFood And DrinkCoconutsTrolleysPapaya Book:World's Fair: A Novel Source: World's Fair: A Novel
“Every Super Bowl, I do different food each quarter from each of the hometowns of the teams competing. So I’m always hoping for cities with a gastronomic soul—not so much Indianapolis or Denver, right? For halftime we have New York hot dogs from Papaya Dog. And at the end of the game I’ve chosen a dessert based on who I think is going to win.” ThinkingDifferentSoulEndsGamesWinningCitiesTeamDogNew YorkHotChosenQuartersBowlsCompetingDessertSuper BowlHometownHot DogDenverIndianapolisHalftimePapaya Author:Mario Batali
