Prunes ... Love 'em or hate 'em ....

[Katherine]

Blimey!

To be fair I expected more haters ....

To be fair, I love Marmite.

I love chopped prunes soaked in overnight oats. Dried apricots come a close second.

 

[Gravity Aided]

I enjoy prunes, as well as prune juice, on occasion.

You have just found one

Having been force-fed stewed fruit from battered aluminium trays from the age of eight, I just detest those prunes. In extremis, I might just accept the loathsome fruit, but only if it was smothered in bacon, and if the waiter had plied me with the best part of a bottle of champagne beforehand.

Spookily enough, it's what I imagine the inside of a soil pipe to look like.

I don't think I've ever tried a prune. Are they the key ingredient of something else that I might have tried?

In fact the only thing I think of when I hear prunes is the line from the Rocky Horror Picture Show intro Science Fiction / Double-feature ... "Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes, and passing them used lots of skills" (2:20)

Believe me Shaun, they are worse than your worst nightmare. Don't go there.

Likewise. The custard had a disgusting rubbery skin on it too.

Oh please! I forgot about that rubbery surface you had to break open!. I was thinking more about the black prune juice mixing into the lumpy custard That rubbery skin deserves a double spew up smiley!

This prune and custard abuse is a hidden stain that Society dare not confront.

 

[Illaveago]

They are a special type of sugary plum dried.
