"My grandmother used to make the most wonderful plum jam, and would leave the pits in. They were small plums so the pits were smaller than usual. We would spread it on toast and either pull the pits out, or leave them and spit them out later." – Tripeler

"As to not understanding why some of us like to set [our tongues] on fire with peppers, I recall an anecdote from a book on peppers I read many years ago. The authors reported on a study made by a medical doctor who was asked to determine why people would eat hot peppers that burned their mouths. The doctor, in his summary, noted that 'medical terminology fails me. I can best describe what they're doing as "mouth surfing."' To date, that's the best, most articulate explanation I've come across." – Mangobob

"I must confess, I really like cereal with my peanut butter sandwiches. Highly recommend Honey Bunches of Oats with peanut butter on soft, white bread (RIP Wonder Bread)." – ipsedixit
