lol if I used cherries to make dessert for others, Im sure mine would still taste better than the Swiss pitter. So we have 2 potters. The Swiss Rimel (???) one in RED. And a MIC Oxo Grips in black. I still prefer my mouth. I just ate a bowl of red cherries. Costco organic red $10.99 for a 2-lb clamshell.

I quite understand this since spitting often ricochet before the dog gets them.
However removing them with your fingers is equally messy if you eat a 1/2 lb or more as they tend to stick to your fingers

I believe her actual advice is that the pits or seeds of a fruit should be removed by the same means that brought the fruit to your mouth. So if you eat watermelon with a fork, you remove the seeds with the fork. I’ve never actually seen anyone eat fresh cherries with a fork.

I've always wondered why the Raniers cost more. I much prefer the dark red Bings. Maybe they're harder to grow, but our smallish Ranier tree was very prolific and has had no care for years.

I tried the Aldi raniers that were mostly yellow in color and they were grossly inferior to their red Bings
However the Raniers at Alldis that were rosy red mixed with yellow were superior to Red Bings

The Raniers at Publix were packed in very small bags so I succumbed to the temptation. Conclusion: nothing special.

Our Raniers were very rosy. About 3/4 red, but the flesh is 100% yellow... Just don't seem to taste as "rich" to me as the Bings.
