Have you eaten Concord grapes? They're everything kids don't like about grapes--tough skins, big bitter seeds. The flavor is so intense and wonderful that one grape takes a long time to eat and consider. Also, they are one thing that hasn't been hybridized to extend the growing season. They are only available in the late summer, as they should be.
We were Italian vegetarians last night:
Mushrooms with Tomatoes and Mint
Fennel au Gratin
Lentils with Wine, Onions, and Tomatoes
Homemade bread
The fennel was sliced and parboiled for five minutes before tossing it with bread crumbs and grated Asiago cheese, then baked for 15 minutes.
No, I've never eaten Concord grapes. I'll try some right away.
