Talk:Scuppernong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Is the skin edible or not?
"The skin is very thick and inedible.... the scuppernong can be eaten entirely.... the skin offers a tart flavor. Together, they go nicely and can both [skin and pulp] be eaten."
So which is it?

- I've eaten the skins all my life. I think the claim that they're inedible is ridiculous. Blackcat26
"There is a proper and time-honored method for eating a scuppernong, the object of which is to combine its various components into a single burst of flavor. Hold the grape gently yet firmly within your thumb, index and middle fingers, with the stem scar oriented towards you. Pucker your lips around the stem scar and squeeze the grape gently while sucking the pulp and juice into your mouth, straining out the seeds through a narrow slit between your top and bottom teeth. Use a finger to flatten the grape skin against your front teeth to extract the subcutaneous flavor concentrate, while guiding the seeds away from the opening to the bottom of the grape skin. The seeds should be left inside the empty skin, to be neatly discarded. The whole process takes about a second and quickly becomes second nature."
