Sharon

I've been having these as an emergency snack; they are so sweet they make a great substitute for chocolate!

They've made me wonder why more things don't have decent names.

I know the real name is persimmon; but Sharon is just easier.

Think how much easier life would be if other things were named this way? What if medications (which are usually convoluted, unpronounceable names) were simplified?
'Mr Smith, you have an infection. Take this course of Shirley 3 times a day for a week'

Genius!

***TOP TIP - an Asian friend once told me always buy the Sharon fruit that are tomato shaped rather than apple shaped; they are sweeter
