Just the thought makes me want to bite into something like, say, a nonjuicy dried plum. That's exactly what the California Dried Plum Board, formerly the California Prune Board, hopes everyone will do. The more prunes, er, dried plums eaten, the better the board feels. And the more money dried plum growers make. The ease with which prunes became dried plums left my stomach in knots.
Political correctness is a big eater.
It won't stop just with prunes. Raisins could be gobbled up next. After all, they are dried grapes. The thought police would love to feast on Cincinnati's curious cuisine. But they must be beaten at their own game.
