Cute Kiwi
Fork & Spoon Mid-Atlantic correspondent Mackenzie reported an exciting cute fruit sighting from Annapolis, Md.: mini kiwi. Mackenzie, a sixth grader and kiwi expert, first saw the grape-sized treats when her mom, the griddle-giving Andrea, bought them at Trader Joe's.In addition to being bite-size, these teeny kiwi don't have that trademark fuzzy brown skin. Result: you can pop 'em in your mouth without peeling. But can we even call them kiwi without the namesake bird's fur?
Nomenclature aside, the baby kiwis taste just like their elders. "The skin looked a little different, but the inside was just like a kiwi," Mackenzie said. "They're really good."
Fork & Spoon has learned that the baby kiwi tasted so good, the
entire box was consumed before the shoppers returned home.Since Trader Joe's hasn't made its way to North Carolina, I'll have to take Mackenzie at her word. Meanwhile, I have seen some pretty miniscule golden kiwis lately. But that's a bird of a different feather.

Jon,
I want to correct part of your blog. As the father of your mid-Atlantic correspondent, and the husband of the griddle-giving Andrea, I can tell you firsthand that those mini kiwi's never made it home. They were consumed in the car outside of Trader Joe's. I never even laid eyes on them.
I am not bitter.
Sorry to have to correct you, but you know me: I'm a bear for details.

Ah, the first and definitely not the last correction to the blog. Thanks for this information--I've edited the post to reflect the update.
While the question was never posed directly to Mackenzie or Andrea, neither volunteered the information that the box of baby kiwis never made it home.
I sympathize with Tim, but can't blame Mackenzie, Andrea or any other helpers that may have been in the car. Few can resist the siren song of Cute Fruit.
JB - word on the street is Trader Joe's is coming to Cary, NC. mini-kiwi, you will be mine!
And mine, too!
