The Raj/Howard bits never fail to make me go into fits of giggles!
I don't think I've ever had an under-ripe persimmon! I'll have to watch out for that. According to wiki, unripened persimmons can cause bad things to happen in your stomach. D: Also: "consumption of persimmons has been known to cause bezoars that require surgery in over 90% of cases" -- I thought bezoars were those rocks that counteracted poison in Harry Potter!
How do you eat your persimmons? I end up chopping them into slices and nibbling the fruit off the skin. I tried peeling one with a knife today and it totally didn't work (I don't know how to peel fruits with a knife D: That makes me a failure of an Asian person, doesn't it?) and ended up peeling it with my fingers and making a sticky mess.
