dried delicacy (persimmons)

This is a dried persimmons - actually, a big delicacy, even though it may not look like that. Persimmons have a strong and vivid astringent taste, which become completely removed when they are dried. I adore persimmons for their outlook (this is one of my fave subjects to shoot in the autumn time), but I dont tolerate their taste -- except of the dried form.

The photo below was taken a year ago, when I stumbled upon the dried persimmons visiting a local market, and could not resist the temptation to buy some... (they are not cheap, quite on the contrary!)
