Grapes, yes grapes, and bad ones at that!

    Okay so I bought a bunch of grapes, and I'm a horrible shopper I must admit. I ate a bunch of good ones but it seems I've been screwed over (once again sigh:rolleyes:) and bought many bad ones. I can't figure out what to do with them, anyone have any recipes or uses for bad grapes?

    You could ferment and turn them into wine.

    Well, the shop in my city is nice, and if you go back to them and show them, they'll usually change them to avoid making a scene :D

    Might want to try that.

    Oh yeah, if you make a smoothy and dilute it with sugar and several different fruits (more than grapes of course) then I'm sure you can't taste a thing.

    Disclaimer: not sure if you can or should really do anything with these bad grapes, what if it makes your stomach upset?

    He said bad grapes, so I assumed they're probably bruised (since grocery stores can't sell moldy grapes, that would be :eek: a major health hazard)

    Grapes are sold moldy a lot. Workers don't dig into the bags and inspect, they just read a date and fly it when the date comes around. The bruised ones aren't really "bad".

    :eek: when I shop for fruits, I don't get bruised fruits since they're "Bad" to me (meaning I don't eat those parts).

    Do they? :eek: I thought you'd have health regulations.. atleast I haven't encountered any moldy ones here in Canada yet.

    I've encountered them too many times. lol It's hard to find a bag of grapes that don;t have old ones in them with a little mold.

    Maybe that's why they get moldy (frequently before being sold). Do you guys import your grapes?

    I'm here in Canada and everything's mainly fresh since it's grown here (save time for importing) and sold instantly. We still import fruits of course ;)
