I took a midnight grocery shopping trip for I was hungry and I didn't want fast food. When I got inside the store, I saw they had taco shells and spices on sale, so I decided I'd make shrimp tacos tomorrow. I picked up the rest of my stuff, including food for right now and remembered that they had chayote squash. I went back to the produce, grabbed one and came back to the one checkout line open.
I put my stuff down, and place the chayote squash on top of the hot wings box. A guy gets in line after me and plunks down two 24 packs of natty ice. He looks at my stuff and says:
"Whats with the apple, dude? What the fuck is that?"
So I say:
"It's a chayote squash."
He leans into me a bit, and with a hint of morning breath says:
"Dude. It looks like it's eating its own ass."
"It's a squash"
"What's it taste like man?"
And I don't know how to answer this, because its hard to easily describe. The closest thing I can think of is cactus, so i tell him it tastes like cactus.
"Cactus? What sort of cactus man? Fuck. Does it taste like, like mescaline? Because that shit is the worst tasting thing I've ever seen."
At this point, I'm like what the fuck are you on. So I think of something easier to describe it with. Meanwhile, he's still going on about different cacti and things that taste like ass.
"It tastes like zucchini."
"OH. Oh, alright."
wtf
