From Neil Dullaway

(9 January)
discusses a new fad in the US involving hamburgers
containing cherries. My first thought, also, was “Yuk”.
Almost immediately, however, I remembered that I had just spent Christmas
eating various animals (or joints of animals) stuffed with all manner of things,
including apricots, plums, walnuts and raisins. None of those seems a
particularly terrible combination.
If the addition of cherries really does produce a “lower-fat” burger, perhaps
we should give it the benefit of the doubt, although I must confess that I will
not be the first to try one in this country.
I have noticed that my local pizza delivery outlet offers bananas, cherries
and other fruit as pizza toppings. So soon after the Christmas blowout I feel
unable to consider ordering a “Pepperoni with extra cherries”, but maybe one
day.
