Whoever said that a prune is the same as a plum was seriously mistaken. Maybe a prune was a plum at one time, but to my taste buds they are different fruit. Plum, yes. Prune, no. Just sayin'.
Hee-hee!! to both. It's the end of plum season, and they are tasty. Too bad they don't dry to equal tastiness. Just like dried figs are nothing like the fresh thing.
Hmm, I wonder why the noun and the verb are so different. Word origins are curious.
Prune...to remove parts with the intention of improving the health or appearance of a tree.
