Default elongated grapes

I always thought that grapes were more or less round.

In Lidl the other day they had very elongated grapes whish I find thanks
to google are quite prolific and amongst other things are known as
Calmeria grapes: These pale green, oval grapes are so elongated that
they are sometimes called Lady Finger grapes. They have a mildly sweet
flavor, comparatively thick skin, and a few small seeds. Also Moondrop
grapes,

Do a search for Elongated grapes and youi will be surprise at how many
there are'


Yes, seen them in M&S as "Dew Drop" grapes. I bought them once but
wasn't particularly impressed with the flavour. I find that a lot of
these "seedless" grapes which aren't really seedless are not as good as
seeded grapes, because if you crunch those little seeds they are often
quite bitter. With ordinary seeds these can easily be removed and you
avoid any possible bitterness.
