Your nostalgic tale brought back many memories of when I did the same, more or less. I love sour and bitter, so the unripen fruit and budding olives directly from the trees were my daily treat. At one point we had a crab apple tree, some of its fruit was almost inedible, but I still preferred them uncooked over sweeter varieties.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have an apricot tree, but my mother taught me to break open the apricot kernel to get to the seed … oh so bitter, but irresistible once you got used to them.
