Prompt: a person as a food

If someone were to describe me as a food, I am certain I would not be referred to as luscious, which rules out anything containing dairy or anything capable of becoming ripe, such as a tomato or a peach or even a strawberry. These, all somewhat round, probably preclude other similarly shaped foods like Kaiser rolls or select varieties of squash. So where does that leave me? While I long to be thought of as a tender pear, the truth is I am more stalk-like though not completely devoid of soft spots which means celery and rhubarb are out, plus, my hair is a bit wider than the width of the majority of my stem. Therefore, on further consideration, even though this description may bring to mind broccoli, I believe my true food nature is closer to cotton candy, on a stick, minus the cloying sweetness, of course.
