They can be thrust; They can be cuts; They can be left out; They can be fruity; They can be following; They can be gathering; But they're not. Not this time. This time, they're seedy.

nope. I suspect that there's going to be a lot of this- someone guesses a word without explaining why, I say "no" someone else has a shot-, so I might wait until a couple of answers are posted before I reply. Remember there's going to be a lot of misdirection here- I write riddles a little differently to you guys.

Wind? (not sure about left out or seedy) Nuts? Maybe not... Olives or Cherries might have more of a shout if they had seeds, rather than a stone, in their natural form, but could be worth mentioning. Can't come up with anything that feels a definite fit yet, though...

as you yourself say... wine is substantially far from the intended. Another day or so, and I'll have to give a clue, by the looks of it. (that's quite literal)

| Well, yes. Happenstance, though. And mostly the intended answer, but more strictly R, A, P, E, S They can be thrust; spear They can be cuts; pares They can be left out; spare They can be fruity; pears They can be following; apres They can be gathering; reaps But they're not. Not this time. This time, they're seedy. rapes (as in canola)
