As I type I am just munching away on guava "crystal" - WOW delicious.
A new experience for me- I have always had the red ones before but I like this one.
I want to become more adventurous with food here & try lots of different fruits & veg that I see in the market, but I am clueless about many- bear in mind I am originally from the UK & grew up with apples , pears, oranges, & bananas & the usual sof summer fruits. A melon was exotic when I was growing up
Things I know for sure I have already tried
Kedondong - dunno the western name but I love its sharp kinda apply/peary taste.
Dragon fruit- tried a long time ago , wasn't a fan
Durian- I like the taste- hate the smell, don't go out of my way to eat it.
Jengkol- my addiction- I love this weird tasting bean thingy
Papaya- nothing new to me really- its ok but sometimes it has an unpleasant aroma - not a fave
Mangoes- deffo have gone up my list since I learnt how to get the flesh out with a glass- before that they were way too much hassle to peel
I really like the green vine fruit thingy too- lovely in soups -I think its name actually is "vine fruit"- I stopped being lazy and looked it up- here is the name I found :
chayote
(I apologise for all my highbrow culinary terms)
What fruits and veggies can you educate me about... I know I have tried lots but there are still lots out there...
Come on Pusp- I know for a fact you have eaten some strange things
