Oooh. You need to be punished for that one.
> >>>- chirimoia - cherimoya. The most exotic of fruits grown, but rather cold>>hardy. Can be grown in most of coastal Montrei. > >Not familiar with this one This is a Mexican introduction. Usually these are somewhat cold sensitive (you may not have heard of it because the fruits bruise easy and dont last well when shipped. I think you can only really buy them in states where they can be grown). If you´ve had soursop juice before, it´s very similar. The fruit looks something like an artichoke, with greenish yellow skin that´s indented, or pebbly. The flesh is creamy and sweet, with large brown seeds.
Oh, I think that's the one I call a custard apple. Shijia or shikya (Buddah's head) here in Taiwan.
- mañga - mango - lañka - jack fruit - niog - coconut (ok, so the Spanish could have introduced it and it could be called "coco", but i like the Tagalog term better) - ube - purple yam (not a fruit but used in desserts) - sampaloc - tamarind
This one was introduced to the Cardadjen~us by the Arabs so we have tamarindi. From tamar hindi - the Indian date.
- durián - durian :) - papaia - papaya* - balimbiñ - star fruit * introduced via Mexicans. >
I can say that camel is most definitely not eaten in Montrei :).
