post fruit from your side of the world...no i dont mean apples and oranges...i want something u dont think ive seen :D

[Yan]

I know I know I know!!!!!

...but Happydudette told me my answers don't count....

[Dyne]

I can see... Durians, Tambis, Dukus, and Papayas.

Bet you girls haven't seen this:

http://www.moc.noaa.gov/mf/visitor/las7/10_salmon_berry.jpg

It's called the Salmon Berry. It's a west coast North American fruit that shows up near creeks everywhere in May/June. I used to eat them on the way home from school all the time.

Farther in the continent, you can also find authentic, wild strawberries.

http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/JPEG'S/Plant%20Images/Strawberries.jpg

It's insane how much sweeter they are than their genetically-modified counterparts. If you go for a walk in a mountain trail, you may stumble upon a huge patch of them. They're low-lying, so you might not even notice them if you aren't paying attention.

Tambis? Eh?

I've seen fruits like that (the typical berry) but in different colours. I love that picture you took though, very nice :)

[Su-Yin]

OooO its pretty...:p
haha
i dont know waht a tambis is.... :confused:

[Dyne]

http://www.gotouring.com/razzledazzle/images/tambis.jpg

Water Apple?

[Su-Yin]

water apple?! :rofl:
its real juicy...mayb thats y they call it that...im guessing tambis is what indonesians call it...
as far as im concerned those are called jambu *shrug*

the wild strawberrys look icky...i wanna try them though...

[Dyne]

Yeesh, yeah Water Apple. Cut me a little slack. Or better yet, cut me some Carambola. *rimshot*

http://www.gotostcroix.com/riding/images/carambola.jpg

Besides, at the Asian markets around here, hardly anything is in English.

The real wild strawberries look better than that.

I don't really like much in the way of fruit so I doubt I would like any of those. But I do like Pomegranates

[Su-Yin]

ive seen those at supermarkets....but ive never bought one to try...what does it taste like...how do u eat it?

:wtf: Those things are........ terrible..... at least I don't like them. :(
A lot of seeds.

The juice is probably not bad, but watch out because it gives terrible stains. :)
Edit: Talking bout fruit: strawberry (http://www.gametavern.net/forums/showthread.php?t=10124)

[Yan]

Used to have one of them trees in front of me house... (Why the hell am I talking like that? :confused: )

How to eat them? Scoop the flesh out, pop them into your mouth and spit the seeds out. Never been fond of them though... Taste funny...

[DimHalo]

yeah, you break them apart and suck on the seeds

I started eating them because of a story i read... I don't buy them very often. Maybe once every 3 years

[Dyne]

I don't suppose you guys have tried Grenadine. It's the juice from Pomegranates that comes in large bottles. It's mainly used in Alcoholic drinks, but it goes great in Shirley Temples (Orange Juice and Sprite) and fruit slushees. Also, just in normal sprite it tastes great.

Also compliments ice cream nicely.

[GameMaster]

The tangerine is a rare grapefruit/orange hybrid. You've never heard of it.

[DimHalo]

i love tangerines

[Dyne]

The tangerines I've had were only ok. They were basically either insanely sour or insanely sweet.

Mangos go great in fruit salad.

Yeah I read that. Grenadine sirup isn't too bad, but a bit too sweet for me.

[Happydude]

I WANT MANGOSTEENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Su-Yin]

haha we get tangerines in asutralia...and we get grenadine...i just never knew what it was made of...

Oh...the orange? Not the people?


*Hopes Mandarin is an orange, because hes only 99% sure*

*Eats one*

[Dyne]

Yeah. Speaking of which, they JUST started selling them before Halloween. I swear, they start selling them earlier and earlier each year.

I still think the ones that come in shipments near christmas are the best.

Maybe cause it's nearer to the Chinese New Year? I know my family eats them by the truckload around this time.

Oh yeah, burning question. What is egg nog? Being Asian and all, I haven't heard of this before...

It's a drink that's usually associated with the holidays for most english cultures. You can buy it from the store, or you can make it yourself. It can either be really rank-tasting and be low in calories, or really great tasting and be loaded in calories. Most people really can't find the inbetween. In layman's, eggnog is beaten eggs, sugar, vanilla, whip cream, and milk. Some people like to add Brandy or Dark Rum. Serve chilled, add some fresh-ground nutmeg, and you have festive eggnog.

I have some in my fridge right now, actually.

Has anyone visited Hawaii? I'll always remember eating Pineapple from the Dole plantations, and picking wild Guava on my hikes. The guava has 4-5 times more Vitamin C than an orange.
