I've just pigged out on mine. Bloody lovely. If you can get one try it. The ones in Sudan were bigger, and sweeter. I'll settle for the ones they have here.

I've never seen one here but then I've never looked. Only had them in SE Asia and got a bit of a mania for them out there.

Strange....the ones I've had have been more of a grapefruity taste but not what I'd call very sweet. They are a bit drier than other citrus fruits I've had but that's fine by me.

The caveat here of course is that I have never met a citrus fruit I didn't like

They're rare here in Spain, but when I find them I buy them.

I've only ever had one. Maybe I should try another one - I didn't find it bitter or sour enough. But I probably got it from tesco
It sounds like your experiences might be more informed.

Heck vegan sausages, absolutely foul. don't bother. Now I wouldn't have expected it but Icelands vegan sausages are really nice. They're a bit small, but at least they aren't mush in slime like the Heck ones.

They probably taste different when they are here. All the fruit in SE Asia is absolutely fucking incredible and usually different when you get what is supposed to be the same thing here.

We love avocados which we get direct from the tree. As with other fruit that's properly ripened, the flavour is so good compared to UK supermarket fruits. Although the oranges here are awful straight from the tree.They probably taste different when they are here.

It's the bananas for me that a really just so amazing out there. They give me indigestion if I eat bananas here but the little sweet Asian bananas that have ripened on the plant.....oh my they are beautiful!

In Mexico they have all kinds of different bananas, including pink ones. They don't travel well though
Fruit and veg in this country is a disgrace. Even in Europe it's so much better

Also the fruits and vegetables are often not perfectly pretty specimens.In Mexico they have all kinds of different bananas, including pink ones. They don't travel well though

I'd always prefer an ugly but tasty fruit over a pretty and tasteless one.

Yeah there's no wonder people don't eat enough of it - it generally tastes like crap. Especially soft fruit.Fruit and veg in this country is a disgrace. Even in Europe it's so much better
They have huge produce stores in Australia that smell so good when you walk in you want to eat everything in sight.

Two questions.japanese aubergine. Much less faff to prep
What prep do you do with aubergines that makes them any faff at all in the first place??
Secondly Japanese aubergines (nasu) just tend to be smaller, (maybe a tad lighter with a slightly thinner skin), what difference did you experience that made it easier to prepare?

They do snack size ones in Lidl, but they still have stones and look the correct shape.
I did hear a while back they were trying to breed a small stoneless one which you could eat the skin of like an apple.

I got these from the grower. The normal ones are full of flavour and have a butter like texture.

I do love avacados but they can be very hit and miss in the UK, even in the same batch. I generally eat them as they are as a snack, but it can be messy if you are out and about.

Samba sounds like tsampa - roast barley flour - usually diluted with tea and rolled into a ball/mash/paste/porridge (depends what texture you like) - Tibetan staple dish and the Dalai Lama's breakfast apparently
