I am learning about so many fruits today that I had never heard of!!! Is there another fruit that you could compare the taste of the feijoa too? It’s been so interesting reading about these unique fruits in the thread—-a big reason why I love forums… I’m always learning so much!!! Thanks for sharing

First to answer your last ? We lived in the appalachians, the foothills, in the south westerrn tip of the state of virginia. He only had one pawpaw tree lol I think it was a gift but I really don't know. So it's not like they were growing wild or something lol

Second, as to learning about new fruit, I've seen these in the produce market, but never tried them:

Santa Claus Melon



, I think I will next time I see them now because of this thread, lol But have you ever seen or heard of these, or are you learning about another fruit lol

I ate so much that was homemade as a kid from tomatos it just feels like home lol.
I eat roma ones like apples walking around the house haha tweeks out my boyfriend.
If I had to pick one food to eat for the rest of my life roma tomatos would win hands down.
I think it why us Italians live long and look so young. Most ppl think I am 25.
They perserve us hahah. That and the olive oil.
I am a bit overboard with the tomatos but omg I just love them!

But but but but, you're right on with this thread, tomatoes are FRUIT, not veggies lol I know, weird ... but true lol

See?

I do know this and didn't really cross my mind! You are correct. I think that why I can eat them like an apple as they are so sweet to me! It is weird but I get why they classify it as a fruit with the sweetness and the seeds! The more we know haha!
I hope you have a lovely day!!! You are sooo funny girl!! I love it!

I am not a big veggie lover but I absolutely love me some fruit! I would say my favorite is probably strawberries! We buy a pack every week at the grocery store just to snack on, put in lunches, etc! It’s been so hot where I am from recently and I love eating strawberries on a hot day—-they are so refreshing!

I can usually only get them a few weeks out of the year which might be another reason they are so desirable to me. Not around long enough to get sick of them!



So many people love mangos. I don't know if didn't get a good ripe one, but I just did not like it at all.
Happy soon to be birthday Pat! Thank you for hosting again

I think if you get a good ripe, orange mango you would love it!! Perfectly sweet and savoury! Yeah maybe you didn’t get a good onee hopefully you can give it another try hehe

Oh wow I’ve never heard of that! I must try it, although I’m not sure if there’s any available where I live but I definitely must check it out!

I’m only realising how much different fruits and veggies there are that I haven’t even heard of before until now!
