I am going to Harry's farmers market tomorrow to see if they have any passionfruit or/and litchi's. Love kiwi and mango.

They teach me about fruits/veggies I haven't tried and they inspire me to try them myself. I also wanted to say thank you to your commenters for teaching me a new way to eat kiwi! I rarely buy it because I'm too lazy to peel it and then slice it. But I bought one last night to try your commenters' suggestions of cutting it in half and eating it with a spoon. I can't wait to try it! PQ, I want to thank you for these entries. They teach me about fruits/veggies I haven’t tried and they inspire me to try them myself.

They recently became available, or so I've read in the paper, but I cannot find them near my house. Kini - I believe green cauliflower is marketed as "broccoflower." kathy - we don't get mameys in the states (or I haven't seen them around much), but we do get the cherimoya (or guanabana).

Dear God, I will never forget the taste and texture of mango skin. *shudder* After tasting the actual fruit (when it was ripe) I found I'm not a big fan. It's OK in stuff but I would never pick it. Kiwi is OK as long as all the hairy skin is gone. Purple Cauliflower is a good band name. Damn – we should’ve chatted before your mango experiment because I made the exact same mistakes.

I couldn't handle eating the kiwi skin... just not my thing! :D Never even knew people could do that! I second the cut the kiwi in half like an egg, and scoop out with a spoon!

It looks pretty in a fruit salad, too. I think that it's cool how you're trying all these different veggies and fruits. I've been trying to do this ever since I started watching <a href="http://www.kathleendaelemans.com/rcp_veggies.html" rel="nofollow">Chef Kathleen's</a> old show on the Food network. I actually found out I like things like fennel and asparagus. I don't like cauliflower at all. And mangoes are a little sweet and bland for my taste. Still, every now and then I find a winner. Since you're Italian like me, do you like pomegranate? You should watch for them at Christmastime. They're one of my favorites. We grew up taking them to school and getting the "Eeewww," response from our classmates.

They are impaled on a stick and cut like a blossoming flower. Squeeze a limon (i guess that's a lime) and some chile on it and it's a great snack. My favorites are the ataulfo's (sp?); they are all yellow and melt in your mouth like butter. Simply amazing. April is when the mangoes are ripe around the country and we wallow in mangoes all summer long. Do you get mamey up there? It looks like a brown avocado. Put them in shakes; yummy! Also, we get yellow kiwi (dorado). They are really good. Down here in Mexico we eat mangoes like the one you pictures like a popsicle. They are impaled on a stick and cut like a blossoming flower.

Ditto for Kiwi (here's a weird factoid--people w/ latex allergies shouldn't eat them). I haven't seen the purple cauliflower, but have tried the orange, it was very good, maybe a bit sweeter? Not in a sugary way though. Mangos are soooooo good! Ditto for Kiwi (here’s a weird factoid–people w/ latex allergies shouldn’t eat them).
