It's rare here - there was only one box in the store I bought it at, for £1.99. I've seen it at a very good fruit shop for £9.99 and in my experience every fruit I've eaten from there was perfect. I still wouldn't spend a tenner though!<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Nikki - hehe, partly tiny, but my behind won't fit into petite anymore!<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Vee - apparently, cactus fruits are a good source of water if you need to survive in the desert.<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>LB - oh, now lychee - that is a good thing! also, cherimoya.<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Selby again - knowing LB, he's not just talking about ducks ;)<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Minstrel - hehe, yeah but at least it doesn't stink! I prefer its cousin jackfruit.<BR/><BR/>There are so many strange edible fruits, but this is worth thinking about...<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Jo - heyyy, glad you went all girlie on me there!<BR/><BR/>Get you, all you need is a sweater? It won't be like that here until JUNE!!! I am so fed up of wearing coats and scarves and gloves :(<BR/><BR/>Once again, if we don't have summer here, I will take all my summer clothes to NYC and wear them for that one week in June when I will be there.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-22222614933817836102008-03-13T09:47:00.000-04:002008-03-13T09:47:00.000-04:00Love, love, love the belt and handbag!

Hehehe... Well, it's tasteless, try to find the purple flesh (but probably it's hard to find because here in Jakarta is also very seldom), it has a bit of sweet and sour taste. <BR/><BR/>When I was in Vietnam, everyday I ate dragon fruit, it's always provided during breakfast at the hotels.Selbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07928176267795475683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11083160.post-70934859062214896112008-03-12T20:10:00.000-04:002008-03-12T20:10:00.000-04:00I had dragon fruit once and still can't figure out...I had dragon fruit once and still can't figure out what it tastes like, but it's not an unpleasant fruit, and it must be delicious cold, on a hot day.neena maiya (guyana gyal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01358313821005038118noreply@blogger.com
