Well, I don’t know if I would class them as weird as they are quite normal to us Raw Fooders in these parts of Australia, but I guess mainstream people would consider them weird.

I have had the Black Sapote (Chocolate Pudding Fruit) that you had there, Durian, Star Apples, Custard Apples, Jackfruit, Lychees, Dragonfruit, Mamey Sapote, Jaboticaba, etc.

My favourite would be Durian…Yummo! My wife is going to Thailand to hang out with the Boutenko family in April and is really looking forward to the Durian over there! I am jealous!

We are really lucky to have a farm and fruit themed park called Tropical Fruit World near here. It is awesome!

Durian popsicles are Mateo (6yr’s old) favorite, but we also liked pure Custard Apples from Australia. Mateo loves your theme music! And my mom sent us the link to this show just for him so he could see the Silly Bird! ThanX again for a great show!

Persimmon by far is the most disgusting fruit I’ve ever eaten…I got a little sick feeling looking at those fruits on the show lol, especially that black one. I’d have to try them though just for the sake of having something new

Jaca is in the top 10 of my favorite fruits from Brazil. Jaboticaba is another. The skin of the Jaboticaba is a little tough, so many people don’t like it, but it has more antioxidants than blueberries.

I picked up some canistel from Truly Tropical, here in Delray Beach, FL, this past weekend and it was delish! Also, I’ve had some creamy, dreamy black sapote that tasted a little bit like chocolate.

By the way, does anyone know about the medicinal properties of canistel?

Personally I love persimmons although I realize they are not too unusual. We don’t grow them in Canada though, so buying a case of them and waiting for them to ripen is a real treat. Also enjoy dragon fruit when it is available, lychees, tamarind.

LOVED the bird!

You should check out Glaser Organic Farms in Miami- especially their Organic Farmers Market on Saturdays. I live on the west coast of FL Just north of Naples (Bonita Springs) if you are coming this way & need a place to stay in your motorhome.

Durian, guava, lychee, starfruit, loquat, longan, rambutan – for me durain is the most unusual of them all, but sooo delicious, now I’ve got to go have some…
