I went to the market on my way home today, wanted to get some fruit. Saw the usual- peaches, watermelon, gigantic grapes (called "ping pong grapes")...a few different varieties of mangos. After looking around for a while and buying some veggies, I decide to get a mango and a dragonfruit. I haven't actually had dragonfruit yet, but I love tropical fruit, so I'm sure I'll like it.
As I was walking out, I spotted a fruit that looked vaguely familiar- from pictures I'd seen. And then another fruit that looked vaguely familiar from pictures...and then one that I had no idea what it was...thought it was a nut of some sort or something.
I started my walk home (the market is literally around the corner from my gate) and was wracking my brain to figure out what the mystery fruits were. Sometimes I forget fruit names because I don't see or hear them in English. But as I approached the gate, I remembered the two "familiar" fruits- guava and pomegranate. And tonight I happened to come across a website (thanks Trish) that revealed the identity of the third, unknown, fruit- mangosteen. It seems to be a very healthy (as in really healthy) and delicious fruit.
So tomorrow, I'll be going back to stock up on my tropical fruit before it all goes out of season. Man, I love summer!
