Please continue to thing this. Leaves the good stuff for others!

The best Cranberries come from British Columbia
The best Cavendish bananas came from Kew Gardens, Richmond, UK
The best straight bananas come from Queensland.

My first wife who is French Mauritian cooked Choko leaves and vines as a vegatable with chilli and soy sauce and it was delicious and very good for you.

I always thought it as a weed that had to be pulled down weekly as it grew like wildfire.

I liken it to phat prakachet here which is the poor man's vegetable.

Closest human thing to a turnip as well.

Anyway closing in on another century thread Cyrille.........

Thanks again for your contribution.

It's not a fruit but I'm sure it won't derail the thread. Here in Myanmar tea leaf salad is one of the many popular dishes. I like the spicy and citrus version myself. Added bonus is all the caffeine; I like it as a afternoon snack in-between classes.

**Loy Toy** · 11-09-2016, 03:46 PM

Great addition mate.

As mentioned I enjoy eating Phat Prakachet which is a water weed really.

**baldrick** · 11-09-2016, 03:54 PM

lychees ? soon in season here in madagascar for a dollar a kilo

finger limes ?

I prefer the shoots/tips. Just the young, new shoots/tips. Actually, all that family have delicious shoots/tips: Pumpkin, choko, cucumber etc. Pumpkin tips are especially delicious in coconut cream.
It shouldn't be considered a poor man's green because by picking the tips, you are ending the possibility of a fruit on that particular branch/tendril. (as per millionaire's salad where you destroy the ability of the palm to produce coconuts)

There are some outstanding fruits in San Francisco

Sapote while of Latin american descent has reached its peak in N New South Wales that area up the Tweed which is fortunate to handy for OOL,Briz and Queensland but not part of it.

Best Oysters are Bluff oysters from the deep south of NZ.word..

Now, back to the fruit.

**Pregomeister** · 11-09-2016, 05:29 PM

I like this thread :-)
Back to the fruits of Myanmar. Watermelon is great here- we get both red and yellow. I think they have more flavor that what is available in Thailand. If you ever find yourself over the border and in the town of Hsipaw head to Mrs.Popcorns for good home cooking. All the ingredients are from her small holding which she uses to support herself since her husband died.

I agree with that.

Thailand is good for bannana. The little skinny finger like ones I like..

But I recall in Mexico they did some wonderful banana dishes. Mole, for instance.

Lady Finger bananas but I have no idea what they call them here.

A little off topic but the best crab meat I have ever enjoyed was the Nova Scotia or deep water soft shell alaskan crab.

Bloody expensive but out of this world.

I suppose not many of us members visit India but as a Mango fan the one's that I had just south of Madras still remain in my memory as the best mangoes on this planet.

I am also a fan of southern Eastern Indian Curry and pretty much the same as you have in the Indian Restaurants in Brick Lane in London.

My dads greenhouse, the best sharan fruits I've tasted, took him long enough, as he started growing them when I was about 25

Okay I'll start it off as I'm sure to be corrected but here is My view of it, mearly by observation, as I've never gone into it deeply.
New potatoes are small and young, the skin is so thin that you can eat them with the skin on.
Old potatoes are huge, like My balls, they are used for baked potatoes, mash, roast, boiled, but they have a tough old skin, and therefore require a potato peeler.

I will make a point to check the fresh list the next time I am out at the local seafood restaurant. I think the waters down there would be perfect for oyster beds. Still love my local penn cove, kumimoto, and Olympia oysters.

**Chittychangchang** · 12-09-2016, 04:59 AM

Have been picking a dozen English Blackberries every morning while walking the dog.

Blend them up with a banana and a pint of milk for a smoothie breakfast.
