It is amazing how versatile this fruit is!

My sweetheart likes hers mashed with milk and sugar. Try it sometimes you will be amazed at what a healthy dessert alternative this can be.

Ok! I'll try it. I can say that Red is not much into sweets but I think I can get her to try it once. I'll let you know how it works out.

Just add a little sugar if she is not much into it the Avocado is naturally sweet with the milk. Add a touch of salt too. Forgot that.

By the way, I love your sig line. Awesome.

Avocados are so expensive over here.

Something I had once, a few months back, was a custard apple. Really good! Sweet and creamy. You don't see many of them in markets these days apparently and my ex's mum was complaining that all the local tropical fruit which was so plentiful a few years ago is now hardly seen. You can always see grapes, apples, oranges, Cavendish bananas, kiwifruit, etc - all imported fruit.

I love mangosteen rambutan of course mango (a lot are imported from Thailand and even further away) and papaya. Here's a custard apple and longan Love red dragon fruit (originally from South America I believe)

Thank you Kiwi for this amazing study. I have not tried any of these fruits. Looks like I am going to have to do some travelling.

How bizarre that you are getting so much imported fruit over there. What is up with that? Where is the local tropical fruit supply? Is it being exported? *concerned*
