No wonder you people (you know who you are) keep going on about pineapples, obviously haven't got a bleedin clue. Cor blimey! I don't even eat them and I know more about them than you.What the fuck does that say about you?
\you never buy fruit, god i am so sorry for you,
sweet & sour Mangoes, longan, rambutans, apples, sweet bananas, cantaloupe, pineapples, strawberries, oranges, i even splurge sometimes and buy imported peaches & cherries
i buy fruit all the time

You were buying tasty Cambodian pineapples 30 years ago? How much did they cost?It's never as tasty as it was 30 years ago, especially Cambodian fruit in general, but those Vietnamese prices are just stupid.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Heat up the cherries add cognac and pour over icecream.

As I mentioned in another post somewhere I get given it so don't need to buy it. So far this week I have been given 5 oranges, 8 tiny mangoes(very sweet) 8 large ones (still ripening in paper), and 1 pineapple. Lol
You have been around SEA for quite a while Richard, you were even in India in the 80's?. The fruit I had in south India and Sri Lanka back then was food of the gods compared to the stuff I have eaten since. Those lemonade orange Coconuts (King Coconuts) the red Bananas, which when you opened them, were a deep yellow/orange inside, or the tiny jungle honey Bananas. Even the Rambutans and the Mangosteens tasted far sweeter back then.
I still like the Mangoes though and also trying some of the weird fruit they have here. Recently, can't remember the names, but I've had small yellow things the size of a Hazelnut, sort of white/reddish slightly larger ones, both with a fairly bitter taste. Got given another one yesterday which I will try later, Fig size, green which later turns orange. My fav are those brown looking things which are super sweet inside. they look a bit like Chico Zapote but taste far nicer IMO.
