Another fruit….

Here’s the Natal plum but it’s flower is like jasmine.

So time to hopefully test negative for COVID and head to Maine via NYC. I realized we have 2 plums in the yard, neither of which really tastes like a plum. The first is the Baja wild plum which has an interesting sweet sour hazelnut flavor. The second is called the Natal plum which I believe is from South Africa.

I questioned the wisdom of eating it because it is in the Oleander family and everything is poisonous but the fruit. It was pretty tasty… sour and sweet. It is compared to a cranberry, but I’d say a cranberry with lots of sugar.

Sad to leave my mangoes. We ate about 5 with another 10 left.
Had to share the beach with a cow today. And while this doesn’t fit with my topic… too funny not to share.
Had yet another tasty cocktail on a beautiful beach. Yup, it’s a Mai tai.
In all honesty not using filters, this is what it looks like.
So I was eating this giant tostada with tuna , scallops , shrimp and octopus, and thinking wouldn’t this be even more delicious with a few chunks of unique tropical fruits? Hmmm…..

One thought on “Another fruit….”

  1. Looks like you had a delicious last few days! The cows in Fiji frolic on the beach too! Hope New York can match your Mexican gourmet creations!
