fruit: nature's lollies

one of the things i do like, smarty pants, is fruit. in fact one of the advantages of living in oz is being surrounded by an endless variety of cheap fruit (except out of season berries—ouch!). these are ones that feature regularly on the menu (apologies to all those mango admirers).

all berries: rasp, black, blue & straw.
all citrus: grapefruit, limes, lemons, oranges, mandarins.
passionfruit.
bananas.
apples: especially golden delicious.
cherries: red and black.
kiwi.
avocado.
grapes.
rambutan.
nectarine.
peach.
pears.
olives.
purple ("purple is a fruit").

Ladies: Rambutan is quite like a lychee. That's the nearest thing in the UK.

Snob: Agree with your list. BUT: Granny Smiths are better. Golden Delicious are a bit 'fluffy'. And although you won't list it, mangos should be there. Along with papaya and guava.

"purple is a fruit" needs some love.
