Let's introduce each other to some NEW/INTERESTING FOODS

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Hello.

I realise from the off I am basically creating a thread which is the ideal VEHICLE for some right FOODIES to make others feel SILLY but I'm going to go with it anyway.

I like to see myself as quite knowledgeable with the food world but I was BESIDE myself when my girlfriend brought home a POMELLO.

Again, I know i'm just opening myself UP to "you didn't know what a POMELO was!?", but for those who maybe didnt know, it's basically a less sour grapefruit with a lot less juice. More waxy but LOVELY. Brilliant for curring up and taking to work as theres no mess at all. Its a new FAVE in the mejona household.

So, please share your knowledge of weird and wonderful foods that you know of, that maybe I/we would like!

The Chinese supermarket in Southwick Square does a nice line in pigs' uteri. Actually says that on the packet. Not tried it though

Ouite partial to a romunesque , a cross between a cauliflower and broccli , see them a lot in the fruit & veg shops locally so asume they are available elsewhere .

Sav in batter is delicious.

Is it a pomello or pomelo?

Isn't that a grapefruit that's been 'talked up' when they see a mug coming ?

One L I believe.

I'm quite interested by this brocaulliflower mentioned above.

Not a food exactly ( although it becomes it ) - I've got quite excited ( sad I know ) about the new tomato / potato plant. Tomatoes grow on the bit above ground and potatoes on the bit below ground - two decent food groups in one !

I've had to google this to check you're not having me on.

Never heard of that before. I want one.

Durian fruit. Delicious!

I rather like tomatillos, they're really easy to grow as well

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I like custard apples. They have a real vanilla taste when you bite into them.

I can see this developing into a food based 'call my bluff'
