‘When in Rome, do as the Romans’ they say.
When in FNQ (Far North Queensland) , you EAT FRUIT.
The remnants of afternoon tea (above) show that I have been having a good time. I have had the usuals – Mango, Paw Paw, Banana, Amazing Passionfruit etc.
But I have also had a few rare tropical fruits, Lemonade Fruit, Rosella, Wattle seed, Black Sapote, Fresh Coconut and Mangosteen.
The last of which was a delicious discovery (below).
The Mangosteen is a fascinating little fruit which you peal like
a Mandarin. The fruit itself is white and looks like a bulb of garlic! It has a delicious sweet mango like taste, a new favourite of mine. (below)
The fresh food markets here are what us city folk would call Art Exhibitions.
