I first bought two sold by the piece, each one the size of a big apple, and they had that nice, refreshing taste that you described, really delicious, including the skin. Later I got some sold in packs of 6-7, smaller, cheaper..and not fully treated! I felt it right away, as I had not peeled them, but even when I did they were sweet but still a bit astringent. So, now I know, it's like with peaches -- better fewer at a time but good ones, ha!Ninanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199617894116272192.post-10578680941487148782021-11-25T15:46:20.835+08:002021-11-25T15:46:20.835+08:00Yes, you should definitely try it if you have a ch...Yes, you should definitely try it if you have a chance! Super delicious fruit! As for the background for our banner, it's a photo of the pattern on one of my many Chinese porcelain dishes. I collect them cuz they're beautiful. So glad you like HK View of the Day photos.😋Ellen L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05300378881574766553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199617894116272192.post-45374861380554813902021-11-22T22:57:31.951+08:002021-11-22T22:57:31.951+08:00Thank you for all the research, just when I was wo...Thank you for all the research, just when I was wondering whether to buy some as they're on sale where I currently live. Probably from Israel, now you've made me curious!<br /> I meant to ask you, where does the pretty turquoise bit for the banner come from? (it looks like enamel)<br />I enjoy your photography on your other site, how you capture the mood of a moment and convey it with a few words.. Take Care. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
