111 Fruits to Eat Before You Die

111 Fruits to Eat Before You Die

In-boxes everywhere have been inundated with lists – dozens of lists that want to know what you have cooked, eaten or drunk and other non-culinary lists that are curious about your travels, the films you’ve seen, the men you’ve dated or how many times you’ve cheated on your partners and where. Not to be outdone, we drew up one of our own but changed the format a little – we don’t really want to know anything at all, we merely want to make a suggestion …. or rather, 111 suggestions. Many of these fruits are more common than you

may think but for many you would need to travel some considerable distance. Enjoy. We”ll supply brief descriptions of any of the fruit as well as their destinations on request and could even refer you to our travel agent should you decide to embark upon a voyage of culinary discovery.

    Just curious. I grew up in Nigeria and it is the only place I have seen or had agbalumo. Have you tried all the fruits listed above? Can you sort them alphabetically but most importantly list where you can get them from. Gives me something more to look for on my travels.

    Hi,

    That was, in fact, where I had it. Apparently it’s only available there for 2 to 3 months of the year in the Southern parts of Nigeria. The scientific name for this fruit is Chrysophyllus Albidum. I was thinking of writing more about these fruits, but it would have meant an article far too long for the ‘fun’ that was the intention.

    I will, most certainly make you an alpahabetical list. We re-open formally next Wednesday, so look out for it then.
