The fr...Avocado grows here but not a common sight. The fruit is not popular unlike it's popularity in the west. Durians are preferred. hahah.. <br /><br />I wish avocadoes are cheaper here. Interesting that you like eating it with salt. I've not tried that. I eat it with brown sugar.<br /><br />Watermelon is not the only fruit that gives me a sore-throat when eaten in excess. I remember eating almost a whole bunch of rambutans and lost my voice the next day. Mangoes and longans are heaty too. Try eating more than your usual quota and you'd be clearing your throat as if something is stuck in there. Durians have no effect on me though.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-40424364473532597372009-07-25T14:03:25.642+08:002009-07-25T14:03:25.642+08:00Is avocado tropical?

Supermarket might cost A$2 each.<br /><br />I can eat it just by sprinkle a bit of salt and scoop it like I scoop any other fruits. Some people can't do that.<br /><br />Now you are making me think what's my favourite fruit(s), if there is any at all :o)<br /><br />PS: You get sore throat by eating too much watermelon??Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086712734274525037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-37659409616252599342009-07-25T11:49:27.910+08:002009-07-25T11:49:27.910+08:00Mei Teng, I agree that avocado by itself is rather...Mei Teng, I agree that avocado by itself is rather bland in taste. That's why I eat it with brown sugar. Try it. You might like it that way too. An avocado fruit drink is interesting. Haven't tried it yet though. <br /><br />Chiaoju, an acai berry? Intereting. According to Wikipedia, eight species are native to Central and South America, from Belize southward to Brazil and Peru, growing mainly in swamps and floodplains.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-77378921423757576752009-07-25T11:43:54.804+08:002009-07-25T11:43:54.804+08:00Tekkaus, wow, there are lots of mango trees around...Tekkaus, wow, there are lots of mango trees around your house? Awesome. Are they of different varieties? <br /><br />SK, the best papayas are the ones that ripen from the tree instead of the ones we buy from shops. Those are normally green and are ripened artificially. The hazards of technology advancement. <br /><br />I don't take too much watermelon because it is a heaty fruit. I get a sore throat if I eat too much at one go or eat it continuously for a few days.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-82909960070931722682009-07-25T11:35:36.820+08:002009-07-25T11:35:36.820+08:00PandaB, you sure had the best of both worlds.

Fortunately, they drop down when they are ripe.<br /><br />Hi uLi, welcome. I normally eat it with brown sugar. Plain and yummy.

There's also a drink (of Indonesian origin I think) made from a mix of avocado and milo.
