When ever we go to the city (Edmonton – 1 hour away) I like to stop at the Chinese Food Market they always have the weirdest fruits. I wish they would have samples some times, or at least directions on how to prepare some (Durian fruit)..
I love to try new things, thanks for the list.

They do look tasty. My mother has a fig tree in her garden in Italy. It produces wonderful fruit. Nice work.
