Very interesting! thanks for the link. You have put a lot of effort to link all those pages separately!

So that's what those fruits were - loquats! I kept seeing them in the markets - and I loved the Custard apples, ours are much bigger and kind of sloppier - you have to spoon the insides out. In fact they are the ones called 'scaly custard apple' in the list above - but I liked the small smooth firmer ones I got in India.

Good thread, Grikoo! I always wanted to know the names of everything I see in the markets. Now I have a reference book. |

All I wish is for the Internet to enable the taste and the aroma right here right now!
I appreciate all the effort that's gone into compiling this basket! |

Thanks Chikoo, sorry, Grikoo.
I'm still not entirely sure what the little yellow fruits were that were ubiquitous in markets, and at roadside stalls selling nothing else, when I was in northern India in February, but suspect they may have been loquats. Can't say I liked them - the taste was best described as cheese flavoured strawberries - slightly savoury. I much preferred the giant papayas, and chikoo (which was particularly nice stewed with cinnamon & ginger and served with yogurt, and which would make a fantastic crumble). This week, I am mostly eating mangoes .... (Thank goodness for Atif superstore on my way home from work, selling boxes of Pakistani honey mangoes). |

Thanks grikoo, that is a very useful resource and will be even more so when there are more photo links. (Not that I'm complaining!)
It is always good to see people posting about something they are obviously knowledgeable about, am I right in thinking that plants are your "thing"? ![]() If so, brace yourself for the gardening questions! |

You can find chikoo in Delhi in October; they are very sticky and will gum up your knife! You'll also see hachiya persimmons there on occasion!

Great list, Grikoo! I can't stand chikoo but Mrs C's idea sounds rather nice - might try this out. Mangos and lychees are all the go up here (Landour)at the moment, and I'm feasting out on them. Lychees not available in Jaisalmer. Jackfruit is but I've never known how to use it and what it is like?
