Kaffir limes cut.

I've got that to come, I've written off doing anything with fruit after reading the plant ticket. It'll prolly be just a talking place in the fruit bowl. Anyone else have a fruit bowl??

My wife uses the juice (what there is of it) for her hair. I have no idea why. Some old wives' tale no doubt.

I think the peel can be dried - in fact I believe I have some but can't find it - then used to infuse the lime flavour in dishes (I don't think you eat it).

The majority of pomelos are white(ish) and may have a tinge of pink. This one is unusual as it's very red.

Hog plum fruit. Very thin skin, virtually all stone. Tastes similar to a sour greengage.

Do you mean sour or bitter? Why do the two cut ones look so different from each other? Maybe you could pickle it with chillies.

Bitter. Or they could be either - I'd been drinking bitter lemon.

When my wife brought them yesterday evening I thought they were olives (they were in a plastic bag). One is cut lengthwise and the stone is still there. The other is cut crosswise through the stone (unintentionally).

There is something really good which requires unripe mangos... trouble is I've forgotten what it is! Whatever it was I didn't make as I couldn't get unripe mango. This is now going to drive me made until I remember.
