Below is the Starfruit I picked from my tree. Cute, but lacking in the flavor department...
these Rums and Tequilas with actual fruit in the bottle always catch my eye. I want to try it but the "FD&C Yellow #5" has been deterring me. They should put that ingredient in smaller letters IMO...
the Egg Fruit on the left was purchased by me at Bordeaux on Sunday...
there was also a Squash which was as big as a bowling pin. I left that for someone else...
turned out to be waaaay too much Egg Fruit. If I try it again, half an Egg Fruit would be more than enough in a Smoothie...
I spared you all the latest flower pics. Or rather I will just post those next time. Bye for now.
Cute fruit! I don't remember those tasting like much either though...
ReplyDeleteEgg fruit is a new one- it looks really dense. Is it sweet? That's definitely a unique smoothie :)
And why would the fruity booze even need food coloring?? I bet blending some fresh mango into tequila is better anyhow.

Tomorrow night i'm headed to tribeca for nish nush falafel pita and then terrior for wine.... It's still bizarre nice here for december and i'm still citibiking everywhere!
I figure you're in CA now with Jaggers and crew, but when you return I am going to be asking you to check out By Chloe in the Village. i want to hear all about it.
DeleteI remember trying a starfruit and thinking the same thing. Not much flavor. The one I tried was expensive, so lucky you to have a whole tree full of cute but bland fruit!That's hilarious about the food coloring! It's like they're proud of it! I've never heard of egg fruit, but it sounds interesting, I'd love to try one. I can't wait for the flower pics!
ReplyDeleteStar Fruit are cheap down here. Four for $1 at the Farmers Market, but now I think I wouldnt want them for free. guess I could cut them up for the Chickens if I got free ones,
DeleteI have never tried star fruit but they sure are cute! Bummer that the flavor wasn't that great though. What a fun smoothie combo, it sounds so yummy! So weird about the food coloring in the booze. Totally unnecessary!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the flower pics!!
I know nobody is looking forward to the flower pics, but I took the pics and I gotta do something with them. Sorry...
DeleteSuch interesting fruit! Was the smoothie good, even though you had lots of leftovers? Will you have a tropical Christmas?! Post away with the flowers, but I need some dog pictures! Add those! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have never excelled at making Smoothies. Just dont have the knack. It wasnt good, but I drank it all anyway. I have been trying to get critter pics, but they've all been blurry. Christmas will be tropical for sure!
DeleteWhat does an egg fruit taste like???
