I bought some grapples the other day, they were pretty good! Apparently
they're regular apples that have been injected with grape juice. Got some
plumbquats too -- didn't like 'em. (Probably because I don't care much for
plumbs or apricots, but thought I'd give 'em a go anyway.)

Gosh, I'm sorry to hear you don't like plumcots. I have a tree in the back
yard that is just loaded this year, and am in hog heaven!! California is
such a wonderful state for buying (and growing!) fruit. I think it's great
that you are open to trying new fruits. Have you tried any unusual
vegetables yet?


I'm just wondering what else is out there in terms of weird "fruits" to
keep an eye out for. Also, are there any good sources in Southern
California for imported fruits like Star Fruits, Rambutans, etc? I've seen
the star fruits, but the quality is really poor as opposed to what you'd
find in the Far East.
