Funny to see passionfruit listed here, because it just seems everyday,
ordinary fruit to me :-). I will get around to planting a vine one year,
save having to buy them as they do tend to have exotic prices! And funnily
enough, I'm drinking a can of Pasito (a passionfruit flavoured soft drink -
soda) while I read this.

Haven't tried cherimoya, and take or leave starfruit, love fresh lychees.
Not good to eat while using the computer though - keyboard gets sticky :-)

I thought Buddha's hand was only used for the peel?
