    That’s beautiful. Great fruit is always exciting! When the quality is high enough that one meal can keep you flying for the whole day… wow. Does the green and purple peach have a name?

      Yeah, I never thought fruit could taste this good.

      I have trouble remembering the names of the specific hybrids, but I believe that variety is called “Dapple Dandy” or “Dinosaur Eggs.” When I was was trying to find the name, I came across this photo of some of the varieties of hybrids. It’s wild how different they can be.

        “Dapple Dandy” or “Dinosaur Eggs.”

        I’ll look it up!

        Have you ever tried durian?

          No, I don’t think I’ve tried durian. I don’t recognize the name, but the fruit itself looks familiar, so I’ve definitely seen them around. I’ll pick one up the next time I see it!

            Durian in California? I highly doubt that that would be fresh. If it’s your first time, I recommend finding one that fell from the tree fully ripe that same day.

              I’m sure I won’t find a fresh one, but I remember seeing something that looked like that at one of the local Asian supermarkets I spend way too much money at.

                Frozen? Probably a ‘Mongthong’ harvested unripe in Thailand. I highly recommend going to Malaysia or Borneo and trying a fresh durian instead. You only get one first durian, and you owe it to yourself to try a good one.
