Passion Fruit

I'm in a lazy mood, so I'll blog-hop later, OK? Just wanna share some more pics of our trip to Indo. When R2 first came to Indo in 2006 to marry me, we introduced him to jackfruit ("nangka" in Indonesian) and he fell deeply in love with it. He even said, "This is my candy!!!"

So my Mom remembered to buy him some when we were there.
Look how happy he was to be able to eat jackfruit again!!! ;-D


I pointed some durians at R2 in one supermarket, but he wasn't interested in trying it. I personally don't really like durians he he he...so when I spotted passion fruit, I thought I'd introduce it to him, too!!!



When I split it open like this below pic, R2 was confused to see all those "seeds" inside HA HA HA HA HA...I could tell he was SO skeptical about this fruit. I told him how to eat it and then told him to try.


Here he was, trying it out...he said it was OK, though jackfruit was still FAR better than passion fruit hi hi hi hi...

  3. I'd love to taste Jackfruit. :-)

    I did the same with my hubby, Sandy, when he came out to Africa. We went to the market and came home with Papaya, passionfruit, prickly pears and kumquats.

    The kumquats are tiny oranges, they're nice but quite bitter. Poor Sandy, he stuck the whole thing in his mouth... bit... and ran to spit it out. I was laughing so hard, evil me! :-D

  5. Jackfruit is a new one on me too.. can you describe the taste? I will have to look it up on google!

    I am not a lover of Passionfruit myself. I am sure I have seen them here though on sale in the Valintatalo. Ha..a lot more expensive though I bet than in Indonesia...LOL!! Well, EVERYTHING is expensive in Finland isn't it!

    Love Michelle x

  6. Jeanne: I love nangka better than passion fruit, actually he he...

    Michelle: Jackfruit is sweet if it's ripe he he...but it has a tad sour taste, too. It's just LOVELY!!! ;-D

    Sometimes I'm in the mood to eat passion fruit as long as they're ripe. If they're not ripe, then they suck he he...And yeah, fruit in Indo is MUCH MUCH cheaper than in Finland hi hi...
