It was an odd mixture, the cabbage needed using up, but it really was very nice, I covered the taro root in curry powder & it was so nice, next time I'm there I'll pick it up again.

Is it quite strong tasting?

 

[Happy Holidays]

No, it's odd really & the texture is firm to soft, if you see it in a shop it's worth buying to try, it was 69p for those two I got, so not too bad really.

Yes, I've tried those and found them a bit disappointing (they aren't really a melon - they are from the solanum family, potatoes and tomatoes, etc.)

Other things I have found which look interesting but don't taste of much, are dragon fruit and star fruit. Look lovely in a fruit salad, but they are a bit boring on their own.

I think the pretty colour drew me lol, ive never tried the dargon or star fruit. Do they have any taste at all?

I bought some star anise and I know it can be used in curries but ive no idea what else it can be used for/in - think ill try look for recipes and try that next
