One of the best things about SE Asia is just how fresh the fruit is. On every corner you can buy tropical fruit which was on a tree that morning,

Freshly squeezed watermelon with a very large vodka is fantastic!
I wanted to travel SE Asia before this and now I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to travel SE Asia.

You've got to do it. You can buy fresh pineapple, mango, watermelon and loads of other fruit from streetside stalls for pennies that was only picked a few hours ago. Just book a flight to Bangkok and follow your taste buds around the region - they have some of the best food in the world.

Apparently freshly cut pineapples should be dipped in salt water for 5 seconds before eating to avoid acid burn on the tongue. It makes the fruit taste even sweeter too.

I love a ripe mango or persimmon - the flavours are beautiful. I do like pineapple but it has to be just right and that's difficult to gauge!

When I went to Sri Lanka we were given pineapple with black pepper sprinkled on it - it did taste very good
Ugggh! Is that what they do there these days? When I went there over 20 years ago it was I think salt. I dunno, I don't think I could bring myself to 'season' a pineapple, but then again I shouldn't really knock it til I've tried it, I guess.

Have to do some saving first but it will be happening in the next few years.

This was about 10 years ago and I haven't had it like that since I prefer my pineapple plain!

Gives me heartburn. Nothing that Gaviscon won't fix, though.

I think there's nothing better than a really good British summer strawberry.

I do love ice cold tinned pineapple with carnation milk though.
I agree on both the strawberries and the pineapple. I've gone back to tinned pineapple as I can't be arsed any more with preparing fresh.
