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.

Yes, they are called Mangosteen and Jackfruit.

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!

Alphonso Mango is in season at the moment, its considered the best variety of mango.

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

Its an anti inflammatory. Not only does pineapple taste good, its good for you.

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.
