@majorrage All looks great mate and may I say on behalf of all the UK Ferners, we can't wait for the invite.
Interested in how you did the crab linguine. I do a Gordon Ramsay quick one with garlic, chilli, white wine and lime juice. Very easy and bloody tasty. Also interested in the £22 St Estephe. Any more details?
Basically used this one.

I must admit I've bought fruit from various sources. Theirs is not the cheapest. But hands down their feijoas taste the best. Will have to buy some more

I would never pay for passionfruit or feijoas. You usually know someone who gives them away for free.
We have a feijoa tree in the backyard and they are farkin' huge, but bloody tasty.
Lucky bastard

Is there a reason why we don't get feijoas here in Oz? Do they not grow well here? Or are Aussie palates just too heathen to appreciate them?
Maybe not called feijoa? They call them pineapple guava over here.

The distribution of feijoa around the world is fucking weird.
Somewhere in the 'Stans - or some quick research suggests Azerbaijan or Georgia - I was very surprised to suddenly see feijoa juice on the shelves in every store. Cross another land-border, or the Caspian Sea - and it completely disappeared. -

That's what they were called in the US too. The price the supermarket was charging was ridiculous, and that was 20 years ago.

Bay Tropics fruit. Tastes as good as it looks
I think I'll give it a miss then as it looks like stuff out of a drained pond.

You are short a tamarillo.
They start selling in May

I know that we asked around when in Oz and apparently they are reasonably common in backyards in Victoria and SA. Just have never caught on as a commercial fruit.
I think that it is only recent horticulture and breeding that has made them suitable for storage/transport as well. Hence the reason you see more in supermarkets now.
We found some in London, at Borough Market. Cost £2 for one.
Probably not the case at the moment but you can basically get anything fruit and veg that you want in London (wholesale). I was totally blown away by the ordering lists I saw from some dealers. You want it and are willing to pay and they will get it.
