Noni is just plain gag worthy. What I really don't like though are those little yellow things that look like cherries.Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-17933143632757696882009-06-02T08:18:39.513-05:002009-06-02T08:18:39.513-05:00Jeanie - I have never seen a noni, but I saw Jonna...Jeanie - I have never seen a noni, but I saw Jonna's post and that was enough to convince me I'm not missing anything. Also, on Miguel's first trip to Canada it was during strawberry season, so he got to experience stopping at a fruit stand at the side of the road and then eating the basket of berries (strawberries and cherries) as we drove through the countryside. And one year I want to take him in August so he gets to sample our corn - there is nothing like it here in Mexico, not sure why.<br /><br />Bennie - in the US and Canada, the pitaya is called 'dragon fruit'.<br /><br />Beck - I don't care for cilantro either, but if someone puts it in my guacamole, I'll eat it. Let me know how Craig responds to the name-calling...lol.<br /><br />Anon (sorry, not sure of your name) - yes, it is worth a try, because Miguel likes the fruit but because I can't stand it, we never buy it.

Since then I have eaten an entire papaya on many occasions - worth a try!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-4551976026953753742009-05-31T13:20:12.836-05:002009-05-31T13:20:12.836-05:00Beck, I am totally with Craig on this. I freakin' ...Beck, I am totally with Craig on this. I freakin' HATE cilantro. I rarely admit it in mixed company and certainly not on a message board. <br /> <br />Year ago I asked my friend Ventura who is a bartender a speaks very good English how I could ask for no cilantro. He said "No cilantro" LOLjeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748849108794254036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-59097098541141157542009-05-31T10:41:53.686-05:002009-05-31T10:41:53.686-05:00I hate to admit it now, but I like the papayas on ...I hate to admit it now, but I like the papayas on Isla! I buy them and eat half at breakfast. The taste thing must be kind of like cilantro. Craig is one of those people who can't stand it in anything! He thinks it tastes like soap. I think I'll try calling Craig Pedo.

Let me tell you the fruit there in Mexico is wonderful.Benniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097317908338598428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147217458046676151.post-84643834519359395842009-05-30T12:07:14.549-05:002009-05-30T12:07:14.549-05:00LMAO Sue you really tell it like it is.

I don't care much for papaya either. <br /><br />I really try to by local and support the community but imported fruit is my indulgence carbon footprint be damned. As you know we are not quite in to strawberry season yet in Niagara but I've been eating Mexican berries for months. Yum.<br /><br />I don't know why but the imported produce has really change here in the last few years. Wonderful things from Chili and Mexico available at a fair price.<br /><br />Some clever Mexican farmers have discovered that we Niagara folks love peaches and cream corn and it's amazing. Please don't tell anyone because you know how folks are here. They only eat local corn at $.99 a dozen so they eat it by the bushel for a few weeks in August. Speaking of gas....LOLjeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748849108794254036noreply@blogger.com
