Kedondong!!! One of my favourites especially if pickled!!!

gnightgirl: Didn't dare taste one. I left it in the bucket and opted for the more conservative picked mango.

Jimbo: Are you sure? WHat the bloody hell is kedondong?

The Aunt said...

Look like peeled kiwis to me.

Send some over.

aunty marianne: ooooh--kay. Nationwide express..or is fedex safer? psss. I still haven't found out what it is myself. But definitely not peeled kiwis. ( but I kinda agree with you )

IT IS KEDONDONG!!! But, I don't know what it's called in English. My wife knows, I'll ask her. It taste really sour but is heavenly if pickled or dipped in a bit of salt and eaten raw. Yummy!

To me it looked like pealed limes..

anna: does it? It makes a great background for my laptop. Green is soothing I think although this particular green takes some getting used to.
