I also recommend native australian finger limes, longan, custard fruit, dragon fruit, durian and lilly pilly fruit. I think the 1000 will be easy!

You got a bad Tuna! They are delicious, and they can be red, green and yellow. Over here in Mexico you buy them already peeled so i’ve never dealt with the spines. I had a red tuna martini once in Playa del Carmen… OMG.

Maggie, you make the mundane oddly compelling. I was at the grocery store today, passed a fruit* I’d never seen before, and thought, “Maggie would buy it.” Thanks for sharing your quest, and thanks for reminding me to eat more fruit.

*kumquat, in case you wondered

If you ever see orange passionfruit, try them, and then tell me where you found them! We ate them all the time in Samoa (where I was a Peace Corps volunteer) and they’re much better than the purple ones. We could also get fantastic giant peach-colored bananas that I’ve never seen anywhere else. Clearly you need to go to the South Pacific for a fruit-tasting expedition!

Maggie,

Nice melons. The cactus pears (aka ‘tunas cardonas’ in Mexico) are a delicacy, though.
