Dragon Fruit.

Any one tried this unusual fruit,seen in Waitrose yesterday.
A kind of Cactus I believe.

 

I've not seen them but have heard of them recently.
I think they must be similar to the fruits that form on epiphyllum cacti, I've tasted them and they have a kind of scented flavour.
I'll have to keep an eye open.
Did you buy any?

 

No Pete ......I don't do strange fruits,not that strange anyway.

 

Roders,

As I am partly Welsh, I feel I should take the plunge and try one of these for myself. Will report back once mission accomplished

 

Paula, which part is Welsh?

 

legs, feet, arms...?

 

I have seen these promoted in local shops and a supermarket complete with recipes but as yet haven't tried one, does look like cactus fruit.

 

David,

My left leg and right ear and not forgetting the right buttock :eek:

Mum was one of the Griffiths clan :D

 

Hi roders

Comes from a cactus usually farmed in thailand/ vietnam.
I love them, very refreshing with a slight perfumey flavour.

In fact I think I might try to grow some this year. Feel like a challenge.

 

stickman,

I havent managed to track one of these down yet. If you decide to grow them would you be so kind as to PM me how you got started?

Would love to take Dragonfruit to Wales for the family :D

 

Paula, there are enough dragony old fruits in Wales as it is.

 

David, :D

re: anthem, you hum it i'll sing it

 

You should have planted some of the seeds.

 

W M,

Must keep my eye out :D
