Lychee, Passionfruit and Mangos

The fruit in OZ is snack-tacular. Here is looking up into a mango tree, the trees are everywhere and the best mangos I've ever eaten. C and F are big fans too, begging them as snacks.

It took a young gal working at a fruit stand offering me a lychee (one of these little red fruits) to get them figured out. I have seen them in the grocery stores but had no idea what they were or what to do with them- so I left them alone. Finally, fruit gal showed me how to peel it and eat it, and I fell in love.

They are about the size of eyeballs, perhaps a bit bigger, and super slimy- but in any case the kids just can't get around that fact and refuse to eat them.

Don't forget the pit- not edible. They taste kind of like grapes, only a bit sweeter. Delicious little lollies.

Passionfruit sample from the Eumundi Market. You can see here Steve O is a big fan- super sweet fruit, look like slimy fish eyes, still-I can't get enough.

Amsterdam 5 star lunch

A typical lunch. We found out early that we could not afford to feed the kids at fancy European sidewalk cafes, so we started packing Noelle lunches. Here is a typical big city lunch in an alley in Amsterdam.

Lucky Fish- Koolskamp, Belgium

When you watch the Tour de France on TV you always see the lucky kids that get the water bottles that the riders throw off to the side of the road. Sometimes your are only lucky enough to get remains of a rider's lunch. Lucky Fish with apple strudel or something wrapping.
