Why Do NZ SB's Taste That Way?

Qui - I was born in Mississippi, but spent my formative years in the Everglades (where the webs between my toes fully developed).

Monstera deliciosa is one of the most heavenly fruits in the world, one that relatively few people will ever eat. It's a member of the arum family that produces a very fragile fruit that is shaped like a honey-combed banana which tastes like banana and orange and pineapple. The plant is a common houseplant (split-leaf philodendron), but I don't know what would be required to make it fruit indoors.

Foodie, shame on you: you are doing everything possible to keep from eating a guava! Guava tastes nothing like kiwi (Chinese Gooseberry -- Actinidia chinensis).

My Aussie mates are always comparing Cabs to Vegemite. I think that it would be wonderful to have a food tasting of obscure wine references. Just as long as I don't stumble across a wine that tastes like Twiglets.
