WTF a good Asian pear is GDLK! So juicy and is literally like crisp honey. I've also gone to a korean household that made kimchi with a twist, and added in Asian pears to it. That wasn't half bad.

I never saw them in south Africa and one of my buddies went actively looking for them.

Lychees are great, but I had to knock them down a tier because they are obnoxious to peel and deal with. But maybe I'm a lychee noob.

I also have not had enough passion fruit to put them on the list.

There is this Chinese supermarket place by Umhlanga in Durban that may have it since they have pretty much everything and supposedly make really nice lunch. I'll ask my dad about it when he gets home.

Yup it's just what we needed. Let's bring Doran back and cement abzan as the strongest archetype forever.

I'm jealous I can no longer:
1) intake too much dairy (specifically milkshakes, chocolate milk, cereal, yogurts)
2) And eat peaches anymore. Somehow, whenever I eat raw peaches (unsliced, sliced, canned), my throat becomes ridiculously inflamed.

I also think Asian pears stand on a tier of its own from other pears, and I don't see persimmons anywhere (regular or dried).

asian genes op? I love my dairy so much, I probably eat way too much of it. Cheeses, milk, yogurts, stuffs.

Finally one thing white people are better at, we can eat delicious food that either destroys or strengthens our bones. gg wp.

Its a citrus fruit, its like a cross between a tangerine and a pineapple with the fruit flesh, and the skin tastes super sweet, and you just eat the whole thing, they have soft seeds, but you can rather easily get them out.
They have a weird effect where if you eat too many your lips and tongue begin to tingle though. but they are super delicious. they are still in season, but i think they are only grown in florida and cali in the US. usually you find em cheap in november/december.

oh dude pineapples are weird. They taste good, but my tongue really stings after eating too many. But they are super addictive, once I have a slice I can't stop, it's like pringles.

Soak the pineapple in water for 30 minutes after you cut the skin off, it removes a lot of the excess acid that burns your mouth.

Pineapples have an enzyme that eats away at the inside of your mouth while you eat it.
