With the mention of pepino, anyone have opinions/tips about this fruit, or
feijoas
(a.k.a. "pineapple guava)? I used to buy them in New Zealand. Pepinos have
sort
of a canteloupe flavor, mild but somehow compelling. Same with feijoas
there,
rather mild but even more compelling. Pepinos need a long growing season,
and
feijoas a mildish winter, so they're rather more trouble for central Virginia
here.
