Hello everyone !
My husband and I live on Réunion Island. Today we'll go "goyaviers" picking. It is not a guava but a very small red fruit, looking like a cherry, very juicy and pulpy, with several small seeds inside. People love goyaviers round here !
Do you know the name of other tropical fruits ??
Let's start with A, A for ..... avocado ! Your turn now !

Hello Reunion Island !
I lived on Reunion Island from 98 to 03 and I loved that !
I worked in Saint-Paul and lived in Saint-Gilles-les-Bains and La Possession. I ate all the tropical fruits and I was fond of leetchis that are eaten on December.
Oh, I'm sorry : A like ananas

Coman i lè, Grabuge ! In addition to your English, are you still practising your Créole ?!! I'm just back from the Makes forest where we've picked about 5kg of goyaviers. It's time to make jam now !!Hello Lethidee and Idem, so you know Martinique too ! We've been living there from 2001 to end of Sept. 2004. We enjoyed it a lot but we prefer Réunion as it is my husband's native island and..... as there are letchees here !!
My favourite tropical fruits are letchees and mangoes, but I also love tiny bananas, hum !
So long !

Hello woodyrunn
I like also leechees and I remember that when I visited Vietnam I tasted f fruits which are like leechees but brown on surface and white pulp very sweety and people call them "longanes".
Do you know these fruits ?

pomegranite...... that's red (i think) with small seeds in it............

Hello jenstar
No, pomegranite is "grenade" in French and "longane" looks like a leechee but it's brown on surface and white inside. They grow in grapes on highs trees in Vietnam.
I remember I tasted too "the fruit of Dragoon" which looks like a round fruit with a rose surface and white inside. For me, the taste is without perfum.
See you

Safou, avocado, papaye are harvest in the rain season, which begins in October and

Good evening everybody !Lethidee, the longanes you tasted in Vietnam are called longanis here. People eat them when the leechee season is over... but they are not as sweet as the leechees !
Do some of you know about soursop, a green fruit with small soft thorns all over. It has a soft and very juicy white pulp with lots of black seeds inside. One can make very delicious drinks and icecreams with it. It's called corrossol round here...

Hello everybody
If I remember that the smell of corrosol when the fruit is very ripe is unpleasant and nauseating.
I'm fond also of bananas and I tasted little bananas in Haiti which are named by the inhabitants of the island "ti malice". I remember also to have drunk delicious juice of fruits which look like big grapefruits but sweater.
See you

kiwi ... mango ... honeydewmelon ...
Avocado is a strange word for a fruit ... doesn't this word mean lawyer?
P.S. People live on islands, not in them.
So ... "I live on Reunion Island," or "I live in (the department
of) Reunion," a part of France a little south of Corsica. Réponse: Tropical fruits de serena, postée le 10-05-2005 à 02:37:13 (S | E)
Yes, Avocado means lawyer. In French, it's called Avocat.
I bet criminals wish they could eat all the avocados !
It's ok for "on" now. Thank you !

Hello
I like avocadoes but concerning the advocates (lawyers), I think that you make a confusion about the examining magistrates and the lawyers.
I think that the great criminals would like to get rid of the magistrates who keep locked them for a long time but need lawyers for defencing them.
