March 24th, Day 313: Prunus Vachuschtii

Fruit Info: Today’s fruit is a rather interesting one. I’d give you it’s common name but it’s not an English name. So the best you can get is the romanized version of “alucha”.

March 27th, Day 316: Wax Gourd

Fruit Info: While botanically a fruit, the lovely Ash Gourd is culinarily used as a vegetable. I’m not entirely sure why but I assume it comes down to flavoring.
That being said some of the ways the winter gourd is prepared to eat are interesting. In China it is cooked along with pork or pork/beef bones to make winter gourd soup. It also candied for special occasion snacks. In Vietnam it is also used to create soup. In the Philippines people have used it to make pastry filling. And lastly in India the tallow gourd is prepared in a wide variety of ways. As such I don’t feel like listing them all.

April 1st, Day 321: Fruit Salad

Fruit Info: Naturally growing in big tall boi trees , the fruit salad is considered a delicacy all across the world. It is usable for many occasions and purposes such as a snack at a party, a healthy side in a meal, maybe a meal replacement idk I’m not a dietician. Now some people may complain “a fruit salad isn’t a fruit it’s a bunch of fruit together” and they would be wrong to do so. That said, I have photographic evidence that fruit salads grow in order to connive them.

They can be eaten raw or cooked, but no matter which way you eat them be prepared for an acidic feel. The fruit can be used to create a purple to dull blue dye (which considering the fruit is red is kind of weird).
