I love mandarins, they’re so easy to eat! No knives required and no cutting, peeling or slicing required.
What’s your favourite fruit?

Do we have to have a favourite? I love them all! dark red/blue/black berries, all the other berries, rhubarb, alfonso mangoes, figs, cherries, apples, pears, apricots, tomatoes, peaches, nectarines, persimmons, grapes from the vine, pineapples, all the citrus fruits,... I'm forgetting some.

Barbarian! Philistine! Brute! In Battambang, Cambodia, we stayed at a hotel which had a sign by the staircase: No Durians. |

I can’t understand all the fuss about durian .. there far worse ‘aromas’ in the countries where it grows.

When I lived in Durban our garden had mangoes, bananas, passion fruit, papayas and lychees. My father, born in England, liked none of them. He longed for English apples and pears.
