Fa Niem or
a weird sort of apple/pear thing |
|
This popular and common fruit is not known in
the west as far as I am aware. At first glance
you will think it is an apple gone wrong, but
closer inspection reveals a skin similar to that
of many citrus fruits.
Most Cantonese simply eat them as is, or peel
away the skin with a sharp knife. I would take
pains to wash them first, and always remove the
skin. This is because they are highly likely to
have been sprayed with all manner of noxious chemicals.
Peeling reveals a white inside that looks like
the flesh of a pear, but smells more like a peach.
Cutting reveals small seeds like a courgette,
which are normally eaten. It tastes just like
a mass produced Congress Pear.
If you enjoy fruit then give these a try as they
are quite delicious in their own way, and also
very cheap for all the common versions - there
are many different types of course - just like
our British apple varieties.
