I don't think anyone ate them then. I have to admit - they look pretty good!<br />You're a brave one to try them! :)<br />Congrats on your win.<br />Be a sweetie,<br />Shelia ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358804024391678256.post-18864961791100087552011-05-02T07:54:13.767-04:002011-05-02T07:54:13.767-04:00Yes!

I am wondering if they were good, and if you could taste it in there or was it mixed with other ingredients to where it was just a good mix? They looked interesting!<br />I had a PP tree growing outside that I started with one pad...they root with ease, if you really want to try it. Of course, you could do it just for the plant (not necessarily to eat). <br />The PP fruits are sweet and are more palatable I believe! Hope to see at least one more recipe with the fruit...I sure am glad you like to cook!!! The PP fruits are called "tunas". Isn't that funny???
