mbjesq –
two beautiful sitaaphal as my airplane snack.
Nice! Should remember that on my next trip back in Nov/Dec. :-))
hope you had a good visit.
I just flew to San Francisco from Bombay, arriving yesterday, and took two beautiful sitaaphal as my airplane snack. They are the excellent consolation prize in India when mango season comes to its sad end.
Mona:

Interesting fruit, may have to find it. 😀

may not compare to the one in Aus, but I had a blast.
The sitaaphal are certainly called custard apples in mumbai too! Aren’t they the bestest! Yumm! I miss them here.
Nearly finished importing all my entries from LJ, and a few are yet to be categorized – but peruse the FOOD tag!

Hi – I love your blog! I used to work in fruit and veg market in Australia when I was younger (ha ha a long time ago now!) and I’m sure we had these in the market occassionally – they were called Custard Apples. Very yummy!
