That's very exciting for Melbourne folks. Perhaps all the cities will get one.

Thanks chookie .. Never heard of finger limes before .. They look interesting.. So many things grow in oz that would never grow here 😥😥

[courton]

Hally, why are fruits  and veg so expensive in Perth. You have beautiful climate so why the High prices?

This is what Finger Limes look like.  They can be green or pink small balls that are squeezed from the pod.

Interesting Chookie.  Do you think they will freeze OK for you?

[dede]

Well I have never seen anything like that before. It's amazing what mother nature creates (or this a man made crossed with something else kind of fruit?)

[Cornish Cream]

They are very interesting Chookie especially that you squeeze little balls from the pod.

Interesting Chookie.  Do you think they will freeze OK for you?

Only one way to find out.  These formed part of the Asian style dressing.  Think they would be nice on small lemon tarts.

We did an excursion one year to a one of the pineapple farms at Yeppoon and he was branching out into Australian Native fruit and finger limes were one - I have never sighted any for purchase since that time.  The flesh reminds me of roe!!!!

[Frozzie]

After you mentioned them i googled them and saw there are 5 or 6 different types of colours.. Says hey are farmed but native to australia.,??. Are thry really native as i have never heard of them before and are they specific to a certain region of australia??  Would be i teresti g to try but i doubt we can get them anywhere over here..

[Halex]

Chookie, i will have to see if they are sold over here in the west.

Courton, i dont know why things cost more over here, we pay the price for having the mining boom,  my dh is not in the mining boom and none of our friends are. In Melbourne I saw Margaret River produce cheaper than here and for us its a local produce.

The class sounded great Chookie.  I wonder if one day we will get a centre here in Adelaide?   Must have a look at Andrews site.  I know he specializes in Australian Native Foods.

[achookwoman]

I couldn't find the recipes on Andrew's site,  so will post all the TMX ones.  I put them on my Blog first and then swap them over. I have already posted the Asian lime and sesame dressing on my Blog.  It is lovely with any fish.  I will do the Barley Risotto next.
