Feijoas!

[Gubb]

So, I've just this minute got home after getting another KBer to do all the hard work for me fitting a Tail Tidy, so I figured what better time to ask for more stuff that I want.

Anyone in the greater Wellington area have a Feijoa tree that is producing so much, you couldn't possibly eat them all, and they are just lying on the ground rotting, and going to waste? I want to hear from you!

These things are like crack! I'm hooked and every year I start jonesing for my fix.

My mum bought down a large shopping bag full of them last weekend when she visited, and they lasted a week before I scoffed the lot. Anyone help me out? I'll take as many as I can stuff into my backpack.

Mom and Maha gave me a stash last year, but alas it's a bit far to tootle off to (Im not GIJoe!).

Had a Feijoa Beer once. I think it was brewed by Mata. Bloody awful. I'll stick to the fruit.

Fuckin understatement !

Have to get em before the calf gets in the drive though Nick !! Must be two or three shopping bags full on the ground about now ! They be all good ones too i'd say, only been falling a week or so now since the cow was in there last !

If you want to put feijoas to good use I recommend this good smoothie.

Take about three feijoas and feel the skin off. Put into blender with crushed ice/ or ice cubes. Last add a can of green V then blend away. Enjoy!

YUmmmmmmm!! I LOVE feijoas!! I got so desperate a few weeks ago that I bought some in the supermarket, cost me about $5 for 5!!! They were yum though, but to think we used to grow more than we could eat when I was a kid. Feijoa wine is scrummy, as is feijoa chutney..... but not too much or they'll give you the squirts.

mmmmmmm - my fav fruit. any surplus in the rapa, i will gladly help dispose of

[The Baron]

Ahhh Feijoa ice cream now we are talking....................

[Genie]

I overdosed once on feijoas'....now i can't stand them...make me wanna puke just looking at them but my children love them so I now need to buy our own tree.

[MIXONE]

I gat a tree full that will be ready in a couple of weeks if you are still hanging out by then.

Have sixty odd trees fruit everywhere cannot even give the buggars away up here..Like Pixie we overdosed on them back 10 years ago after moving to a warmer clime, our faces and hands swelled up after eating toooooo many but now in moderation we just enjoy a few a day..

If you get a truck load make jars of Feijoa curd, like lemon curd. Feijoa meringue pie is like angels copulating on the tongue. Aaaaah, I'm off to get some tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration.
