They go alright with weetbix in the morning tho. (only just)

This one was better than the photo suggests, I'd give it a 7/10. I love the clean flavour of them, great to cleanse the palate after a meal. Also in Viet the done thing was to chuck them in the blender with Vietnamese vodka. Lots of vodka

Here's the rambo.

Noone had any idea you could eat them, now they are called Kiwifruit.

I have a feeling, I could be wrong, those little round berries about the size of a marble that came 3 in a papery pod.
