One of the reasons I enjoy travelling so much, is the excitement of trying new foods! And I was not disappointed on this recent visit to China. I discovered a brand new fruit I have never tried before - YANG MEI.
I spotted the lady selling this interesting fruit, and decided I must try this immediately :-) So my friend and host Mary bought me a bag to sample!
Mmmmmmmm - they taste as delicious as they look!!! Sort of like a cross between a raspberry and strawberry!!!
I have not seen this anywhere else in Asia that I have been, so was very curious ....
This is how it looks after a bite :-)
Have any of you tried this before?? I hope you get the opportunity one day!!! I even brought back home with me a bag of dried yang mei which I'm saving for a rainy day .... or a day very soon i think!!!!
Wishing you all a very lovely week!!

Hi, Karen-
it looks really delicious! I´d like to try this fruit !
I can´t eat many things, cause I have lots of allergies, so berries are one of my favourites, cause I can eat them...
Enjoy your memories :-)
Hugs from Ines!
I have never seen that before but I did think you were very brave for trying it!!
Have a great day and I'm so glad you had a nice birthday!

Hi Karen! So..that is Yang Mei?I've never seen or tried this fruit before in my whole life!I think the seed looks like plum's seed. I am sure it's nice and juicy!

Hi Karen,Thanks for the sweet birthday wishes=)
'Happy belated birthday to you!'
I'd never heard of this before...just from the first picture, I though it's lychee, but it wasn't...If it tasted like berries, I think I will like it too!
I've never heard of this fruit, but if it tastes as good as you say, I would love to try it!!!

Wow, I'm glad they were a treat for the mouth because they're certainly a treat for the eyes. Those are too cool, I really want to try one now- sounds like some type of Willy Wonka fruit!
I have never heard or seen this before. It kind of looks like a cross between a strawberry and a grape.
