The costermonger gallery

Or somewhere to post fruit and veg pics, but I like costermonger and think it's woefully underused.

Took these in Greece this year.

After some discussion, Ruth and I agreed we didn't know if these were shrivelledy apples, custard apples or quinces.







Waiting to go to the airport, we were eating figs fresh from the tree. Waiting at Newcastle station for the train to Edinburgh, we were eating pickled onion Monster Munch.









Sadly unripe






I think it's an unripe lemon rather than a very ripe lime

I think that's a quince. We had a quince tree - two actually - in the garden of the house where I grew up and they looked like that. My mum used to make delicious quince jelly. Besides, don't custard apples have a scaly skin, with mini-pyramids all over them?
