The "Kiwi Fruit" as it is commonly known has been 'stolen' by the New Zealanders. I hope you all realize. They, like many of us really like them and discovered that they grow very well in the 'Land of the Long White Cloud". Hence the name Kiwi fruit and I am amazed at the number of people who believe this is there place of origin.

Zhong Guo can proudly lay claim to yet another of my favourite fruits.

I love all kinds of fruit especially pears, bananas, pineapples, mango, peaches. Here it is summer and I'm eating lots of peaches-- raw, grilled, in ice cream. We'll see which I eat most when I get to China.
