Fruit Diversity

High marks for color and composition there - and high jealousy here, since getting anything more exotic than a banana is a rare event here.

Ah, yes, but the complements belong to whomever took the picture and allowed me to pinch it from the web. A fairly high southern Asian population helps maintain such exotic faire in our markets, but not rambutan, mangosteen, or sapote, although the Phactor did find rambutan at Jungle Jim's . It's worth a field trip.
But on the subject of fruit, when I was a Hoosier (in the '30s) I could eat pawpaws. Now there's a great fruit that only midwesterners can enjoy.

Mangosteens are delicious, but have two problems: they are usually expensive, and as far as I know it is not possible to determine if they've gone bad, short of opening one up.
If you really want to up the diversity, bring in some jackfruit and durian. Somehow I don't think peer pressure is enough to get students to try durian!
