DOn't forget "semillas de paterna" that are boiled and served with lime juice and salt, ummm.

DOn,t forget also those semillas de maragnon,which are roasted on top of a comal and peeled by hand,ummm,natural cashews umm.

NObody mentioned cocos yet. You see them on the road as soon as you get close to the airport.

I don't know if someone said anything about "manzanas pedorras", they were not bad,but had little to eat since they have a huge seed inside and are kind of hollow.

 Also, if you go rigth to the San salvador volvano's crater you'll see natural strawberry bushes.  YEs, the same strawberries that we see here but smaller and souer. But, you really have to look for them.

That's all for now. ENjoy our papayas.

de las que yo hablo son de las que se comen así no mas, es decir son amarillas redondas con un palito abajo y la cascara es muy blandita, cuando uno la abre hay unas pepitas con una telita transparente, DELICIOSA!!!!, no conozco con la que se hace jugo, claro que uno puede hace jugo con esta misma!

 

 

Definitivamente las frutas más ricas son la granadilla, el melón, la patilla, la papaya, el mango...

deben probarlas!!

My favorite fruit are banana & pineapple.

Now I also like a lot green mango with salt or sugar (even both will do).  Theirs another little fruit that Ecaudor has that las indiasitas vende en las calles.....I think ciruellas, anythow the are small and when sweet they are red/greenish, but before that they look green little balls. Well I also like those with salt. Yummy.

It's funny...'cause it's true.    I'm looking this things up in the net to see what these people are talking about....LOL

Me too, I am as confundida as you are LOL

Yesi

 What I miss the most are ripe mangos, the yellow ones.  Our neighbours had a tree, since it was so close to my home they were mine too.  We had a couple of manzano mangos that were good only when ripe.  My cousin had a tree on mango-platano, they were delicious,sometimes they were cooked in dulce de panela ,ummmm.

  So mangos are my favorites. You guys haven;t mention caimitos, matazanos (extremely huge fruit I use to eat half and through the other half away to the other kids.

Murcielagos like those red fruit called ,jezz I forgot,but they are small,red and very sweet.

There were also nisperos (jamaicans also have them), zapotes, another yellow one similar to zapote (zunza i think it is).  Remember tamarindo? en fresco is great. somepeople used to eat papaturro ( a white ,nance like little fruit),and there was also "tapaculo", thanks God I never eat those.

Don't forget those sour GUINDAS con chile,limon y sal; tambien JICAMA con todo, y pepino con todo tambien y su juguito. 

ICACOS,se acuerdan?,we had one of those trees, that frute was real sweet, the inside was like silk ,so smooth.  Almendra rojas by the sea too.

Also, aceitunas like fruit, i forgot its name. We also had a granada tree,but there were also granadinas that were jelly inside really sweet. HAbian zunzas tambien, pan de fruta (i've seen that in the jamaican store).  There was another one that smell like "patachuca" that was used as medicine Ithink.  I'm sure there's more frute but I'm sleepy and I'm forgeting them.

I 'll try to recall more stuff. It's enough for now.

I think you can get a lot of those fruits at the Salvadorean store on Kennedy/Ellesmere. If not, at Kensington Market (or El Portugués, like we call it). I've also found several fruits from back home at Soon Le, the chinese market in Scarborough, or in any of the west indian stores all over Toronto.
As for fruits I like, I'm a banano kinda girl, but I also love sandia, mango, piña, melón. I was never big on nancites (nances), jocotes, zapote and I HATE marañones!!! I don't know what pepeto, arrayan, paterna and guindas are. Maybe we call them differently on my side of the continent.

I love fruta, mangos, jocotes, guayabas, mamey, zapote, anonas, mamones, paternas, caimitos, arrayanes, papaturros, maranones, maranones japoneses, nances, capulines, Etc....  Damn ya me dieron ganas de unos manguitos tiernos con sal chile y lomon........
