Hi, I must say that just by reading your discussion, I am getting hungry. LOL And I can really visualize what you are describing, and maybe imagine the smell, too! Yummy. It's a sight I have yet to see. I am sure you are a good cook, from most of your posts, you seem to love cooking and eating. You are very generous to want us to taste the products of your hands and you remind me of my late mother who loved to cook and she just cooked very delicious food. Unfortunately, we live in an apartment and we do not have a garden. But our home when I was still single, we had a tree of sweet sop, a tree of star apple, a tree of star fruit and I think some others as well when I was younger.

Thank you. Have a nice day to you as well! I am amazed by your passion for cooking and you seem to prepare so much food, it's like a festivity(= hehehe. And you seem to balance it out because you have lighter meals for supper and healthier, too. Way to go!

Mmmm, now as I finally toddle off to bed I know what I will dream of tonight! All those lovely vegetables. I will dream of a sweet potato sprouting and growing beautiful green leaves which make a pretty houseplant and are also delicious for nibbling. The peppers make beautiful house or garden plants, too don't they. No wonder you are such a good cook, with all those marvelous things. Have a wonderful day!

Oh, you have sweet potatoes? That's the only one we don't grow up here, it has too long a season. I love them, too.

You're very sweet! Glad you asked to be my friend and I accepted because your topics are cool!
Dry tomatoes in the country are so-o-o expensive, that I've never tried any. I'm wondering if they're less acid than fresh. Chokecherries are very acid, but I dried some and most of the acide was gone, so I could eat them much better without stomach upset. Dry figs are expensive here, too. Love them! What kind of figs are they? I've had blond and mission before.
Carob, I think is an acquired taste. Compared to chocolate, it would take some getting used to, but if I didn't eat chocolate for awhile... Love olives-black in salads and green pickled on the side.
All kinds of apples, we have that here, too. Would be neat if we could trade apples, honey crisps are all the rage now. They're the new pair-apple, an apple that tastes like a pair at first. Very juicy and sweet.
Northern NY, we can't grow peaches, oranges, and lemons and they really cost. I'd want some of those definitely. Quinces, my Mom used to grow Japanese Quince, but bind weed choked them out. Nuts, what kind? I love all kinds, but some I like more than others.
Wow! It must be something to grow paprika.
All kinds of potatoes grow up here and they're pretty cheap, besides, they would cost a bundle to transport (if we could that is). Many people are starting to grow garlic up here. I have 2 kings of onions in my garden that come back each year and I have chives.
I think visiting your country would be very interesting. Is it stable right now or is there anything going on? Not that I have any money to go anywhere and probably won't for 6 or more years. Dreaming of food, what a way to spend a day!
I hope you have plenty of food for the winter and that you are very happy and healthy. Take care
