I've been madly in love with tamarillo's since I first tasted them, about 14 years ago, in a fruit box at Ubon. That was it - from that moment on I was hooked... Ubon served them raw, with the skin cut virtually to the end, so that you slipped them off and into your mouth. Delicious! As you might suspect, they're a member of the tomato family, complete with seeds hidden in their silky depths. The skin is typically considered inedible because it's so bitter, and they have an incredibly sweet, but predominantly sour taste - probably quite unpalatable for most people, but there's something else in there that's a little more undefined... It's the marmite of fruit...
