Here's the crazy yank again, with a question about fruits!!!! GUANDONGS!!

There's a neat article in the national geographic about cassowarys!  Strange birds, those.  Live in the northern part of Australia and parts of New Guinea.  There's a picture in there of them eating  a weird blue fruit called a Guandong.

 

Please, what is it?  What does it taste like?  Do you folks eat them?  I really need something different - sick and tired of pinapples.  Kiwi fruit are ok.  Coming up next - barbecued cassuary....  (just kidding!)

What's wrong with' filter' or 'cache'?

I think his armoury of weapons was bleeped.   A.R.S.E.N.A.L.   I don't know what happens in England when discussion is about their football/soccer team.

I have a waffle jaffle iron.  Would your weapon of choice leave a lovely patterned imprint upon the "invader"?

Hi Deb--had a couple of mates -collected jaffle irons.

Became an obsession-they had hundreds each

Some had a map of Australia or Australian animals that left an imprint on the bread.

Others had two or three irons on the one handle..................................Richo.

I'm trying to picture the collections. Rustic wall hanging?  

 

They would make extraordinary wind chimes.  

 

Or hang them low enough around the exterior windows/doors that an invader would "dong" himself without the need of Sinee....

exerting himself with the selection process or physical requirement to deter said invader.Smiley Very Happy

These blokes had square.round and triangle shapes.

No one was allowed to come back from a trip in the outback

without coming home with at least one iron-then they would fight over it lol.
