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!)

Left some kudos for the last few Aussies educating the yank on our wildlife.

--Watch out for the Hoop Snake---strange critters and dangerous.

These suckers -bite their tail and start rolling like a bicycle tire .

Dont run downhill-they have been clocked at 38 mile per hour.

When they get along side-they release and go for the throat.

Areas to stay clear of are the ones frequented by Bunyips

and min min lights--just trying to help......................Richo.
