I’m from Chile and I loved reading this post because it really reminded me of home. (I don’t live there) I live in a country with really low temperatures (-40c) so I normally don’t get many good fruits. You have now made me miss Chile and I hope you liked visiting!

In reply to val. Thanks so much Val for your feedback!! We actually did go through La Serena and wish we had more time to spend in the area. The Chilean fruits we ate were all seasonal and indeed found in other countries as well. The Cherimoya's were among our favorites. Good to know about the technique for slicing through Tuna fruits. I wish we had known that before :) We'll be back and we'll now look for the more organic jarred papayas. We were truly impressed with the fruit offering in Chile. A truly delicious country to visit.

many of them weren’t actually chilean fruit! but they’re still pretty common here 🙂 So nice to see you actually enjoyed more the Cherimoyas and Tunas! they’re from my region (La Serena) so they’re obviously amazing ;)) Also you’re supposed to cut the tuna on the top and the bottom and then slice through vertically slightly so you can remove the skin! its a peeling thechnique 🙂 So glad yall get to enjoyed all the best fruits but it was kind of sad seeing you guys had to eat the comercial less ‘organic’ type of jarred papayas ): and not the genuine artisanal jarred ones from La Serena those are like 183922919292 times better no joke!

Dear Claire and Rosemary, congrats for your fantastic blog. I would only precise that Lucuma is well known pre-columbian fruit of Peru, and documented by ceramics centuries before the arrival of Spaniards. All the best

In reply to Nadia. Thanks so true Nadia...the only way around that is to enjoy the fruits or amazing dishes when you are traveling. It's being fully present with the food. Thanks for your comments!

In reply to Anna Johnston.

You would love Chirimoya…they quickly became some of our favorite fruits. The kiwi is special. It is actually much sweeter than the typical ones you’d find in grocery stores. We learned from a vendor at the farmers market that kiwi’s grown on trees and the reason the big ones are not exported, is because their shape is considered “out of norm”. So, they are local secret! Glad you were inspired to make sweet treats 🙂 Cheers

Wow! How cool are those markets! Always so disappointing when you find amazing food overseas but can’t bring it back.
