I have heard of an Asian market here in Knoxville called Sunrise Supermarket, and that they had some tropical fruits, so I went to check ot out today. I bought FRESH mangosteens!!! That's unheard of in Knoxville! I also found longans, lychees, "burro" bananas (looked like 'Orinoco'), and some guava and such. They'll have rambutans in next week! I first tasted all of these wonderful fruits in Thailand last year (fresh), and have really missed the taste of a fresh mangosteen. What a treat!

Anybody else get tropical fruits in your area? Besides the usual mangos, papayas, etc.
