It’s amazing, here, how easy it is to get hooked on fruit. It’s no news, though, that I have that particular weakness – but what’s even more, here, is that some fruits are so incredibly cheap!
I eat guavas by the dozen, every day. Not a problem. Today I bought 20 for about four kronor (70 US cents?).
A big papaya costs about seven kronor. A big watermelon has the same price.
And a new discovery: the yellow melon, which might be honeydew melon or a close relative. Today I bought eight small yellow parcels of juicy sweetness for seven kronor from a village.
Combine that with all the bags of groundnuts that I have, and I won’t have to eat anything else.
