First, I had Abu Farwa, or chestnuts. Believe it or not, I've never had them before! And, they were roasted over open fire - the gas stove to be precise. Too bad I kept picking rotten ones. Yuck.
I also tried a new fruit or vegetable (I'm not sure what it is classified as). It's called harenkesh (ha-RENG-kesh). The street grocer told us it's also called "the hidden lady". It takes kind of tart, a unique flavor that I've never experienced. Here are some pictures:
It's a South American fruit, aka, Cape Gooseberry. (It's not a gooseberry, but more related to tomato or tomatillo.) More here.
