With our mixed cultures it is always exciting learning something new. Nice linking German descendant in farming to the Indian belief. A fruit I definitely have not seen previously and will also look out for now I know.
Our young guest had not heard about the link to Diwali.
It honestly is one of the most delicious fruit I've ever tasted, absolutely yum!
He said they also call it Sop Appel.
I may have tasted with the Indian friends never seen the fruit. Learned from Africans, fruits that are edible in Northern Natal that I never realized. Connection between Diwala and the fruit adds additional little extra.
