fruit salad anyone?? "biribiri" is a word from my childhood, dunno, maybe it grows in Indonesia? very colorful, exotic, yummee tabblo, poster worthy. all i can say... (no not bwana) "way cool!!!" ;)

Fantástico! Que frutas deliciosas... Estou com água na boca. Tirando esta tal de "biribiri" (você inventou essa, fala a verdade), conheço todas. Sabe que uma carambola aqui pode custar de 2 a 3 dólares (uma unidade, não é o quilo não). Eu costumava cortar a carambola e colocar açúcar (na época em açúcar e eu nos dávamos bem) quando criança e fazer festa de aniversário de boneca. Mas por que estou dizendo isso? Deixa pra lá. Adoro cacau. Pena que não se encontra tão fácil. Consigo comprar a polpa por aqui. É... isso aqui já não é mais o fim do mundo, rs...rs...rs... Eu vou colocar este tabblo nos meus favoritos para dar uma olhada de vez em quando nestas delícias!!!

ANNELIES: These fruits weren't meant for salad, but for... caipirinhas! I tasted many of them - and umbu is my favorite. In some of the latest pics you can see bottles of ron, vodka and cachaça. The barmen prepare the drinks on the streets or at the beach and make these arrangments of fruits to attract the customers, of course. I had never heard of "biribiri" before. It's a native plant, don't know if it grows in Indonesia. But I loved its name, by the way.

ELIANE: Então vc acha que eu ia inventar uma fruta e até o nome científico dela? Dou meus perdidos de vez em quando, mas ainda não cheguei a tanta criatividade... rs Gosto mais do formato da carambola do que do gosto (isso acontece às vezes com os humanos também, né não?). O tal jambo branco tem gosto de isopor, só muda a textura. Mas o resto é mesmo uma delícia. E eu também compro polpa de cacau, sempre que posso. Bom saber que já pode ser encontrada por essas bandas. Imagino que seja uma forma de matar as saudades, não? Obrigado por ter "favoritado" estas fotos. Nenhuma delas é grandes coisas em si mesma, mas o conjunto ficou... suculento, né não?

Leftofcenter said at 6:17 p.m. on Jan 26, 2008:
I thought of it (the caipirinhas), didn't want to sound like the tabblo "alchy" ;)
Jigs said at 9:52 p.m. on Jan 26, 2008:
BRILLIANT - in every way!!! Your choice of title is pure genius! I love all the photos but my most favorite of all is the very last shot - a little of everything! It's a beautiful sum-up of all the individual juicy images you took!

Nossa, quanta variedade né? já tomei caipifruta de quase tudo mas o lugar que mais as apreciei foi em Porto Seguro, passei por todas aquelas barraquinhas( pasarela do alcool )...será que ainda existem por lá? Belas fotos Edu.

Sheila said at 2:37 a.m. on Jan 31, 2008:
you have a great eye for great colors... this is a favorite!
Liliana said at 7:37 a.m. on Jan 31, 2008:
Siempre siempre siempre al pensar en Brasil me llegan los gustos, los perfumes, las texturas de algunas frutas...¡¡¡y esa maravilla de "cores"!!! Hermosas todas las tomas y el Tabblo, todo. Y muy didáctico, anque tal vez los nombres sean lo de menos. Estuve pensando, también, como hacer para no perderse entre tantos "cres y nomes", porque cuando llego al final, al texto, no puedo ya ver las primeras frutas... pero si los escribieras, por ejemplo, a los cosatados, perderán fuerza las imágenes. ¿No se puede en el Tabblo clickear una foto y que te mande al nombre, como si fuera un link...? Hablando de frutas, una vez Júnia me envió un calendario en el que cada mes tenía una (preciosa) foto de fruta brasileña, con mangas, guayabas, jabuticabas, de todo. Todavía lo tengo , aunqe no sé en qué lugar... ¿Dónde sacaste las fotos...?
Liliana said at 7:40 a.m. on Jan 31, 2008:
Corrijo: aunque tal vez..., cómo hacer, "cores e nomes" (je,je, me salió portuñol), a los costados, aunque no sé... Qué desastre escribir a lo loco.
Tishfish said at 5:50 a.m. on Oct 8, 2009:
They look very succulent ! ! I would try everything. Fantastic shot ! ! !
Eduardo.affonso said at 6:50 a.m. on Oct 8, 2009:
DOREEN: I am sure you would love them. But I don't think you will ever find most of them at your local supermarket, in Nova Scotia...

LILIANA: Só agora vejo seu comentário de 2008... "Respuesta quae sera tamen"! As fotos foram feitas em Morro de São Paulo, Bahia, na viagem com a Amanda. Concordo que colocar os nomes das frutas junto das imagens poderia ser mais prático, mas tiraria toda a graça.
