<span style="font-weight: bold">After clearing I & C, I was then whisked to the mountains for the start of my four-day vacation which was to include fruits and vegetables along with a little fry breadfruit and johnnycakes thrown in for good measure...mint tea, coffee, lemonade and a wide array of fruit juices...beginning with cherry juice </span>

<span style="font-weight: bold">Honey, pepper, leaf-green limes,
Pagan fruit whose names are rhymes,
Mangoes, breadfruit, ginger-roots,
Granadillas, bamboo-shoots,
Cho-cho, ackees, tangerines,
Lemons, purple Congo-beans,
Sugar, okras, kola-nuts,
Fish, tobacco, native hats,
Gold bananas, woven mats,
Plantains, wild-thyme, pallid leeks,
Pigeons with their scarlet beaks,
Oranges, and saffron yams,
Baskets, ruby guava jams,
Turtles, goat-skins, cinnamon,
Allspice, conch-shells, golden rum.
Black skins, babel, and the sun
That burns all colours into one. </span>

<span style="color: #006600"> These fruits and the lone veeggie are a sampling of what we found in the market...if you can identify them, pat yuself on di back...

but coming to think of it...<span style="font-style: italic">otaheiti</span> sounds like somebody never got the word <span style="font-style: italic">Ethiopia</span> right.... on the fruit's introduction to the island...
I would pay a small fortune to have a tree like that. Not that it would bear fruits here
