Little fruit stalls like this are common.
And of course there is the market.
We felt brave and got some strange food yesterday.
This brainlike fruit tastes ok, but every little brainpiece has a pit and it is near impossible to get the flesh of. We discovered that it is possible to bash it in some water and make a kind of lemonade.
We found this blog on the 'Weeda'

The red things look like small grapes, they have a pit and taste rather bitter, not to my taste.
We still don't know what these are, you meant to eat them as they are. They sell them in small piles, as you can see.

Eating some of the sibi (raisins) now. You need to push the skin off with your tongue and spit it out as its quite thick and bitter, and then eat the fruit from round the pit. Our guard swallows the pits, I think I'll spit them out. They are more like cherries than grapes, but with less flesh, and no juice, and no distinct flavour - just generalised sweetness.
The weda are sour in a good way like lemons, but like lemons a bit too sour for us to enjoy without added sweetening. Apparently they are very popular with children who like to suck the seeds.
mmmmm fruit looks interesting, some more odd than bananas tho!!! I miss mangoes and mangosteins ......
