Hog plum

There are many kinds of fruit and vegetables at the market and in the supermarkets that I'm not at all familiar with.  So I will buy and try.

This is a Hog Plum or Amla http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondias, relative to mangoes.

The ones sold here are a sour fruit, eaten with salt and chillies as a snack.  I quite liked the sourness, Lon didn't.  I was reminded of green papaya used in thai salads, and can imagine buying one to use for that or a salsa.  A quick google showed that they are popular in pickles and chutneys as well.  I get that.
