7. Mushrooms |
8. Black (dark purple) and green grapes |
9. Passion fruit |

11. Easter eggs |

Photos 7-11 are food in season now: Mushrooms are cheap now but be careful if you pick them in the countryside as some are poisonous! Grapes are yummy too! Passionfruit are delicious with icecream, yoghurt or fresh but you only eat the inside seeds! You can buy blackberries but they are often wild by the side of the road. Chocolate Easter eggs are a traditional food here and other 'spring' shapes like bunnies, birds and nests as well. Shops sell them early even though Easter is in April!! |
