Re: Today I ate my first feijoa.
Not from my tree, they're not. Mine are old fashioned & lethal.
I've seen many a visitor happily reach & chomp on a soft persimmon of ours , only to find they have numbed their own lips and are rendered speechless with a gob full of something rather nasty.
The only time to eat those is if on an episode of survivor or to wait for enternally for that moment when the inside is completely ugh mush and then risk it.
We leave them for the white eyes who get a bit tiddly pom on them when over ripe.

I bow to your superior knowledge of the home-grown variety. At least the birds enjoy them.
