Unusual Fruit & Veg
Such a wide range of fruit and veg offered for sale at my recent trip to Borough Market. I found these Australian finger limes for sale. Has anyone seen them before? Any Aussie blog readers out there know anything about them? I am amazed at the infinite variety in nature.
I mentioned in a previous blog that Borough Market is right next door to Southwark Cathedral. A lovely place to sit and have lunch whils admiring the gargoyles!
Many beautiful displays of fresh fruit, veg and fungi. 
You don't see this quality at Sainsbury's or Tesco. All I miss is the convenience.

Hi Matron
The Finger Lime is an Aussie native "Bush Tucker" plant. I haven't tried growing it yet.
Here are some links with more info:
From CSIRO
From New Crops
Scarecrow - thank you for that, I read the links - really interesting.
Oops! I put my comment about yummy Aussie finger limes under your previous post - greenhouse.
Anyway we are growing a finger lime bush on the Adelaide plains, so shall let you know how they grow and if we get fruit.
How did you get finger limes there when I have never seen them for sale here, in South Australia?? Hello to Maggie and Scarecrow too!
Borough Market looks like a wonderful place ... It's great that you've got such a variety there.
I too am an Aussie but had never heard of the finger limes. But upon googling it, I'm now well informed - delicious looking fruit. Here's a link I found:
