Yangmei



i was so excited to come across a picture of the yangmei fruit yesterday. i was reading the food blog Kuidaore and it showed a picture of yangmei. it totally reminds me of when i was 10, visiting relatives in china for the first time. i met up with my grandpa, uncle and cousin in Shanghai. one day they bought some yangmei (also known as a chinese strawberry). it was so good - sweet and tart. i pretty much finished the whole bag and my uncle was so sweet he bought me some more. i'm sure if i'm lucky enough to have them one of these days (unfortunately, you can't find them easily here in the U.S.), i'll have a proustian experience.
