You know me, I don't buy any of them. Sometimes when it says 'Ketchup'... (Probably be making that here in a minute.)

No, I know you are growing. I also know you don't love them in winter and now that you are canning, you won't have to miss them. I am just saying that the romas (my favorite) aren't that expensive.
 
On Monday,after 2 weeks' cooking, I was told, in on uncertain terms (by my DIL), that we were going OUT - on a foodie trip. That sounded like a good idea, and our first stop was Buford Farmer's Market, in GA.
It's an international market, and I'd say, specialises in SE Asian+Mexican food; the European section was nothing special.
The array of vegetables, fruit ( and fish), and the incredible variety however, were absolutely stunning.
Here's some of the fruit:

Unfortunately, it was my last day in Atlanta. Both my DIL and I kept saying " Ohhhh, if only we'd been to this place 2 weeks ago!!"
I did find some dried pasilla and chipotle chiles, some dried porcini & oyster mushrooms, some Colman's mustard, a small can of Thai green chile sauce, and a spectacular Japanese cleaver (for just $20), so I went away thoroughly satisfied.
Next year, however, will be a whole different story.
 
Just a note.
I'd seen, and eaten all the other fruit in my photos except the mysterious "Egg apple". Never even heard of it. Today I discovered it's native to Southern Mexico and Central America, probably better known as egg fruit. I also discovered (just by looking at the seeds in the middle) that it's the same family as the zapote/mamey (which I find here in Venezuela; pink flesh and utterly divine) and the nispero (light brown flesh, very sweet, utterly divine) .
At first, I thought it might be related to the custard apple and soursop - apparently, not.

The top one baffled me too. It was called "Egg apple"in the shop, but I googled and found nothing. Then I discovered it as egg fruit; from Central America.
The third picture is not longan - although there were some available. It's called mamey, or zapote here in Venezuela.
