True. I have never heard of puke-fruit - what is its Latin name,
and which peculiar people regard it as a delicacy?


Vomit fruit, cheesefruit or rotten cheesefruit - Morinda citrifolia.

Found in costal Queensland, Papua New Guinea and India. It is high in
vitamin C and is used as a traditional method of curing colds, diarrhoea and
sore throats, as well as a shampoo.

Don't know if any particular culture regards it as a delicacy though.


Ah, thanks. It sounds useful ....
