Trying to ID a mysterious fruit

Divine! Lidl (of all places!) was selling them a while back... We don't have a Lidl near here, although they have just opened an Aldi in North Finchley. Are they similar in what they sell, please? Similar- not quite the same, at least in the UK. Aldi (and Lidl) are quite variable- excellent buys for some things. For example, fresh mozzarella, proscuitto di parma. They also had an _excellent_ syrupy balsamic vinegar a while back- the regular balsamic they have is fine, but nothing special. Also, when in season they stock local veg- excellent lancashire tomatoes in the ones here! Also, the baby leaf salad is good. At the moment, the jumbo shrimp and scallops are very good. Don't buy the lobster, very disappointing... Thanks David. When this cold has gone I shall go and have a look. -- June Hughes |
