The message
from "Nick Gray" contains these words:

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.


Coo! Cures shampoo too! Shampoo made most of my hair fall out - if it
didn't, I can't think what did.

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


Well, if it really does cure shampoo, I'd hazard a guess at Sikhs and
Hassidic Jews...
