A fruit called Nam2

Ok. So i keep blogging about outlandish food. Actually, it isn't la. i think that there are so so many fruits and produce which are native to this region, medicinal perhaps and maybe from the forest.

My lovely aunt here is showing the fruit of the Nam-nam tree, as they call it. There is another name which i forget. i remember very very vaguely more than 20 over years ago, having tasted this fruit then never had a chance again until last year.

As you can see the flowers looks like they grow around the trunk of the tree. (i'm not an expert la) And then you can find the fruit looking dried and green, sort of like bits sticking on the trunk. Usually either the birds and bats got to them or they were too shrunken and small.

Last year's crop was bumper. And the nam2 tastes the same. Sourish with a tinge of licoricey.

I like tho.
