Is it just me?
Mood:  cool

Topic: Ignore me please

I stopped by 7-11 this morning to get some coffee on the way to work and saw that the slurpy machine had a dragon-fruit flavor.  I don't think I walk around in a daze, so I'm surmising that the infiltration of what might previously been considered exotic Asian fruits is because of the Olympics being held in Beijing.  Am I alone here?  Because I don't remember seeing anything more exotic than the standard avocado and kiwi in the market and suddenly there are a plethora of spiky, colorful new foods.  

I am all for more variety and say 'bring it on!'  --even though it might take me a little while to try them all.

Serious Eats has a great feature called Snapshots from Asia if you wanna learn more.
