Naspolya

One of the great things about being in Hungary is to taste many new things.


Naspolya's are one of the most interesting. They grow on a tree and in English they are called medlar. The dictionary  says that it is a small deciduous Eurasian tree of the rose family whose fruit resembles a crab apple and is used in preserves.


They each have five seeds in them which takes up a lot of room in the fruit.


To eat them one just peels off the top and suck out the fruit and spits out the seeds.


The texture resembles applesause and I don't even have to cook it.


This picture has nothing to do with nasplya's. It is a picture taken from our bedroom window this morning of the sunrise. What a beautiful world no matter where we are.
