No, not a New Zealander, but the fruit, which studies show is the most nutritionally dense fruit, ounce for ounce of popular fruits. I had a wickedly ripe kiwi this morning, and it was really tasty. Problem is, finding a nice ripe kiwi fruit.
I know places where I can find them all the time, but they cost ya.

I dont like kiwi fruit
Can have it as part of fruit salad but that is abt it
I love strawberries too. Nowadays, I have to eat a lot more potassium-rich foods, and since losing a ton of weight, I'm not terribly concerned about sugars or carbs in fruits, especially since I don't soda. Now soda is a killer!
The kiwi-papaya salsa I made for that grilled octopus dish in the gallery was delicious. The papaya balanced out the residual acidity in the kiwi, which I then balanced out with a touch of lime juice, some olive oil, shallot, and my step-mom's scotch bonnet pepper sauce. Mmmm....
One day you should cook for me !!!! (veggie stuf only)
Reading such descriptions is not good for when I am munching on a vegetable panini with NO CHEESE
Gautam, I assure you, the salsa was good just on it's own, and veggie, of course. If cut bigger, and with a few berries, it WOULD make a very nouveau, chic fruit salad...something I should think about, actually...
And kiwi fruit are so PRETTY!
Imagine this....a kiwi (it would have to be somewhat underripe), carved into a tiny basket holding a wee nest of more wee berries...
And just the teeniest dollop of creme fraiche on top....
I know where there are hundreds of ripe kiwifruit all free for the picking - come and help yourself.
I drink a lot of mixed fruit juices. I try to get ones from the health food store that don't have any sugar added, so I suppose that counts, doglover.
We were living in SE Texas around '85 when I saw my first Kiwi fruit in a supermarket. I've loved them ever since.
