On arrival in Brazil you can t fail to be awed by the impressive range of fruit on
display in all its colorful glory; how is it that in Europe a passion fruit is
small and shriveled and brown and yet here it is enormous, yellow, shiny and
smooth? The choice of fruit is baffling, including both varieties that are imported

water banana or a gold banana or an earth banana or one of many other
varieties) is not actually a native Brazilian but emigrated here some 500 years ago
with the Portuguese.
