those are called tino-tino in Capiz, they grow in ricefields and a wet summer will make them bland while a very dry one can the make it quite acidic even when ripe.

bettyq, you’re right, that’s the fruit i was referring to– bush passionfruit indeed! Thank you! I knew you’d know what i was talking about. I haven’t seen them in about twenty years, i think.

woah! when I first saw your post, i was like, “no, that isn’t it.” but it is. I am familiar with this berry because we used to play with this when we were still kids. i never thought this is edible! this blog has really opened my eyes in the culinary world. thanks MM! :)
