Good tries to start Dr. Eby!

5 is correct, though it can also be white pepper if harvested immaturely. Not yet on the rest!

You not going to try for 7 and 8?

(and your guess for #1 is veeeeery close!)

I'm definitely not a fruit or spice doctor.

I presume that Dr. Livingstone would have got more than one right.

1. Tamarind

6.papaya (I can't even come up with another good guess so I'm just naming a fruit at this point)

8. tumeric

I presume that is not Stanley holding a Durian fruit in photograph #1B.

#8 is without any doubt, a cashew

If we guess them all correctly, can we please hear from the Six Drips before they leave your fair country?

Michael & Joe Joe said...

Ok Ok Ok... you can hear from them, or at least see 'em. Look above. As to the guesses, not yet! Cashews? Really Kevin? We do grow them here, but that's not them!

1- breadfruit
8- cayenne or chili peppers or some other type of pepper

Jenni

Well done Jenni!

Ashlee: 40 points
Jenni: 20 points

6 is still up for grabs!

That #6 looks a lot like Kiwi, but I'm just guessing. I DON'T KNOW IF ITS GROWN THERE OR NOT. Love ya, Grand MAMA

Kara Joy said...

Okay, here are my guesses for #6

Mango or mangosteen

avocado

or

arabica coffee

It's more of a challenge b/c it's a little hard to see what shape the fruit is.

Michael & Joe Joe said...

Good guesses for #6 ladies. But sorry, not there yet. Agreed the pic is tough, but tougher is that you're probably not familiar with this fruit. Once you compare a picture, I think you'll see the resemblance of a young LITCHI.

Thanks for playing!
