Eloi

I saw this fruit yesterday at lunch in Toxic and asked Charles what it was, his answer was as usual "I don't know" He has lived in Vietnam for 5 or 6 years and really has no interest in it or the people (I asked him what Thank you lady's real name was and got the same reply) I asked Rita though and its a "seris" (sounds a bit like the french cerise n'est -ce pas but has three husks in it instead of a stone) and you eat it with salt and ground chillis. Magically loads of these appeared today, which added to the sinking feeling of becoming an eloi in The Time Machine, where they get presented with fruit and sandals by unseen hands but then are snatched from their world above ground and dragged down into the dirty subterranean factories of the morlocks to be a eaten... They probably aren't planning that, probably....

Anyway I 'preciate these fruit more than stinky durian you unnerstan' my mean?
