Yes, an entire post dedicated to the Kiwi (kiwifruit that is).  I have always enjoy kiwi's so while shopping at the QV Market I saw these huge kiwi.  They were much bigger than any kiwi I saw in the US and they were cheap (5 for $2).  You don't get much here that is cheap so I bought them.  They tasted much different than the kiwi I am accustomed to eating.  They were super sweet, not sour or tart. Maybe because they are grown here and not picked as early. I don't know but I am going to become a fan of the kiwi (fruit and maybe of the New Zealander sport team bloke!).  Below is some of the fruit that Nic and I have been enjoying every morning for brekkie (breakfast in Aussie slang).
