The fruit was found in the streets of San Francisco. The diameter is about 1 inch. The shell is very hard.

Any guess what the tree it comes from??

I would look at Laura Ashley's rugs, I think an Aubusson style rug would work wonderfully well and Laura Ashley produce some that I see in some of the best homes and they always look original introduced with classic furniture like yours....my choice would be http://www.lauraashley.com/uk/rugs/baroque-cotton-and-wool-rug/invt/3585531 or http://www.lauraashley.com/uk/rugs/victoriana-traditional-cotton-and-wool-rug/invt/victorianaru

Mango definitely but only good ones, grown and ripened in the sunshine! Love eating them at the beach not worrying about the juice running down our arms and then just going into the surf to wash it all off and float around in the sunshine ... bliss! Also love watermelon as a close second. Grew up eating it as a fruit but also as a light meal with haloumi in plain white bread - delicious!

What kind of milk do you like best?

After all this information about houzzers' various likes and dislikes, can I do a bit of summing up? Different people like different foods and drinks and are fully entitled to make their choices. Human beings have evolved as omnivores to eat both animal and vegetable foods. Everyone needs a balanced diet and this can include both kinds of food or, generally with a bit of planning, vegetable only. Too much of any one food is not advisable even if it is something "good for you" like spinach. [The person who noted that spinach contains oxalic acid, which is an alkaloid, is quite correct but you would need to be eating Popeye quantities of it for it to do you harm. All green vegetables contain various alkaloids and lettuce contains an opiate - remember Beatrix Potter's Flopsy Bunnies falling asleep after eating a surfeit of Mr McGregor's lettuces.]. Some people are allergic to or intolerant of certain foods, lactose (which generally means cows milk lactose but all animal milk , goat and sheep as well as cow, has lactose), gluten and peanuts are the best known. You can become intolerant of things you like [I have a friend who is lactose and gluten intolerant and dreams of cream cake!]. Whole milk has on average 225 calories per pint, semi-skimmed about half that. A sedentary adult woman has a daily calorie requirement of 1800 to 2000 calories depending on height. If you drink half a pint of milk a day in tea, coffee on cereal etc. you are not saving many calories by using semi-skimmed, especially if you find yourself putting more of it into the coffee. Sugar about 20 calories per teaspoonful (5 grams). There are no brownie points in heaven for consuming processed milk substitutes or similar stuff but their manufacturers might give you points to collect to buy more of it. Remember that their main interest is selling you goods with the greatest value added factor. [You can make your own soy milk from the beans if that is what you like. Internet search will produce several recipes.] If you are interested in what I eat and do not eat: I am mostly vegetarian by taste rather than conviction and I almost always prepare food from fresh raw ingredients. The less it has been processed before it gets to me the better. There are things I do not buy because I do not especially like them and there are plenty of alternatives around which I do like. I have a very short list of foods I will refuse if presented with them by a host. Principal among these are factory reared chicken (because of the cruelty of its production and the antibiotics used) and sweet potatoes (because they invariably make me vomit within 5 minutes of swallowing them). I am a fanatic on not wasting food or putting anything biodegradable into refuse that will go into landfill.

I hate that auto spell sometimes. Ruined a good joke. My proofreading would help.

Many thanks nonmember_gw - you are right. Btw, I've never seen the tree but the pictures. Some species, like Summer Red, are really awesome.
