Fugato

Freyr — “it begins with an R” was enough encouragement to send me off on a divine mission to resolve The Freaky Fruit Inquiry.

I spoke this:

“obscure fruit” red

into our Lord and Savior, the recently-publicly-offered Great Oracle Of Geeks, Loiterers, and Everyone, and the fifth result had an inviting little R-word in it.

Here’s almost certainly more than you ever wanted to know about rambutans, including the names of their many varieties, such as “lebakbooloos.” The Malay word “rambut” means hair. Makes sense. More sense than “lebakbooloos” anyway.

Freyr, what store was that? I want one of these!
