  2. I like the cropped one too. They are an interesting colour. Are they edible?

    Thanks for stopping by earlier.

  3. I really miss mangosteen! Back at home usually you'd eat these after eating durians to "cool" your body off from the durians' heat. ^^
    They are very nicely drawn, and I could almost smell them and feel the texture of the fruit in my teeth! Yummy!

  4. Thanks everyone. Yes they are edible and delicious...not sure how to describe the taste...someone on the web described them as creamy peachy with a hint of lychee.
    Alex, thank-you! Maybe you can help describe the taste?
    I love mangosteen but I have heard they just don't travel....not so keen on durian though as that smell (in the heat)! Definately an acquired taste

  5. I've had mangosteen juice before, but I had no idea what the fruit looked like! Beautiful!!
