多年前, 我寫鳳梨芭樂. 有人當它是鳳梨與芭樂, 兩樣不同的水果.
Years ago, I wrote about pineapple guava. Someone mistook it as two different fruits, pineapple and guava.

鳳梨芭樂外皮確有芭樂果香, 但不是芭樂. 芭樂果肉硬且脆. 就是成熟, 也不甚軟. 成熟的鳳梨芭樂果肉軟甜帶有濃郁鳳梨香, 風味十分特殊.
Indeed,  the peel of pineapple guava has guava flavor.  The inside of guava is hard and crispy. Even when it gets riped, it won't be very soft.  Fully riped pineapple guava is tender with a touch of fragrant sweet of pineapple aroma.

入秋之後, 樹上的鳳梨芭樂一一成熟. 我們不上樹採摘鳳梨芭樂果, 而是等它掉落地, 再從地上撿拾起來.
Pineapple guave riped in fall.   We picked up the fruits until they dropped on the ground, instead of climbing up the tree.

收集鳳梨芭樂堆成山, 挑選需要的品質, 就可以出貨. 送到城裡果菜市場販售.
We delivered those selected to the produce market in city.

不合格的留給自己和羊吃. 人一日至少食一籃, 羊則滿滿一桶.
The rejected are for ourselves and goats.  One basket for us and one bucket for goats a day.

人快吃膩啦!!!
I am fed up !!!
