Your description brought back fond memories. I longed to eat some of the fruit when I visited Goa in November last, but it was not the season I guess. When I was very young we used to wash the fruit and sprinkle it with a bit of salt, then eat it. Whilst on the subject of ŽjambulaoŽas we called it, does anyone know about the fruit 'jagoma' - sorry I can't remember what it was called in Konkani. The fruit was greenish-red on the outside and we used to eat it after softening it in the palm of our hand. Angela.
