Do you have any rare or at least uncommon fruit or vegetable that you would recommend?
My recommendation is the fruit Mangosteen. Very rarely available where I live, and when it is it's hideously expensive, and to top it of it's hard to tell if it's gone bad without opening it, but very delicious when it's good.

Jerusalem Artichokes - nothing to do with Jerusalem and NOT artichokes. Lovely with lemon and pancetta.
Romanesque (eyethai cauli) well nice. Rambutang indonesian fruit.
I like Jerusalem Artichokes too, but that recommendation should come with a gas warning:)
had some Durian when in the Philippines a few years ago. Was delicious. Never seen it here, not that I really look out for it tbf.
Tesco's sell some rareish stuff. Had some Sharon Fruit ehich are pretty tasty.
I was in an french speaking restaurant and they had "gombo". I'd never had guessed what "gombo" was : okra.
I've never liked okra but I'm sure it's considered a sort of premium vegetable?
It always seem a bit .. limp and faintly sour to me.
I do love the taste of asparagus but the smell when you pee could peel paint.

It's now the quince season and these beautifully aromatic fruit can be used to make delicious compote and jelly.
Unfortunately they are not usually stocked by retailers as they spoil easily but can sometimes be found on farmers' markets. The alternative is to grow your own and I decided to do this some years ago. After three or four years the tree will begin to crop and will yield copious amounts of fruit. They will grow anywhere apples are grown.

Flangellio fruit in my household has been pretty popular recently.
Not always readily available, but a good source of Omega 3.
Satisfying.

Where fruit comes from and the variety have a enormous influence on its taste .For me French peaches (variety Royal Glory) and Asian mangoes (variety Alphonse ) cant be beat.
