Dragon Fruit Has a Knack for Getting Noticed - NYTimes.com

It’s interesting that fruits that I have grown up knowing about (and are pretty common place in Malaysia) are strange and exotic here in the States (and even to some extent in Australia). In this case, this article mentions both dragon fruit (obviously) and rambutan.

On a side note, I had no idea that people called lychee “litchi” until I moved here. I looked at people strangely for awhile til I realised that sometimes it’s actually spelled differently (as litchi) here too.
