No problem, you can grab me an Antarctica next time I'm in Curitiba! Hahaha! I've never had to fruit of this, let me know how it is. I often see them while traveling in the tropics.

Thank you, Dan. Another foreigner in our environment. At least, this one is said to have a very tasty fruit . Hummm, I think I have to go back there to check it...
