Hi Francois,

>I presently live in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Oh I love it there! I was there in 1970.
Does it remain unchanged, without modern influence in its buildings?

Thank you for clarification. So Jackfruit, cempedak and durian are the most
ancient ones.
I wonder then, if these were the original apple in the garden of Eden?

Have you had pejibaye/chontaduro? I loved it in Colombia.

   used to live in Sri Lanka (Ceylon) for some years and there they were my
>basic and prefered food, along with durian... and sea turtles eggs!

I saw some turtles for sale at an Oriental store here. I'll look for eggs.

I'll look around.

Thanks again for your help!
