G'Day,

Had a similar eye watering experience when I first made friends amongst the
West Indian community in England 38 years ago. Used to study calculus at
night with my mate Jim Singh. He would eat these pretty green and red fruits
but never offered me any, until I protested one evening. He did warn me but
would I listen? Of course not! I was 17 and the 'fruits' looked cool!

All the best, PeterO
