Had not seen these "treasures" since I left Portugal back in the 60's. My neighbor's mother who recently visited from San Diego brought me a box chuck full.
I cannot describe the sensation upon my first bite!
If there is a heaven, I believe I have an idea of what it feels like.

Nêsperas, amiga, ou magnórios, como se diz no Norte.
Nesperas!!!! Que saudades!! What is the name in English? Oh, how I miss them!!!
Isabel
They are called "loquat" this side of the Atlantic.
I also miss diospiros, romas, cerejas (easier to find here) than nesperas. I miss figs, fresh beautiful figs, pingo de mel and the dark black ones.....but if I start listing them all, it would take an eternity.
It all ends up in one simple sentence. I miss "home".....
