Food Find: October Sun Plum

In Chinatown, not every item in the produce section is labeled.  Or, if it is labeled, if you can't read Chinese, you're out of luck.

Last week, my dad picked up this small greenish plum during his Chinatown run.  In Chinese, its name is literally "snake egg."  But however odd the name, we were pleased to discover that the fruit itself was really sweet and juicy.  It was such a treat, we finished the bagful in short order, and my dad went seeking it again during a special extra Chinatown trip... this time picking up THREE bags of the luscious fruit.

And this time, I made sure I snapped a picture of the fruit and found a sticker labeling it in English (yippee!) as "October Sun."  Ah, mystery solved!  Now I'll at least know what I'm looking for...
