"starfruit" news and stories

Sometimes, you really just want to eat whatever's placed in front of you. Other times, you just want to look at it, amused and delighted by nature's more whimsical side.

Such is the case with this bowl of carambolas, commonly -- and aptly -- known as starfruit. Immortalized by Kitty LaRoux in the Slashfood Flickr pool, they could be used as a centerpiece or placed strategically on a mantelpiece or coffee table. Taste, obviously, is important, but if you caught a bowl of shooting stars, wouldn't you want to just sit back and admire them for a little while, too?
