[Sca-cooks] source for unusual produce

[Holly Stockley]

Not quite.  The Produce Hunter is a strange little character who wanders the 
globe in serach of new produce, then introduces it to retailers.  He writes 
for Gourmet, the Times, and other publications.  He brought the donut peach 
and other rare fruits to prominence.  Looks like he is now hooked up with a 
distributor.  While they probably won't sell to you directly, you MIGHT be 
able to get a list of retailers.

On the flip side, a LOT of rare fruits are pretty readily available 
seasonally to grocery stores.  You might have a polite word with your local 
produce manager and see what he/she might be willing to do.
