Dear Goanetters, I first met Domnic Fernandes at the KONKAN FRUIT FEST in Panjim on 10 MAY,2003. If you like to see ponos and other fruits, the KFF is at the Promenade opposite INOX/old GMC from 6 to 8 may,2005. ................................... > domnic fernandes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote > The jackfruit originated in India at the foot of the Western Ghats, and is now > very popular throughout South East Asia.
