Great post with lots of lovely pictures of food! A couple years ago, I was looking up videos of exotic fruits because I'd never tried them before but was wondering about native fruits or vegetables from around the world since biodiversity is a wonderful thing to have, and if we have it, I wanted to learn a little about it. And what's normal to me here, is foreign to others elsewhere, and vice versa. So seeing all these lovely and (to me) mysterious fruits on sale at local marketplaces is great, there is an easy way after all to get my hands on all those fruits and vegetables and maybe have the tasting spree of my life! Although I'd still want to see how other people eat the fruits first, nothing quite as embarrassing as a foreigner as struggling on how to open the local fruit...

That's an interesting description of all those cats, one thing I've learned recently about cats is that they wreck havoc on local wildlife, like birds or frogs or anything else smaller than them. While house cats are cute, when they become stray and multiply, they seem more creepy as you note - and they are because they must hunt to survive. Hopefully I'm too pessimistic and you actually did notice birds/other small animals in the same area as all those cats.

I love drinking new drinks as well, and coconut water and sugar cane juice both sound delicious! I have a couple friends from China who basically consumed a whole box of coconut juice from Costco (warehouse style grocery store that sells in big packages) in basically one day, I bet they'd give great business here in Zanzibar haha
