He he, for sure...I do remember seeing berries at school (which was in the mountains) but life was otherwise in urbansprawl Delhi. We had a custard-apple tree and a guava tree at home which sometimes fruited, and two big mangoes which never did when I was a kid, but funnily enough started up just two years ago!
I also have a great memory of being taken to a lychee orchard once.

I'm kinda late getting my act together in terms of interest in own/wild grown foods. I recently saw on The CorbettReport that it's possible to eat a pine tree!

I've heard of pine needle tea, even in school and that it was food in the cold winter when nothing else is growing. I'll have to look into that more.
...and parts of the bark are edible - can be cooked like pasta, eaten raw or ground into flour :D
