Stinky Tofu...? Sounds yummy... 😝 LOL! There is so much food here that I wouldn't have any clue how to prepare or eat: dried bean curd skin, lotus seeds, banana blossoms, stinky tofu...!

Regarding the mystery fruit — it's hard to tell how large it is from the photo, but it looks a bit like a breadfruit, or more likely: a durian. I've never seen one in real life, but a Malaysian in one Discord server is always talking about durian and I'd love to try it sometime! (oh, and if I win the 1 HIVE, just keep it because your family needs it more than I do right now!)

I remember hearing SreyYuu mention strawberries in the TV interview! So, you say the strawberries were priced at $7, is that USD? If so, that's about 30 HIVE. I'd like to send that to you so you can get a container next time for your family to enjoy! 🙂

Hi @thekittygirl you are smart! I am with my girls like this fruit so much but Justin don’t like it, he said its smells so bad but I’m smell like delicious. In my country have them so much but here this is first time to sawed them. I think they maybe from China.

I think they must come from far away, I have never heard of durian in the Caribbean.

Nailed it, durian indeed.

I myself love the smell of durian, but not the taste, which is the opposite of most people.

You won the tip fair and square. I wouldn't put up anything I can't afford to give. I have just been thinking about putting Easter eggs in my posts to see who's really reading.

Srey-Yuu's account is now worth around $200, so she could buy the store out of strawberries if she wanted to, but of course we're doing everything in our power not to withdraw any HIVE, and so far so good.

Well, if you insist on a strawberry tip, I have an idea. Perhaps we could document the experience and Srey-Yuu could make a post about it, set you as the beneficiary.

Either way, if you want to send anything, please send to @KidSisters, then I'll have her transfer it to my account so she can learn how to transfer HIVE. I'll give her SRD in cash and then walk to the store together for a #WednesdayWalk, @thekittygirl strawberry edition.

That sounds like a fabulous idea! She learns how to transfer HIVE, she gets her strawberries, and you get a WednesdayWalk post out of it! 😃

By the way, you probably already know this, but hey... Sometimes it is risky sending HIVE to other accounts here because of the variance in account names. For instance, you are @justinparke, NOT @justin-parke or @justin.parke but many have dashes or dots in their names. PEAKD has a great feature to help prevent problems in sending to the wrong account! If you go to someone's blog page, there is a drop-down menu under "Actions" that includes an option to "Send HIVE/HBD" so you always know you're on the correct account before sending funds! I almost always do that to be sure I have the right spelling of an account name, and it might be worth teaching SreyYuu that method, too.

I will send the HIVE to her now! 😊

Wow!! Thanks @thekittygirl.

Also thanks for the tip with the username profile advice. Better to be safe than sorry.

I think this will be a lesson for Srey-Yuu because she's never lost any HIVE yet. Maybe the transfer of the HIVE to my account and me handing over the SRD will crystalize the value in her mind.

Either way, I am determined to make this experience as educational as possible. I will definitely have her send the HIVE to me by herself. She had previously tried to buy buy HIVE with HBD on the market, but that quickly ended in frustration.

This will be an easier task for her, plus there's strawberries involved. I see a @thekittygirl strawberry-themed Wednesday Walk brewing.
