We are having:
cherimoya (shehechiyanu)
persimmon (also shehechiyanu, maybe we'll save that for the day seuda because it's not so ripe yet and I have 15 other fruits anyhow)
olives
dates
grapes
pomegranate
apple
pear
apricot
mango
clementine
pistachios
macadamia nuts
cashews
almonds
pecans

My father's minhag was to say a shir hamaalos before tasting each fruit. Dh's minhag is just to eat.


Correction: No macadamia nuts. The exotic nut mix wasn't quite so exotic and contains hazelnuts instead. I don't think we'll be eating the persimmon this week after all; it's really hard and google tells me it'll take days to ripen. Passionfruit instead.

Be careful with chirimoya, it can have gray bugs in the peel

I accidentally bought figs. I wont get to read your answers until after shabbos, but I'm curious, how are YOU checking them?

I don't buy figs. If they ended up in my house I'd just put them on the table for show - wrapped in plastic.

My menu is revolving around fruit and the 7 minim:

Lychees to start

Muchroom barley soup

pomegranate nectar to drink

chicken with cooked orange slices
mixed basmati and brown rice with caremalized onions, craisins and chopped pecans
green beans in apricot jam and soy sauce

dessert: nut platter (macadamia, pistachios, almonds, peanuts, cashews)

dried fruit platter: kiwi, mango, guava, dates, figs

candied kunquats, home made candied esrog


This looks so yummy and fun!
