    I was in Trinidad recently and they had the most amazing hand made soursop ice-cream. I really want to try and make some but being a tropical fruit, I have no idea where to find it. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some or if it is even possible?

    Thanks guys.

    Say the chances are slim, you could try contacting directly Fyffes(Total Produce). They bought Utopia Fruits a couple of years back in the UK and it was one of the leading Exotics Importers into Europe so they should be able to tell you.

    I've never seen soursop anywhere in Ireland. If you find it anywhere I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know.

    Fyffes is able to order them for you I believe.
    Contact them at 01-8872700, or ring Kevin 085-7722522 as he does the ordering.
