    Just wondering if anyone knows somewhere in Cork you can buy fresh, exotic fruit such as Mangosteens, Lychees and Dragon Fruit?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    By fresh I meant not dried or canned. Thought that was pretty obvious.

    If you want dragonfruit go to the market. The ones they have in Tesco and occasionally Dunnes are ridiculously small and the price. While they will never be like what you get in asia, they are a far better size. Although Tesco seem to have red dragonfruit slip in now and then, which was a surprise when i cut the fruit. I never had one in my time in asia. Only the white flesh ones. Although i noticed no flavour difference.

    Dunnes Douglas do Lycees as well, they do ugli fruit as well if its any interest to you, along with some other oddball tropical fruit.
