OK Barry - about the three-part fruit: how about the feijoa?
Looks like a lime.
Cut it open, looks like a kiwi.
Tastes like a kiwi-lychee fruit.
Available in New Zealand.
And, absolutely delicious.
Cheers -

THE NEXT KIWI
I've discussed the origin of the "kiwi" and blends like the "pluot." I'm
still waiting for a three-part fruit name, like the traveshamockery of
turducken.
For those interested, see THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, 27 May 2004, pg. D1,
col. 3:
_The Search for the Next Kiwi_
_Growers of Exotic Fruits_
_From Cherimoya to Pluots_
_Vie for Mainstream Appeal_
(...)
(Pg. D7 box--ed.)
_The Next Killer App(le)_ Some exotic fruits that are gaining a foothold in
grocery stores
Blood Orange
ALIAS: Moro orange
Cherimoya
ALIAS: Custard Apple
Lychee
ALIAS: Lychee nut
Kiwano
ALIAS: African horned cucumber; jelly melon
Passion fruit
ALIAS: Granadilla
Starfruit
ALIAS: Carambola
Ugli Fruit
ALIAS: Uniq Fruit
(I've traveled all around and don't think of the above fruits as "exotic,"
but maybe that's just me--ed.)
