Tropical Fruits

As a kid, I would always travel with my family to Taiwan to visit the grandparents during the summer.
The weather wasn't much to brag about, since it was hot and humid most of the time (like in the 100s everyday with 95% humidity - not very fun if you don't have A/C).
But the food was fantastic. From snacks, to meals, to desserts and especially the fruits.
I recently read an article in the Times about tropical fruits and how they may start appearing in our grocery stores pretty soon.
Now I'm not talking about mangos or papayas, or even lychees. That's stuff we all know and love already. I'm talking about Mangosteens, Rambutans, Biriba, Bell Fruit.
The idea of them being available to consumers in the US tickles me pink.
