The Brazilian version of Simple Life sent two ‘model and actresses’ (Ticiane Pinheiro and Karina Bacchi ) to a farm in Sao Paulo state. As you can see bellow, the two beauties didn’t love that much the idea of stripping and cleaning the fish they just caught. It will be broadcast soon on TV Record, Brazilian second large TV network.

The sugar-apple (Annona squamosa) is a very common and praised fruit from semi-arid northeastern Brazil. It’s a dry, very sweet fruit, and it have a taste that recalls French d’Anjou pears, dry peaches and also kiwis. Some say it tastes like custard. Custard? No way.
Anyways, it’s perfect for a dessert after dinner and before a cup or two of Shiraz wine (the best Brazilian Shiraz are also made in northeasterner Sao Francisco Valley). The Brazilian name for the fruit is pinha-do-norte (something like “northern-pine”). Because it’s expensive for us in southern, mild climate Brazilian regions, it’s a bizarre fruit even for most of the country inhabitants and a kind of delicacy. Bellow you can see some pics of a sugar-apple being unmercifully murdered (click on the pics for a larger view).
The thing, see from above.
A closer look. The black spots indicate it’s time to kill the beast.
A nightly persecution to a couple thieves in a small motorcycle frantic piloting on the wrong way in a tunnel of a very busy avenue in Sao Paulo. See what the bleep happens.
