Quandongs are a type of fruit found in Australia, and are also known as the native peach. They are semi-parasitic and will get some nutrients from the roots of nearby trees and plants. Quandongs grow right across Australia, even in the dryest areas. The fruit itself had a big seed and a very thin coating of fruit on the outside. The seeds are textured and can be made into interesting jewelry.
Quandongs can be used to make jam and pies.
A quiche is a baked dish made from an egg and cream custard in a pastry crust. Other ingredients are usually added to the custard, such as chopped bacon, vegetables and cheese. Quiche can be eaten cold, which makes it fun to take to a picnic.
