Does fruit and veg drag on?

Do we eat enough fruit and vegetables? I think I'm - personally - borderline with the recommended "five per day"; I take it as a flag to remind me that I should watch my diet in this area rather than something I keep careful track of - and in any case why should an apple and an orange count as "2" whereas 2 apples (or 2 oranges) would just count as 1.The flag has encouraged Lisa and I to have a delivery, every 2 weeks, of a vegetable box containing whatevers in plentiful supply at the current time of year, augmented by a number of other tempting, weird wonderful and unusual things that we probably wouldn't pick off the shelves for ourselves. This thing on the left (do you know what it is?) has appeared in this week's box - together with instructions - and I was left with a choice of "should I eat it or protograph it? You see which option won out ... but I guess I can now go off and eat it if Lisa hasn't already done so.
[[Oh - it's a Dragon Fruit which is why there's that dreadful pun in the title of this item. G and S fruit, who make up and deliver the box, may be found here]]
