Tutti frutti (food)

Tutti frutti (from Italian, "all fruits") is a confection (often ice cream) containing a variety of chopped and usually candied fruits, or an artificially created flavoring simulating the combined flavor of many different fruits. It is often made from unripe papaya that is diced, sundried, dyed and soaked in sugar syrup.

The common colors are green, red, orange and yellow.

Tutti Frutti ice cream was a popular flavour until the early 1990's, particularly in coastal resorts and seaside towns around England. It seems to have suffered a serious decline in popularity since then, having disappeared from supermarket shelves and ice cream vans and shops almost entirely. Whilst there doesn't seem to be any particular reason for this, it may have suffered from poor sales due to an increased variety in ice cream flavours. Despite its lack of availability, Tutti Frutti ice cream still seems to have some popularity in some European countries, and there is some demand for its return to stores.
