It has various spellings, including in Indonesiawhere it comes from.
It was always spelled Saté, when I had it years ago in Germany and the Netherlands, until recent years when it became popular in New Zealand and the US where people are monoglots and absolutely baffled by any spelling accents. (A Kapiti hairdresser calls itself De'viné, for pity's sake - three errors in one word.)

Don't buy from the supermarket, they're always rip off.

Things are always more expensive when they are out of season, although, in saying that, it is tamarillo season, yet Moore Wilson want $13.95 a kilo. New World has them at $9.95 per kilo, so it sometimes pays to shop around.

Mid-winter prices are a shocker for lots of veges -fortunatelysome fruit like apples are in-season. Maybe we should go the German way and eat lots of saurkraut in winter!

I always check the price of things before I buy and then don't buy out of season. I rarely buy, cucumber, tomatoes or capsicum away from the summer - too pricey.

Perhaps you should try growing your own and see what sort of crop you get in this weather. Then at least, there would be no middleman taking a cut.

Last week I bought really good tamarillos at a local Four Square for $8 a kilo when the Countdown where I usually shop was asking somewhere around $16 or $17 !

capsicums are apparently coming in from the netherlands, we can't import the australian ones at the moment for some reason.
