Arizonian here! I’m really happy that you mentioned mesquite as mesquite is something natural here and something I love eating! I don’t know the sub species but back in my highschool days I’d pick the beans up from the ground of a neighbors lawn after they drop and ate the skin. They’re really good, too! I don’t advice this however as ants and other insects love these beans too and will eat the skin from the inside out. Didn’t know you could make coffee out of them, though! I should try that next chance I get!

Have you tried Medlars yet? They belong to the Apple family and were very popular in England in Medieval times. They need to be bletted before you can eat them though. They come into season around Autumn and then you pick them after the first frost, as this causes them to begin to rot and that’s when they are ready to eat (you can also blet them in your freezer). They have a custard consistency with an apple like taste. I think you’d find them interesting and, I do know where there are a few medlar trees so, I could send you some from the UK, pre bletted, they’d be fine in the post.

Here in argentina we use a lot of Algarrobo (the fruit it's called "algarroba"), it's in the same genus as the Mesquite (Prosopis); there are several species of algarrobo here, all of them have a great wood and grow in extremely varied condition (from the highly fertile areas of the Pampas to the rather desert-like conditions of Cuyo), but a few of them produce the "Algarroba" (mainly Prosopis Alba). It's has been in use since before the europeans came to the continent, and in modern times it declined both in abundance and popularity. But now it is quite popular again as a healthy "sweetener"; algarroba flower it's used in all sorts of sweet baked confections (alfajores, cakes, cookies). It's actually quite healthy and nice in flavour. Other species of Prosopis are used too to prepare "chicha", an alcoholic beverage that's gaining some popularity again, but it's mostly sold as a "souvenir" in towns of the northern part of the country.
