DC: cherimoya fruit is similar in taste to soursop, if you've ever had that. Sometimes can be called custard apple. Some people are put off by the texture. I suggest you try one first
Compost bin - I've done a lot of research into it, and I'm not sure I'd be able to pull it off (I don't want to derail your topic here). Same research led me to vermicomposting, which I may considering giving a go.
I forgot to mention, I also have a pineapple guava (aka feijoa). I have a sentimental attachment to this fruit, having grown up with one in nearly every home, so I have to at least give it a try in the partial shade.
Subrosa: thanks for the recommendation, I'll take a look to see what they have at the nurseries, but a quick search shows the huckleberries top at zone 9; since I'm 10a coastal, it doesn't get quite as hot here as 10b, so maybe I could pull it off. Will see if I can even find it.
I also looked up vaccinium ovatum out of curiosity (zone 8 top end), and.. it looks exactly like the shrub in front of my house. Which is doing quite well, and even has berries on it.... don't worry, I won't try them.
