I cut one open and this is what it looks like inside. The very first thing that I noticed was the very sweet vanilla smell...and something else...dirty socks?
Ready for the first bite. It was quite custardy in texture. It tasted like vanilla with a hint of pineapple and well, socks. Very sweet and very unusual. Can't say it blew my socks off, but it smelled like it did! A-ha, a-ha, ahem. It wasn't that bad.
I wonder if the kids will like these.
**The kids came home from school and tried these. And the answer is a resounding "No" They did not like them. I googled them and apparently they are quite popular with tasting notes of banana, pineapple, papaya and strawberry. But my kids thought they smelled and tasted like fruity poop.
**I looked up more info. It is probable that the fruit that I purchased was overripe.

They are also known as custard apples.
ReplyDeleteHi Kia..my husband Miguel says that when they are good and not over-ripe they do taste like vanilla custard pudding. It is a very popular Mexican fruit. Of course I laughed with the sock-joke while Miguel got sensitive because he wants us to know it does taste good when not bought over-ripe. He says it is good with vanilla ice-cream. xoxo Jacinta
ReplyDeleteHa! Jacinta, please give Miguel my appologies and tell him I will give this *ahem "unusual" fruit another try.:)
