World’s most awesomest fruit?
Check this out. It’s called dragonfruit. Raargh!
I ate some for the first time last Thursday. It’s about the size of an apple, with a faint sweet smell. I had absolutely no idea what I’d find when I opened it up. Most grocery stores stock it some of the time.
On the inside it has a uniform texture with small crunchy seeds. It tastes sweet, although it’s not a strong taste. It’s very similar to kiwifruit in both taste and texture – and, like kiwifruit, is perfect for eating with a spoon.
Go now and do likewise.
PS Durian is awesome too, but not for the faint of heart.

With regard to Durian, it should be noted that ‘awesome’ and ‘awful’ have a common root.

CJ: Excellent point. (Heh. Point. . . coz durian are thorny.)

Dragonfruit are a treat for the eyes. I was rather disappointed by the taste, though. I thought it was rather bland.
Still, like I said, in terms of look, they’re totally alien fruit.

W: I like my fruit sweet, so I was happy enough. I confess, chocolate flavoured would have been more exciting.
