I can't stomache the taste! It's such an odd flavor.<br /><br />I think I've maybe tried "dragonfruit" or something similar to it. When I tried it I remember thinking that it was a mix between a potato and a kiwi. I loved the little seeds, but was disappointed in the lack of flavor.Mz.kYLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340580540413551781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536009439433682752.post-13981115595202975382012-01-02T10:05:52.234-06:002012-01-02T10:05:52.234-06:00I love all the mentioned fruit except güisquil, bu...I love all the mentioned fruit except güisquil, but my husband likes it a lot. Lychee here are called, I believe, "lychas" and zapote is related to avocado and can be found in different varieties and to different degrees of sweetness. I am a big fruit eater, so have tried them all I think. Try the red bananas, those are really good. They taste just like those Gerber's bananas (baby food). And paternas, big pods full of a cotton-like balls of tremendous sweetness, tasting similar to lychee, but less juicy.Miss Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00441545812710273964noreply@blogger.com
