fruit

all i could find were mangosteens...i also bought one cherimoya...checked out trader joe's, and they didn't have anything...so i got some black figs since i never tried them



the mangosteens were tasty...a little slimy...soft flesh similar to a lychee, but they look like soft garlic...sweet and a little tart at the same time

i have had cherimoyas before, and i liked them...in my eagerness to eat the one i bought, it didn't register in my head that the fruit wasn't soft and not ready to be eaten...i started cutting and wondered why it was so difficult to cut...then i realized it wasn't ripe...wasted fruit

the figs i got didn't taste like anything...almost no flavor...maybe they're not ripe?...not sure what they're supposed to taste like...fig newtons?

  1. I don't think I've ever had a fig before. Fig newtons, yes. :)
