Seriously passionate

Passion fruit! Often imitated, rarely tasted! You can smell it across the room! Tongue may require intensive care afterwords! The oral equivalent of jumping into glacier water but without the detrimental size effects! Like biting into a sweet citrusy chili!

Yes, Passion fruit is bloody incredible. But here are a few other fruits I’ve just tried on my lunch break that I’d previously only had as Fruit Rollup flavors, or at best, a Snapple

Custard apple - Can’t use the local water to make your jello pudding? This, yes, custardy feeling fruit can easily fill in. Doesn’t taste like much, but acts like pudding.

Breadfruit – Be sure to wait until this fragrant fruit’s flesh is ripe and creamy, or face the horror of a starchy tongue

Lychees – Get ‘em fresh or packed in syrup! Soak in sweet white wine for a nifty desert! Eat em whole! Eat em jellied! Just eat some lychees, dammit.

Rambutan - Or, if you can’t eat a lychee, get their hairier neighbor. Sure to cause serious freaking out for all males who see you munching.

Papaya – This one is borderline known in the US. Scoop ‘em out with a spoon. Wusses sprinkle with brown sugar.

Langsat – Looks like a potato, feels like a tough grape, tastes like heaven.

Dragon fruit – Another custardy fruit, the outside is pretty, the inside is a homogeneous grainy white and black-flecked mush for your slurping pleasure.

Durian – This fruit smells so bad that its actually outlawed in public areas of Thailand. But on one follows that pesky ‘stop for red lights’ rule either. Tastes like a a buttery avocado peach. Don’t eat the outside.

Mangosteen – The inside of this pretty little thing looks like a hairless albino tarantula curled up and died in it. Luckily, it tastes a bit better. Kinda like a lychee.

Guava – Juicy, acid, and flavorful. Like yo’ mamma.
