Love Carrots...And Other Oddball Fruits and Vegetables

They are actually quite tasty. The white fleshed ones especially. It is a mix of passionfruit, kiwifruit and custard apple flavours.

These are delicious. Very much like Kiwi.

@ruth and @onewatt… my mouth is watering, plus they look like so much fun to eat!

Trader Joe’s sells freeze-dried mangosteen— it’s awesomeness.

really? They look so cute they look fake! Next time I am in Seattle I will find these cities at Tjs.

i know don’t they look like they’re made of felt??

Looks like something that would be in Mario’s world somewhere…

I love durians! I’m not even going to say it’s acquired taste – I’m pretty sure there’s a gene linked to liking or hating this fruit.

Is that center part – gooey?

not sure, but i hear it smells really really bad. i saw anthony bourdain eat it on his show

has anybody seen andrew zimmern’s reaction to durian? HE COULDN’T It was almost as if smellavision! were real! and he eats everything……

Oh, these are terrible. They taste like mushy grass and onion mixed together into a stringy paste. Some people like them frozen. No good!

Stilton cheese and Durian are the only two foods that British Airways won’t carry, cos they stink!

haha nice fact!

I once stayed in a hotel with a sign telling me I couldn’t have firearms or durian in my room.

hilarious! i think all humans should have the right to bear durian.

I hear they’re not allowed inside hotels in Hong Kong

Durians are the best, although I have to try it several times with a lot of encouragements from friends to get to like the fruit. live life [url=http://www.stephensonandcom… lou

this looks like a candy i remember seeing as a child. anyone remember that too? it was coated w/ colored large grain sugar?

It is ringing a bell, but I can’t think of what it was… This is going to bug me all day!

That is sexy!

is that naturally occurring? The color seems to vivid to be real

yes it’s natural! i’m surprised that the white kind has more vitmains, though

HOLY CRAP!!! IT COMES IN PURPLE????

I’d put this in a vase.

@Chelsea – how Martha of you

How does this exist?!? I’ll tell you: God. Haha.

it certainly does inspire hope.

This looks like it’d shank my throat.

I totally went on a scavenger hunt for Romanesco and found it!

had these in florida . people always thought they were squash until they tasted them.

They look like sugar candy.

lol, what’s that s’posed to mean? (i’m a seventh-day adventist…)

haha I mean…it’s so much more sophisticated ;)

These are called custard apples here in Australia, I just brought some today

these are actually delicious! they taste like slightly unripe bananas. i put it on some cheerios, it was a good meal.

My mother grew these when I was very young. They are peppery like a radish. Being from WVa we thought these were right fancy!

i love these! when i lived in germany i pretended that i was a vegetarian, and they kept feeding me these for some reason…

Which part do you eat?

The fruit, which unfortunately isn’t in this photo

Thanks! Now I have to go research it and see what it looks like!

they are like dancing couples!
