[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 9232964, member: 1210"] I tried my first tejocote yesterday! I'm a fan of weird fruit- weird being relative to what you're used to, of course- and have been on a quest to try as many different types as I can for the last few years, inspired by a Youtuber called Weird Fruit Explorer. My girlfriend and I went on a road trip for New Years, and as part of it, we hit up a large Asian supermarket in Sacramento, where I picked up a whole bunch of varieties of things I have not tried (or been unable to get ripe) and a few new species as well. Yay! So a tejocote is a small round thing, about 30% bigger than a cherry. Some are orange, some are green, some are yellow. The texture is similar to a guava without all the seeds, and the flavor is like... apricot with a hint of citrus? It was quite good! I also got a package of ma-kok, which is a cashew relative I have never heard of before, and a thing of soursop pulp. Soursop has been one of my white whales for a while now, so I am pretty stoked to try that! There are also two exotic banana type (baby and burro), sweet lemons, a gigantic variety of yellow pomelo, and a few other random goodies. I haven't tried any of these yet except the baby banana, which was nice- a creamier texture than a Cavendish (the banana you are most likely familiar with) and a bit of an apple note in the flavor. In the past few years, I have tried many exotic fruits, including tomarillos, guavas, feijoas, ugli fruit, limequats, mandarinquats, white sapotes, mamay sapotes, cherimoya, white, red, and yellow dragonfruit (though these are less exotic all the time, I see them everywhere now), Ponderosa lemon, medlar, prickly pear, longan, etc. And of course, the queen of fruit, the mangosteen (YUM), and the king of fruit, the durian (YUM but definitely not for everyone). Feel free to ask questions if you have them, to suggest fruit species or varieties that I should try, or to share your own exotic fruit experiences! [/QUOTE]
