Exotic Fruit

[the Jester]

About ten years ago, I had breadfruit for the first time. I almost ate myself sick, it was so good.

I've yet to find that one either, but it's on my list. Did you have it cooked? Is it really that bready?

I thought this was going to be a thread about the song "Exotic Fruit" by the band Crispy.

I had never heard of that until now, but there's no reason not to throw it in the mix, I guess!

Ahhhh, europop! That’s new to me, but still somehow familiar.

The Europop mantra!

I did, and it is. To put that in context, the reason I ate so much was because it had been cut into strips and fried, exactly as if it were a potato, making some of the best french fries I'd ever had.

It's kind of a guilty pleasure for me. I don't own any albums and can't really name many bands, but I unironically enjoy it when I hear it.

I’m not BIG into it, but I dig it. I don’t know how many europop CDs I own, but I started with some ABBA in the 1970s and never really stopped buying it. I know I have Whale, Animotion, Sugarcubes/Bjork, and others.

Oddly, never picked up Aqua, though…

If you get to the East Coast around late summer you can try pawpaws. Banana - mango - touch of citrus.

The pawpaw is one of my other white whales. Highly difficult to find commercially due to short shelf life, great reputation, I believe it's an Annona (sp?) like cherimoya and soursop, both of which are fantastic. I am definitely looking forward to finding it one of these days!
