Here is a video I made on youtube about one of the fruits called cherimoya, which we call custard apples here. ENjoy [www.youtube.com] Re: 15 more exotic fruits

Date: October 04, 2010 05:04AM As OkunDeji stated, I too know that fruit as custard apple, or Noi na in Thailand. It gas a very similar taste to cherimoya. I love the langsat fruit, which I also had in Thailand. Re: 15 more exotic fruits

Date: October 04, 2010 08:21AM At the Raw Spirit Fest, I had for the first time ever, a fruit called White Sapote which I found amazing. It tasted like a cream-filled apple! Re: 15 more exotic fruits

Thanks to your lists (I think it was one of the previous ones), Trive, I recognised the fruit instantly Re: 15 more exotic fruits

Date: October 08, 2010 05:36AM Interesting list...
Rambutan isn't as nice as lychee, imho. I'm surprised to see "Physalis" in the list - it's pretty sour, even when eaten at optimal ripeness. Jaboticaba - hmmm, we planted 3 trees 12 years ago and they have grown well but never fruited. Durian, yep, love it. Miracle fruit - don't trust it. Mangosteen - extremely disappointing. I've had a number but never enjoyed it much. Perhaps the taste is too subtle for me. Cherimoya - nice, but sweet and sickly after eating 3 or 4. Prefer Rollinia - a less sickly, more pear-like flavor in the same family. Jakfruit - delicious, but pretty slimy at optimal ripeness, and takes ages to digest. Monstera deliciosa - this has to be the most caustic fruit ever. It burns the mouth and the throat, even at optimal ripeness (when the segments are peeling off). Pineapple is bland by comparison. We have a few plants (they sucker along the ground), but never eat it. White sapote - yes, delicious. Hard to beat the birds to it, though. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
