I want to try a sprouted coconut but they're like 30$



I want to try one so bad. I've seen people eat them on various survival shows and they all describe it as the most perfect coconut experience.

It looks like eating a memory foam pillow made out of young coconut, and as someone who fights the urge to eat my PLAIN flavored memory foam pillow, I'm here for it.

But I don't think I could find one even for $30 here in New England.

V V V Right? I also really want to try red dragonfruit...stores near me have the white variety and it's just flavorless, the red one actually looks like it tastes good. V V V

If I were to travel more extensively in the future, it would ultimately be because I have a bucket list of fruits I want to try fresh and locally-harvested

There are loads of incredible tropical fruits that don't travel well, but dragon fruit of any variety is not among them. Lust after cherimoya instead!

I tried a cherimoya once a few years ago, and I think must have been a combination of being in Ohio and that it must have been out of season, but it seemed like an expensive pear to me. I was disappointed, but I’m not going use my experience to say they are bad!

I like dragonfruit, but it's very mild. Most of the ones I've had have been red, they taste sort of like a cross between a kiwi and a banana to me. If you can find them locally grown then they're pretty good, but if they have to be shipped to you I can imagine it's the most bland thing possible.

I know it's funny to say but I'm pretty sure activated almonds is almonds left to soak overnight. They soften up and become easier to peel and nicer to eat. Also apparently they become more nutritious?

Can you speak to the contribution of the sesame oil? Can you conjecture as to why it was included?

It's good as a finishing oil for lots of stir fried vegetables, potatoes included. I would never think to put it in mashed potatoes but of that list of poo poo it didn't seem like the weirdest part.

Honestly, "expensive pear" isn't too far off, although a perfectly ripe cherimoya has a custardy delicacy that is pretty special. That said, I've tried to carry them home like a middle school egg baby from the specialty market before and ended up with a gross bruised mush that was no good plenty of times, so it might not be something that is reasonable to eat if you live more than 20 yards from the tree. Alas.

It may've been overripe if it bruised that easily.
Still, it works great in ice cream and yogurt where you're gonna mash it up anyways.

Yeah, that’s the thing, I didn’t get the custard-like consistency that they’re known for, so I missed out. The one I had didn’t bruise at all, but it wasn’t very ripe at all, which was the issue. Oh well. Maybe if I’m ever in California or something, idk

I used to make these or hotdog wrapped in tortilla all the time back in the day when I lived in Michigan, was paralyzingly depressed, nocturnal and could not afford a lot of food. I used to call them depression dogs or poverty dogs. I occasionally crave them or pasta salad made with frozen mixed vegetables as that was the other food I would sometimes make.

I had forgotten I had been to two of those. It was always the really weird friend that organised a dinner there and the rest of us never understood why.

The last one I remembered without the prompt was going to one in Torrance, CA, and that was for a laugh.

There was a time I'd go to Outback Steakhouse for lunch about once a week.

Because they had an all-you-can eat soup & salad lunch deal and a potato soup and three+ caesar salads for less than :10bux: was solid.

Possible quantity issues aside, it looks like they just grabbed Asian pears instead of the regular kind?

They're supposed to be Asian pears, that's not the issue.

Clearly you've never touched a serrano pepper and then your face.
