McGavin posted:They're called cherimoyas or custard apples here in Canada. And yes, they are good, even shipped halfway across the world. Are we talking some cultivar of standard apples with an unusual flavour, or Annona senegalensis, a weird scaly tasty thing? Because the latter is good, albeit in no way worth 60Y.

I know of those as paw-paws and they sounded interesting so I planted some seedlings in my woodsy backyard... but I think it's going to be a decade or more before they do anything interesting.

Pawpaw, Asimina triloba, is also related to the soursops. It is in the same family, but a different genus. I'm trying to get my hands on some pawpaw seedlings, but it's hard to find varietals that are adapted to grow at the extreme north of their range in Canada.

BrassRoots posted:Mangos are still goat. Never not amazing. I want to like mangoes, I really do. They look incredible. The skin looks amazing and the flesh looks just perfect. Even the texture feels amazing. But then I bite into one and... nothing. There's something about the flavour that just makes me go meh. Don't know why.

No, I peel and cut them the usual way and put them in salads. It's just they look so full of promise, but the taste is like a boring cantaloupe. The skin makes them look just so good. I mean look at this:  The idea of mangoes is delicious. The reality is disappointing.

Not a big mango fan, but i graduated from hating it to thinking it's okay. I got a big bag of frozen dragon fruit I keep meaning to thaw and taste... Hi chew candy has led me on this journey of exotic fruit discovery

I think mangoes taste like meat sort of, and they have that chemical that dissolves tongue flesh like pineapple

Pretty sure there's a "mangoes taste bad" gene like cilantro has. Sucks to be those people I guess.

Since I have only had them twice because of the previously mentioned throat closing up thing I can't speak definitively, but in that limited experience they're just fine, nothing amazing. One of those fruits that sounds like it should be great though for some ineffable reason. The other fruit that really just sounds like it should be great but isn't, guava. I swear it's used as a flavoring in things almost entirely because people assume it's a delicious exotic fruit. In reality it's like a mediocre apple with a meh texture and seeds in just the right way to make it annoying. I have tried many varieties at many stages of ripeness (which is a challenge because it doesn't last especially long) and theyre always very very just ok.

Aiya not all mangoes are the same. The Mexican and the Indian ones are different. And in the Philippines you have different varieties of mangoes. Just like durian. Or your Granny Smith apple is different from your fuji apples

Just letting you folks know that if you eat too much soursop or nibble on the seeds, you're going to get parkinson's.

Grandma has a tree out back and we use it to make jam. Wonderful stuff.

My problem with mangoes is I can't cut them up decently, it's always a loving disaster. I have no idea how they make those nice square cut ones.

I can no longer find it because Youtube is a hellish nightmare of people trying to get noticed via Shorts, but years ago I watched a video where an Indian dude in boxers & an undershirt demonstrates how to eat a soft mango... basically you massage it thoroughly through the skin, then tear off the little stem stub and pour it out into a bowl. The fact that the dude was sitting there in his unlit kitchen in his underwear was critical to the video.

Facebook Aunt posted:I think it's the name. "Mango" just sounds fun. This is what I think it is. Mango sounds fun, guava sounds exotic. I tried this other niche fruit a couple weeks ago. It has a name in English I'm sure but it was sold to me as 鸡心黄皮果   It's the fruit of some pine tree. And that's what it tastes like, like a pine tree + a lemon with a little bit of some "funny" taste. So lemon pinesol I guess? It wasn't bad, I actually kinda liked them, but I can absolutely see why they're not in every supermarket across the world. I'm also all about these now which are decently common in fruit stores in China. Like a little tomatillo except sweet. They have a little bit of a vanilla flavor if you get them when they're perfectly ripe and I think they're really good.
