New Foods

While I was at the grocery store crying over the prices, I stumbled across this lovely fruit. "OOH what an interesting, delicious looking fruit that is native to Australia" I said to myself. The name of it is a Tamarillo and from looking at it I expected it to taste like a plum or dragon fruit. I tried it at breakfast. Lets just say it was one of the biggest disappointments in my life. What I expected to taste sweet, juicy and exotic tasted like BITTER (and I mean bitter just in case you couldn't tell by the all caps) piece of ****. It has many layers of flavors. It tastes bitter and almost papaya like at one moment and a little tomato-y and acidic at the end. The texture is also a little weird as you can see it has seeds. Parts of it is a little jelly and others more solid like plum flesh. My friend here just picked up some Kangaroo patties so I am interested to hear his testimonial.
