I picked some paw paw the other day, and this stuff is great. It tastes like and has the consistency of mango. I may make a paw paw slushie out of these since they are really messy to eat.

I've actually been meaning to make a similar thread, I'm a huge fan of fruit and want to travel around just to try different fruits of the world.
I've been on a hype about "Cherimoya" lately, at least during it's very short season (the rest of the year I really try not to think about it ). I heard that Mark Twain referred to the cherimoya as "Deliciousness itself" , I heard this quote after eating them and I most certainly concur . The flavor and texture this fruit has literally puts a big ol' smile on my face when I take a bite, it literally makes me want to dance a little jig or even cry at how amazing it taste.


It smells like fruity pebbles cereal, or like a fruity cotton candy, a sweet melange of all sorts of fruity aromas.
They inner flesh is almost custard like....soft, creamy, and very juicy...
The taste...my god the taste ! It's like a combination of every delicious fruit out there, in harmony & balance. Notes of pineapple, mango, coconut, banana, peach, honey....But I can't even really compare it to those other fruits/flavors because it's got such a unique flavor going on....and all those flavors are wrapped up in a soft note of vanilla sweetness that comes through at the end.
I've had a few different varieties/strains (not sure on the names of the varieties I've had)...Some were a little sweeter than others, some had a little more complexity than others, and some had a little bit of an avocado flavor underneath.
If I recall correctly, they're in season typically from January to March . They're mostly grown/imported from South America, but there is one farm I know of on the central coast of California that grows them...I hear most of the fruits from that farm rarely make it out of the state. I'm in northern California, and the two stores that I know of that get them in my town usually only get one or two small shipments/boxes of them when they're in season and that's it.
Not cheap, usually something like $4 to $7 a fruit...but I just get them as a dessert, a special treat....I try to get them as often as I can when they're in season.
I wanted to buy a box of them, and bring them to festivals to hand out to people and blow their minds with the flavor, but by the time festi season comes around cherimoya are out of season.
There's a few other "exotic"/rare fruits I'll ramble on about later.....but cherimoya is hands down my favorite fruit, by far.

I had some 'jackfruit' years ago, as I recall, it had a flavour like a cross between caramel and banana. Seems they are often served at asian banquets and celebrations. Big chestnut coloured seeds, the thing was the size of a football. Cost about £30, and this was 30 years ago.

I've been working on a cantaloupe X honeydew cross the past week or so. Definitely leaning towards cantaloupe in flavor, but it is a little crisper in texture and refreshing in taste like honeydew. I've also been eating some pumpkin-looking white squash (with white flesh, not white Boer pumpkins) with a super creamy texture and flavor. I love trying new fruits/veggies, or just heirloom varities.

Theyre more commonly referred to as custard apple, huge in South-East Asia and cheap as chips.
Jackfruit would probably have to be my favorite exotic fruit. They grow huge and are a pain to process, but fuck is it nice. Gotta get it just right though because if it's even a little too ripe the taste completely changes from heavenly to vile.
