Quince
    #23699969 - 10/02/16 11:47 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Quince is such a delicious, under-rated fruit.

It's a shame that most people haven't even heard of it.

It's a pretty rare fruit and you don't typically come across it at most groceries, but boy is it amazing. Probably my favorite fruit, no exaggeration.



Have you tried quince before?

No I have not tried that fruit, but I have been buying fruits from the tropical section, and slowly trying all the different stuff.

I tried a Cherimoya yesterday, it was good, almost $5 for one, but really good though, nice and creamy on the inside, lots of seed though, but tasted like a pineapple/coconut mix.

Try quince if you ever come across it, it is so delicious. I think it's a seasonal fruit though.

I also tried prickly pear fruit recently, it wasn't very tasty.

I held the pear in my hand, tossing it up and down, forgetting about all the tiny needles. I had so many tiny painful needles embedded in the palm on my hand for the whole day. Ugh.

I do like quince, but it always reminds me of greengage, which is delicious.

So many good fruit to choose from. Lychee, apple, baobab, pomelo, orange. One I'd love to try but haven't seen anywhere is chocolate. I'm told the beans are surrounded in a fruit that tastes like citrusy lychee, which sounds delicious.

Holy shit I was literally just about to make a weird fruit thread.

I am eating a Kiwano Melon



It's actually pretty cool.  Totally worth the $6 to try a fruit I have never tried before.

What does it taste like? It looks like a cross between a pear and an apple.

Pears are pretty awesome when they are ripe. I think that my favorite fruit is probably mango, but it changes from time to time.

They are hard to bite into. Like unripe pears. Their flavour is subtle but delicious.

I will probably buy one next time I see one. I am curious about it. I almost bought a dragon fruit the other day, but it was super expensive so I didn't.

My mother told me that my aunt had a quince tree, but they were not edible until you boiled them.  Maybe that
was some off-the-wall variety.  I didn't know you could eat them raw.

There are some great tropical fruits that are little known.
Ones I like are:

Jamaican orange liliqoi is killer,

Grumichama (like normal cherries but spicy in a good way)
soursop when perfectly ripe (only when perfectly ripe)
jakfruit (only when perfectly ripe).
Mangoes of course (some are way better than others-like all fruits I guess).
Jaboticaba
Yea a good variety of pomello is nice

Durian is great imo, not for everyone though.

sugar apple is good (rolinia)
yellow pitaya is pretty good.
Star apples are nice
Large phillipino white guavas are good.
Jujubes are nice.
A’ea’e bananas are good.
the occaisonal starfruit and egg fruit is nice.
Fuyu persimmons are really good when soft (maybe not so rare in some states?).

That's what they say but I had one in surrey, BC (Canada) (imported from China) that had no stink.  It was awesome.

I have bought plenty of durians and they never had a bad smell. They were always frozen though so that probably has something to do with it.

Interesting, there is a local fruit dealer I know that wants to carry Durians, and would like to get rid of the stink,
I may be testing that out.

Might be a difference between species too. I doubt grocers are gonna stock the shittiest smelling varieties on their shelves.

Where I got it was an international market and trust me, cleanliness and fresh smells was not on their concern list. I think it was mostly to preserve it more than anything.

imagine popping a pimple full of boogers and eating it.  That is how satisfying a kiwano melon is.

Something else that is good is coconuts.

There are several stages of ripeness of coconuts, I just learned this recently.
When they are green but large, they have 'spoon meat' and 'coconut water' both are really good.
the spoon meat starts out like soft jello and can be like hard jello in later stages of 'greenness'.
Also there is a kind of sweet spot that is hard to time in which the coconut water becomes fizzy, like carbonated,
it's really good, might be some fermentation thing?  The green coconuts don't store for long so they don't ship them.

Then after the coconut is sprouted and has leaves, inside is this sweet cotton-candy white fluffy stuff. 
I think its 'pretty good', some people think it's great.  Most people I talk to say it's great.

Most coconuts have water of course, but the kind you get in the states is when the meat is rock hard and the
water not so sweet.  When green, the water is much sweeter, really a treat.

They had a pile of like 5 or 6 at a somewhat upscale supermarket in my area.  You might be familiar with it since we are from the same state it rhymes with coach smothers.  When I went to check out the girl didn't know what it was either.
