I try something new whenever I can. I have been looking for a paw paw for a long time but no luck yet. Last year I had a dragonfruit, odd, didn't really taste like anything. I just cut it in half and ate it. This year I had a cherimoya, sweet and creamy but more seeds than edible fruit. I have tried jackfruit and durian, both OK.
I always wonder what these things would taste like fresh and at their peak. I think it would be totally different and I would try them again!

That's funny. A couple of years ago a vendor showed up at the farmer's market selling nothing but dragon fruit. I tried a sample and it didn't taste like anything, so I asked him what to do with them. His reply was that they are extremely nutritious, so blend them into a smoothie along with more delicious fruits!

I going to buy a dragonfruit just based on how they look....
Maybe they are like oranges, some sweet some not...
Yea dragon fruit and star fruit look fabulous but the flavor is a let down. All show and no substance (though star fruit has more flavor at least). Still kids love the novelty of them tho.

I've had cherimoya from a tree. They are seedy for sure - best appreciated in a slow-pace type of scene with the hot sun making you languid already!

Plucots seem to be widely available here, in the summer. I love loquats but I don't think they grow them commercially, so I have to depend on getting a few from my friends tree. If anyone offers you a loquat, take it.
I don’t see too many pluots here. One year is St. Louis there were loads and loads of wonderful colors and flavors. After that, i found them only intermittently.
I wish I could count on having a variety every summer.
Re: Cempadek, Langsat and Pulasan. SE Asia. Also grown to a small extent in Hawaii, and other tropical locales. Cempadek is an artocarpus, like Jakfruit and Breadfruit.
Langsat and Pulasan are related to Longan, Rambutan and Lychee but even better. Pulasan is a bit like Rambutan, but more flavorful.
We tried a boiled breadfruit last visit to Hawaii. My daughter thought it tasted like an artichoke heart, which I thought was a very perceptive and accurate description.

I love breadfruit, it is super good when you blend it with poi!
