Fruit #7: Cherimoya

Known in english as the custard apple... and that would tell you its approximate size - kind of like an apple.

The outside is like tough leather and has these scaly looking things - although they are all connect. What I mean by that is you can't actually lift up a scale like you could with an artichoke.

The inside is off white, kind of a cream color with very large black seeds. The flesh is indeed custard

like - as much as a fruit that has to have some fibrous stuff in it can be. It is creamy smooth yet with some grit... although the grit is fairly fine.

Like the tomate dulce, it isn't a flavor I could really compare to something else. It is sweet, mild and creamy. The part that is close to the peel is a little bitter.

You just scoop out the flesh and chow down. I like it, Maddy is indifferent and no one else (like usual) would try it. Where is their sense of adventure?

And, by the way, these photos are compliments of Maddy. What skill.
