So, I bought this Dragon Fruit on the street in Chinatown...
and I had no idea what I was supposed to do with it.


Then, I read that I should cut it in half.


Shit! That's total food porn right there!


Let's give it a taste...


That shit was good!

2. Pretty much like a kiwi.
The texture is similiar, as well. The seeds are bigger though and have a satisfying pop when you bite down on them.

4. I wouldn't be able to get past the smell.
I'm really sensitive that way.

5. doesn't that smell like ass?
Or am I confusing it with another fruit?

All I know is I'm excited for winter, for that means pomegranates :9

7. Yep
Durians smell like ass. It's one of the weirdest fruits, too.

6. Ooh, you *did* get one!
The ones I was looking at weren't those, and now I don't remember what they were called. They were red, and looked like that had spiny hairs, kind of? They were smooth and white inside, kind of slimy (they had an open one on display). Either way, we opted out. Glad that yours was yummy, though! :hi:
