Hi,

So last night I ate a mangosteen (not mangosteen).

It took a little effort to figure out how to get the rind off, but we didn't mess up too badly. With a bit of practice it will be on the right side of the effort-to-get-at-the-food/nutional-value-of-the-food ratio.

It was...very interesting. Kind of banana-y. Mercifully it wasn't like guava or durian or passion fruit which I find to be the "acquired tastes" of the fruit world.

They were also way pricey. So I'll stick to apples, but I'm glad I tried them.

later
Tom

...I'll chip in a $20 to see that.

No.

I had bunches of them in China and again in Bali. I found them easy to fall in love with, but yes, hard to peel. I wish they were easier to get here!
