Cherimoya

[ndrosen]

I bought a cherimoya at the supermarket, and ate it with my lunch today, the first time in years that I've eaten a cherimoya. If you're not familiar with this tropical fruit, it tastes somewhat like a strawberry-flavored banana cream, with black seeds, which should not be eaten, embedded in the custard-like fruit. The British call it a custard apple, and I can understand why.

It's good as a rare and rather expensive treat. If I ate cherimoyas several times a week, I would probably long to vary my routine with an exotic orange, apple, or slice of melon.
