/ck/ - Food & Cooking

go on, OP

>>7906153
that's not a kiwano melon

There are a few dozen varieties of apples I'd prefer to eat over dragonfruit.

It's really only disappointing because it looks exotic and has a fancy name. If anything, I'd say star fruit is the most disappointing fruit, and I've been eating those since preschool where we had a couple of trees - but if I bought one in a grocery store for a dollar a piece I'd probably be a little pissed.

>>7906188

*meant to say that there's a few dozen varieties of apples that I wouldn't want to eat given the option of having a dragon fruit, but still, I'd concede that it's looks and name don't live up to the admittedly bland taste.

>>7906158

>fucking DRAGON fruit
>looks bad ass
>expensive
>tastes like a flavorless watermelon

>>7906168
>looks like an alien fruit
>bright colors trick you into thinking its some amazing citrus shit
>literally a cucumber, maybe even a bland cuc

>>7906221
We (in it's place of origin) call it pitaya, so we do not get the excitement from the name
>(cactus tunas are better; the consistency of ice-cream, blood red and sweet)

I am going to Mercado Hidalgo here in Tijuana later this day, I may get some exotic fruits and post them later

>>7906290
THIS FUCKING THING
dear god
buying this was the worst mistake i ever made
I tried everything
Juicing it
Making a glaze
Making chutney
Making salsa

its fucking retared. looks like an alien orange. Tastes like a green banana. seeds like a watermelon. A LOT of seeds. I can see why africa fails so hard if this is the shit they grow

>buying meme fruits
Nigger if you ever come across something that isn't apples, bananas, oranges and their cousins, passion fruit, jaboticapa, grapes, acai or pears, you shouldn't buy the shit because it's a meme for niggers.

>>7907015
>rasberries, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, figs, fejoa, apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums, rock melon and pineapple are memes for niggers
>'jaboticapa' isn't a meme for niggers

>>7907374
:'(

>>7906221
I'd say it tastes more like a very bland kiwi.

>>7907338
It's literally Nigger: The Fruit

>>7906188
I was let down by them starfruit

jackfruit best fruit

That's not grapefruit

I'm always dissapointed by store-bought strawberries.

I feel such hope, every time.

Nope, they're still pale and pithy and sour on the inside, or rotten. No middle ground.

I remember when /ck/ wasn't infiltrated by wannabe "social media professionals" and actually had some sense of spontaneity and soul.

>>7906153
You bought the wrong one homey

>>7906153
I like them. Very refreshing taste.

>>7906221
Well if you want to taste watermelon, you can go buy a watermelon. Which o hatni' ass'
If it's so expensive, why don't you grow your own?

You're a dick for wasting food.
You could have sliced it and used it in a salad or thrown it into a smoothie or something else, its not like it tastes bad

>>7908048

I had no idea how good strawberries actually tasted until I moved to California and stared getting them fresh from the fields.

>>7906153
don't be so hard on yourself

>>7906153
Its for Asian people my friend. Just like the Duran, and all the other 'crazy' fruits you don't like either.

source: being married to an Asian

>>7908048
I feel the same way about blueberries now, since I finally got a blueberry bush and can eat them right off the cane, I can never go back to store bought.

>>7908935
>That guy who uses any thread as an excuse to blog

>>7908971

Seriously.

Why can't people just drunkenly yell at other anons like a normal /ck/ poster? (I honestly do agree with you though.)

>>7908935
Durian is a delicious blessing. White people just need for someone to process it into a smoothie first. That way, they skip the step containing questionable smells.

>>7908566
>wasting

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you anon?

>throwing away prefectly good food to feed worms instead of yourself
Yeh sure thing buddy

>>7906153
I really enjoy both the purple and white versions of that, maybe your palate isn't as refined.

i think all these exotic fruits are bland as fuck 'cause they've been minimally cultivated by humans.

fruit is so tasty today 'cause humans selectively bred them to be tastier and tastier over the centuries.

wild fruit generally sucks.

>>7909478
>fruit is so tasty today
ive it another 5 years and most fruits will be rock solid bright bags of water because that's the variety big industrial company want to put on shelves.Peaches and Apricots are already dead. Apples are close. Most Oranges are neither good looking nor tasting. if you don't live in a rural area where you can grow them yourself or know some farmers you never tasted a delicious fruit.

>>7909559
It's almost like you don't know about farmer's markets or upscale, local grocers that don't sell non-local produce.

>>7909564
>y.y.you just don't know
kek. Enjoy your crunchy peaches, peasant.

>>7909666
Sure, yeah, go ahead and ignore the three farms within 20 miles of me that grow outstanding peach varietals.

Stop buying your fruit at walmart. Spend a little more time and money and you might actually be happy with the results.

>>7909666
>crunchy peaches

Those are the fucking worst.

>>7906153
On the other hand, these bitches look fucking disgusting but taste amazing. It sucks that I can only get them here a few weeks a year and they're expensive as fuck. You can buy them for pennies to the pound in Latin America.

>>7906153
>Buy one on a whim one day because fucking Dragonfruit
>6 euros
>fuck, this better be good
>go home
>split in two
>have a taste
>it's like a shitter kiwi

And that's how I got conned of 6 euros.

>>7906153
My grandma used to have a caqui tree in argentina, they looked so fucking tasty hanging from the branches, shit's bland as fuck and the texture is like sand. She also had these small bright red plumps that had no flavor either. But her mangos... Holy shit they were incredible

>>7906153
Truth: the post

>>7909853
The crunchy flat persimmons are shit, but the big and tall ones are pretty good when fully ripe.

>>7908566
>Make my smoothie bland
>Make my salad more bland
No thanks, besides, it was mainly used for me to grow my own strawberries, so it was hardly as wasted as you think

>>7909853
maybe i've eaten some other breed, but they are sweet and a little weird but good taste. Still, they are edible when they are one step away from becoming spoiled. Like bananas. Otherwise they taste like nothing.

Don't mind me just being the human invention since the wheel. Don't respond if you agree with me

>>7910234
what does that even mean? delete and repost.

>>7907539
this

>>7907810
also this

>>7909559
A lot of it has to do with when they are picked. Those peaches would be a lot better if they were actually able to chill out on the tree, but they wouldn't last nearly as long and would all be bruised. It's a lose/lose deal.

>>7907338
you dumbass, they grow that fruit because you don't want to buy it all, which means they can aford to buy it instead of be better off selling it to your white privilaged ass.

>>7908387
This. I go to Taiwan every once in a while and the red-fleshed dragonfruit there is much better than the white ones. The imported ones I've had in the states just cannot compare since they aren't freshly harvested and are always white-fleshed variety.

>>7906153
I used to agree with you, but after spending some time in Thailand and China, and eating these every day, I have to say they can be truly fantastic, with a sort of kiwi flavour. I guess this is a fruit that doesn't travel well by air freight

>>7909893
Well then dont be bitching about "spending good money" and "being conned" then.

>>7906153
I'm not too into sweet things so dragon fruit is perfect for me

>>7910596
>you dumbass, they grow that fruit because you don't want to buy it all, which means they can aford to buy it instead of be better off selling it to your white privilaged ass.

What sort of unintelligible nigger-babble is this

>>7908048
>tfw grow my own strawbs
>tfw taste heavenly, unlike grocery store shit

Honestly after growing my own fruit I can't fucking eat store-tier shit. It just has a terrible taste

>>7906153
The white ones are super shit. Look for red.

>Oh man, it's protected by a badass set of spikes
>And it looks like a zesty fruit inside
>This'll be great!

>>7911726
It's called having an acquired taste

Best vegetable

>>7906153
While I agree that most of them are bland as shit, if you manage to pick a few good ones then they aren't so bad
That said, I like to chop them up with ice and pour sugar all over, tastes good then
Sauce: Asian

>>7906153
Damn OP, same shit happened here. I bought dragonfruit recently and thought it would have a lot of flavor, turned out to taste like a completely bland/flavorless and mildly sweet kiwi

>>7911822
Not for everyone, but at least you get exactly what the name implies.

>>7911822
Absolutely disgusting, this shit should have been culled from it's first discovery

>>7911800

Durian smells and tastes like what I imagine it would be like to suck on a dead hobo's toes.

>>7913650
>taste
You wanna know how I know you're a middle class whitey who never tasted any tropical fruits beside pineapple and banana?

>>7913650
Nah it's pretty good,sweet and creamy,reminds me a bit of nougat.

you cheeky piece of shit

>>7906153
Literally a glorified kiwi. That's pretty much it.

>>7909696

Lilikoi. Got a vine out back with some on.

I would never pay for it in my life tho.

>>7910234

what is that with the jabong? salt and peppers?

>>7906153
Apart from the texture, these are pretty alright.

>>7915147
Dunno what part of the world you're from. In Latin America it's a Granadia.

>>7908137

>>7909559
>Peaches and Apricots are already dead.

this. grew up in oklahoma near stratford, so had access to amazing fresh peaches. then moved to georgia for work; again awesome fresh peaches. now nowhere near peach country, so only peaches are from grocery store. they're some kind of rock hard white flesh peruvian piece of shit. no peach flavor, hard as fuck, texture all wrong. this is bullshit. we should all have access to awesome locally raised peaches, but no, corporate bullshit finances peru bullshit instead of quality product.

>>7913669
>sweet and creamy,reminds me a bit of nougat.

like a dead hobos toes? especially the nougat part.

>dragon fruit
>Is actually from México

Fucking hipsters calling it a meme name

>>7907338
have you tried pickling it?

>>7909853
Those things smell and taste like literal cum.

>>7915846
Why

>>7908387
Can confirm that red-fleshed is god-tier

>>7915846
dammit

>>7908387
Say, are they related to prickly pears?

Lychee fruit are super disappointing after having various lychee flavored products.

Gg

>>7909853
I'd taste your grandmas mangos.
Anyway, this fruit needs to be soft to be eaten. After buying it you need to put it in the refrigerator. Let it stay there until frozen. Take it out and wait for it to unfreeze, it'll be soft and taste delicious. Just remember me after this.

This isn't really exotic, but I like plantains, not plain but they're really good when cooked like however this is, it was amazing and it's Puerto Rican from what I know

>>7910234

>Just being the human invention since the wheel
>20 or so posts later he still hasn't clarified

What the fuck

>>7906153
those are actually very good when fresh but sadly they don't grow anywhere near my country.

>>7915846
Jokes on you, I have immunity lizard protecting me.

>>7916963
Maduros are godlike. Tostones are nice with some salt, lime, and a beer. Plantains are wondrful

I know it's a fruit thread, but from the day they released the first one, I'd buy the Archie Sonic Comics. I fucking loved Sonic when I was a kid.

So each month, I'd go to the newsagents, I'd get the comic and I'd read it. And they'd always have adverts for Captain Crunch.

I waited about 20 years to try this shit and was so excited when I found an import store that sold them, it was complete and utter garbage.

>>7913712

>>7917257
If that's the flavor you tried, you made a tactical error

>>7909559

Looks like there are still some advantages to living in Alabama. If all you have is tasteless peaches I really feel sorry for you.

On the commercial side I agree about peaches, nectarines, and apples. However, oranges still uses for the most part washington navel orange and valencia orange, which have been around over 40years. Furthermore, cutie mandarins(which refers to multiple varieties of mandarins depending on availability) have been entering the marketplace more and more.Bananas are a great example of only having one variety that sucks just because the color,packing, and the fact that it is virtually seedless.

>>7906153
I really like these. They taste mild, sweet and refreshing. I love the texture too. They don't lack flavor they just aren't super-strong tasting. I don't eat a lot of sweets, processed food or salt though. But I've heard they can taste bland to western taste buds that are used to a lot of sugar and salt for 'taste'.

Autism activated: big "thorns" are called spines and the little hairlike ones that are really hard to remove are called glochids. Use a blow torch and tongs to burn of the small glochids. Cut both ends off. Make an incision length wise cutting the skin without cutting too much into the fruit. Then peel.
