Yeah, but it's so rare to find lets say custard apples, I've just recently heard of that anyways, the rarest fruit I've had was dragon fruit one time in the 5'th grade..
I want to know what these other natural foods taste like. How nature could produce so many different forms of flavor all from the same general concept, all from one group of plants called the Angiospermae.

Ok let me just tell all you guys that just like American fruits, there are dull asian fruits.
Just because Lychee berries look weird doesn't mean they're anything better than grapes (99% water).
If you want to try asian fruits that actually taste good and aren't fuck all water, then try these.
>Wood apple
Full of protein, tastes like raisins and nuts. Widely popular in India.
>Black Sapote
This isn't called the chocolate pudding fruit for nothing, although it smells like an orange.
>Mangosteen
King of fruits nigger.
There are others, but a good bit of them are too strange for the American palet. With that said, you fucking soccers moms can venture paste your apples and bananas every once in a while...Faggots.

Can you list some of these? I'm always up for trying new foods.

I tried a few and the local asian market, strangely, doesn't actually have any fruits I've not already heard of/tried (except jackfruit and durian because the rest of the family won't allow me to bring it into the house because they're all "bland is grand" and won't try anything new).

But Anon... most Americans have never many American fruits. They've had old world fruits.

How many Americans do you know that have had prickly pears, scuppernongs, pawpaws, aronia, persimmons and shallons?
Each of those is pretty popular outside of the US while most Americans seem entirely unaware or disinterested that they exist.

papaw tastes/feels like cherimoya with a more banana flavor and just a tad more bitter. never had one that remotely reminded me of a mango and i have a couple of trees. the flowers have this strange odor too that draws little flies. its kinda chemical-like. like citronella mixed with varnish or something.

Had my first ever mangosteen today
It was surprisingly fucking delicious

normally uncommon fruits like the dragonfruits and custard apples that are in your pic are rare for a reason, they either taste like shit like dragonfruit or they are too fiddly to bother like a custard apple

Mangosteens looks like a soft peeled clove of garlic when you cut into the pod and the flavour is pleasantly sweet and slightly sour
Will definitely buy more, they are underrated as fuck. Definitely one of my favourite things now

>> No.6555829

Pineapples and carambolas are fucking amazing, god tier. I also like the taste of mango but I'm not a fan of the texture so I just stick to mango-flavored ice cream and condoms and whatever the fuck. The texture isn't disgusting or anything but it simply doesn't do the taste any justice.

I'll never understand applefags. Even the juiciest apples are "meh" at best.

>I'll never understand applefags. Even the juiciest apples are "meh" at best.
they need to be cooked. their textures are too much like potatoes. modern varieties of apples and pears are softer and juicier then older ones, but it's not the same as a banana or mango, or other soft fruit. they need to be cooked or broken down a bit first.

cooked apples with plenty of sweet spices are really good though.

what kind of mangoes are you eating? if you're eating the big red ones, they're really fibrous and i can see why you don't like it. try to find smaller yellow ones called honey or ataulfo mangoes. they have less fibers and are a bit sweeter.

Mah brethren of African descent. It looks like a purple tomato with a green, leafy "cap" on top of the fruit. You have to squeeze the rind and pop open the fruit, and inside you'll find 6-8 slices of milky sweet flesh. Would recommend, but only if you can get the fresh product aka in some SE Asian country. The imported ones tend to be bruised and of lower quality.
