Almost all tropical fruit (in indonesia):
Star fruit - texture of the touch core of an apple, no taste
Salak (snakefruit) - pretty skin but no taste, also has stones like a mangosteen which stick to the flesh
Papaya - nice colour outside and in, but lack of flavour and textuere like a watermelon
Rambutan - just like a pretty lychee, probably my fav of these because they're lightly tart compared to the others which are just dilute sugar water

Durian was disappointing for me in a different way, but it was out of season ;_;

lmao look at all this low class pleb unwordly faggots ITT.

Starfruits, dragon fruits, mangosteens, etc are AMAZING. It's just you've never had fresh, ripe ones because you are too poor to travel, and thus have to over pay for some shitty unripe fruit with chemicals sprayed all over them to keep them from rotting.

Mangosteen is one of the healthiest fruits on Earth, and possibly the most nutrition dense fruit with the most complex vitamin profile. I work in the entertainment business and celebrities eat almost exclusively asian fruits for their ability to delay aging.

Many eat papaya everyday, and get mangosteens imported regularly. The only high potency western fruits are berries, nothing else.

I like starfruit. They are pretty and taste vaguely like strawberries.

Fun fact, starfruit are in the same order as Oxalis, a small plant resembling three or four leaf clover. Oxalis has tiny seed pods that are shaped like starfruit but they spread their seeds by exploding.

They didn't have the venison sandwich when I got to the closest Arby's I know, so that was a major disappointment.

I got this, and a free roast beef sandwich (the speaker lady felt bad for me, so she gave me a freebie).

I pretty much expected what the roast beef would taste like, but the deep fried cajun turkey was NOT spicy. When I hear "Cajun", I think "spicy", and this was another disappointment. Not as bad as the first, but still.
