Vitamin C in all its glorious forms

Q came home today with about 30 kg of random fruit. He had so much he had to call me when my classes were over and told me to come meet him at the bus stop with a suitcase to carry them all. Here are the results of the tasting event:



A tropical cornucopia



With faces drawn on them, each representing their respective cultures and greatest personal traits.



The dragon eye with its flesh partially removed.



Subhash showing us how to slaughter and skin a dragon(fruit)



The brightest, most neon purple I've ever seen. And yet this is the most tasteless fruit of the entire batch.



The resulting carnage... overall I'd say the mango, mangosteen (see earlier post), and dragon eyes (taste like lychee) were the best. Pomegranates are good but they have annoying seeds in every bit. Dragonfruits are a waste, but they definitely look cool. The guavas here are nothing like the ones in the Americas, these were hard as apples and less intense in flavour. We were too full to try the papaya by the end, but we're all familiar with it.



Another foodcourt adventure... this time I had a really good BBQ fish.
