I saw it while shopping in Tesco's the other day.

The colour caught my eye. Bright Pink skin, with pale green leaves.

I dint know what to expect when i cut it open.. Maybe some kind of mango? but it was white with black seeds with texture kinda like a kiwi.

Anyone else had this fruit?

Rogue Jedi
No, looks weird, sounds tasty. gimmee.

Yeah, I've had it. Really cool-looking, but kind of bland. Sort of like the horned melon/kiwano.

shiv

I've known dragon fruit was a flavor of shisha for a long time, but I just thought it was a stupid made-up name.

yeah i've tried them cause i used to work for tesco....we ordered them in...the flash is white with small black seeds....tastes very similar to kiwi fruit....very nice indeed....they do look amazing though

aint exactly cheap though...3 or 4 quid last i checked...

i've tried some weird exotic fruits in my time in tesco...we used to order them in knowing noone would buy them but just so we could try them laughing out loud

Admit it, when seeing this thread, your first though was 'Oriental Homosexual', which gave you plank.

yeah with something that looks like a dragon fruit you expect an intense flavour of some kind that just doesn't come...bit bland and watery but still nice

now passion fruit on the other hand

also...if you can find it..get jackfruit...the biggest fruit in the world...we got them in once for a laugh...they're bigger than water melons...

Badwolf
I think i'll just buy another one to make my fruit bowl look more exotic.

jackfruit??

Rogue Jedi
you suck. I crave fruit and you are flaunting it.

We have those growing in our backyard (I live in the Caribbean). They're called Chataigne here. They aren't meant to be eaten raw; I hope you know that. ermm And......they aren't bigger than watermelons. Unless you've only seen really small watermelons.. But I can tell you I've seen watermelons three to four times as big as 'jackfruit'.
