Obscure fruits?

What kind of uncommon fruits have you had?

Well, there was that guy outside the grocery store...

Seemed appropriate.

An Obscuit.

Durian, I win.

I had Mangosteen juice once. Never had the fruit itself though. From what I understand, it doesn't travel well.

A durian, and a litchi. Liked the latter, disliked the former.

Oh geez, what did you do with it? Where did you keep it? Those things smell terrible and it permeates wherever you leave them.

Why the fuck would you eat that shit? I cracked one open once and thought it had gone rotten. Turned out thats just how they are.

Umm, Blood Orange. Think its a hybrid fruit. Tastes like fruit punch and looks like an orange but its red on the inside.

@jewunit: @Atramentous: Once you get pass the smell, its not that bad! I just keep them in the fridge. I love making Durian smoothies and milkshakes, those are really good if you know how to make them correctly.

I had a bad experience with durian-flavored wafers. My girlfriend bought some at the local Korean market and she didn't like the taste. I thought they were alright, so we kept them in the car when we went to dinner. When we came back, the car was enveloped in the sweaty gym shoe-like smell of durian. Needless to say, we had to drive home with the windows down. It took two weeks and a strong air freshener to get the smell out of the car.

I had some litchi nuts a few months ago. They tasted like flowers...not a fan of eating flowers. They're purdy.

A grapple, its an apple that tastes like a grape.

Star fruit, had the opportunity to try durian but I passed.

Durian, when I lived in Singapore.

My neighbour's are pretty obscure fruits.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR COLLOQUIAL PHRASES NOW? YOUR WORLD IS CRASHING AROUND YOU. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Um, dragon fruit, star fruit, and blood orange. Those are weird solid/fresh. I'll take their flavors in drink form since they were weird.

Weirdest thing I've ever eaten is Longan Fruit . I was hanging out with a friend once and she had a bag of them that she was just nomming on and told me to try one. It was the worst thing ever. Tasted like some kind of rancid medicine. Steer clear of longan fruit.

Pomelo. I love picking ever single cell off a piece making one slice last for ages.

Seen them but never had one. I've heard people say they taste like semen, so I'm passing.

I've had dragon fruit which is overrated. I have a theory that most obscure fruits are obscure because they aren't as distinctive and delicious as the contemporary common fruits. They just sort of taste like sugary water with different textures and different levels of acidity or earthiness.

An apple

Ranbutan, Cashew Apples, Dragon fruit / Pitaya, Durian, Mangosteen, Wood Apple, Jackfruit, Bael fruit.

Definitely going for Persimmon and Pomergranite (if that counts). Staying away from the Durian, though! @___@

Sorry, I'm not a hipster, so I'm not too aware of openly-homosexual obscure indie groups
