βThoughts: This fruit STUNK. Someone recommended that I put it in the fridge overnight and then try it the next day. This fruit stunk up my entire room and refrigerator, but I was determined to try it. It definitely has a distinct and potent smell but if you can get past the smell, it wasn't too terrible. It definitely isn't my favorite fruit, but it wasn't the worst fruit either. It was so expensive that I don't think I'll be purchasing it again. I also struggled to get past the fact that it looked like a chicken breast.β
βThe first words that I said while eating the next fruit were, βOh no.β It was dragon fruit. This is a more exotic fruit and had an acidic yet musty taste. I thought I was going to throw up. My eyes began watering and I gagged. I could not chew the dragon fruit at all. Jessieβs mom even asked if Jessie was torturing me. The taste was so agonizing that I spit it out. On my grave it will say, βI will never try this fruit again.β 1 out of 10.β
βThoughts: It's a bit intimidating. You must open the shell and peel out the fruit. There is a large pit in the middle which made it challenging to eat. In my opinion, it was a bit flavorless. I don't know if it was flavorless because it's not in season or if I don't know how to pick out a good one. The texture was a bit like a grape.β
