So that's what a passion fruit is like....

I've had passion fruit sorbet, and other things passion-fruit flavored, before. But until this evening I'd never actually had a passion fruit.

Thus, when I saw that Milk Pail Market had some in the exotic fruit section, I bought a couple. They're round smooth drab dark-purple-gray fruits, a bit smaller than a tennis ball, and these had a few small dents in them that looked sort of like dry spots or something. They seemed firm, about the texture of an apple, although not quite as dense.

When I was about to eat one this evening, I thought about doing a quick net-search to see what they were like and how one was supposed to eat them, but then I thought that would spoil the surprise. I'm glad I did.

( If you haven't seen what a passion fruit is like before, and you like tasty surprises, go find a passion fruit and eat it before reading this! It's well worth it. )

It tasted amazing, like the passion-fruit flavor I was expecting but incredibly intense and delicious. Yum!
