Granadilla

The other day I went to the market with my host family and my host dad was quizzing my Spanish by asking me the names of all the fruits they had there. I was doing pretty well until we got to the fruit featured in the picture below. I had no idea what this fruit was called in English, and when I told my host dad I had never tried it, he bought me one. I had no idea how to eat it. My host sisters thought it was hilarious when I went to bite into it without peeling it first... Oops! Once I partially peeled it, I was so shocked at what the inside was like. It was so different than most fruits we have back home. The only thing I could think to compare it to was a pomegranate, but it was still so different!! You take a bite into the middle part and the little things pop in your mouth and juice comes out!! But then you eat the seeds too.. And they have the texture of like, black watermelon seeds. It was so strange for me, but it was pretty good!
