New fruits


So I saw this fruit in the market the other day.

It looks like the zapote (damn, you probably don't know what that is either).

Anyway, it's called mamey and it's delicious.

You need a knife to cut through the skin and a tube of toothpaste nearby when pictures are taken. Mamey has a pretty big pit, but everything between the pit and the rind is edible. Its flavor reminds me of apricot.

Hi Ian,
We discovered the mamey in the fall. We're big fans of the Dakalb Farmer's Market (Atlanta) and we like to try new fruits. The mamey was one of our more successful adventures.
