We ate fruit constantly. Somebody was always bringing a bag of fruit to the house. And pretty much every fruit was some bizarre looking thing I'd never seen or tasted before. Even the bananas were totally different. Tiny little finger sized bananas that were really sweet and Jackie's mom would throw them in a steamer. That was tasty too.
Starfruit we just picked off a tree.
This is dragonfruit. We drove through a region that must have been the dragonfruit growning capital of the world. It went on for miles and miles. Craziest looking cactus-like Sideshow Bob looking trees with these big spiky pink fruit hanging off them. Wild!
Jackfruit being cleaned. This is a real delicacy. Sometimes really soft ripe and stinky, but sweet and creamy.
These jackfruit were not so soft and not so stinky and scary.
Dragonfruit in the front. The green ones on the other side, I never found out the name of but they were strange and very sweet and tasty and everybody's favorite.
Don't know what these are called but they were fun and yummy. You just popped the skin open and inside was a fruit very much like a lychee with a big seed, but not as sweet.
The house was always filled with the stench of durian, the favorite of the house. I did finally eat some an it was not horrible if you sort of plugged your nose.
