Wednesday Word: Cherimoya

[calzephyr]

Cherimoya - noun.

Sometimes it feels like North Americans are at a disadvantage with what we find in the grocery store. A literal world of culinary delights awaits...just not within our reach :-D Today's interesting word and fruit is the cherimoya, which is related to a previous Wednesday word, soursop. It's also the name of the tree that bears the fruit, which is found in Central and South America.

I think I am the only person ever who doesn't like these; I find the texture the wrong kind of slippery. Which leaves more for my fellow Jamaicans, who adore them.

Yeah! That's the thing about fruit--each piece can be wildly different too!
