This whole description reads like Penthouse story time!

I swear I am innocent! They have a protective outer skin that's weird though, AFTER you get the peel off, its like a thin latex sensation.

Ive had those tiny bananas.. We dont get much tropical fruit round here... Ive had star fruit too.. Thats about as weird as it gets in nebraska...

You have to highlight the word you want linked (or link address) click the little chain links on the tool bar . It will pop open a window for you to insert the url into to make the link live.

Remember the good ole days when we just wrote the url and it was live??? LOL

I never cared for those... they always get so squishy so quick... I like my bananas a bit stiffer.

They are good for frying with eggs in the morning ....

They were fun for the kids when they were younger, I find them to sweet and ripen to fast, but then i have a heck of a time keeping regular bananas from ripining to fast... I need them a bit green or I cant eat them

They do ripen too quick. They tend to get black spot too while in the market, no shelf life at all.

with tears in my eyes you guys on this thread are soooooooooo wrong!

Oh yessss.... you already know... I knew you would!

I wonder if we should start a thread devoted to new/rare foods people should try.

Haven't had them since childhood, but I loved them back then. I don't think I have ever seen them in this area.

This deserves a Pulitzer...

i've never even heard of these before! i MUST find some!

we just bought some. we used to have them floating in a big bowl of water in the fridge when I was a kid. I would pick and snack on them all day, and before you knew it, they were gonzo.

They're slimy, but they taste sweet and tart...really good IMO.

tinaz said:

LMAO! I cant even IMAGINE touching it let alone putting it anywhere NEAR my mouth! WTF is it??

OH, and it's not just a slimy ball, it's kinda...hairy.

I put alot of stuff in my mouth, but this ain't gon' be one of 'em.
