[dieselgirl01]

man i want a sapodilla so bad ughhhhhh I miss them, gosh so yummy.

[Necrowitch]

i ate a mamey sapote last week and it was awesome!! yeah it tasted like pumpkin pie and sweet potato =D

[abyssquick]

those mameys are malnourished- a lot of farmers are picking them underripe, plus they are prone to rancidity--

as for sapodilla flavors- it depends on the cultivar... the flavor varies from brown sugar to maple-syrup to a cinnamon-woody type flavor-- and any mixture of those tones.

if you get a chance, try the green sapotes (different from lucuma), and the canistel (egg fruit)-- sapotes which are very, very good in their own ways.

That video made me want to eat some Sapodillas. I got some growing here in Hawaii. The Mamey Sapotes are not in season right now.

Kevin! I like that song. It's Jon Secada. Anyhow, on to the question. Hmmm. When I visited Japan I never asked what I was eating because I didn't want to turn any offer down and I knew I would if I knew what I was eating . . . especially because I'm not a seafood fan. The only thing I did turn down was tofu topped with raw egg. lol!

i ate some ecstasy once without knowing what it really was....but it was all good----turned out to be something like pure MDMA and a little heroin. really awesome!

How about trying a few words in Spanish or bringing a Spanish dictionary along for cross-cultural connection? :-)

I haven't seen your other farmers market uTubes yet so I don't know if you always cut out the people involved and just film the food? I'd love to learn more, please do keep up the good work.

other than the faux pas racism i loved learning about new fruits thanks so much

What kind of diet is Matt's mom on? Nice video Kevin. I think you gotta go to the Dominican Republic for some real Mamey ;)

I once had a similar experience with rum balls one Christmas. They were mostly healthy ones with dates and carob etc but they had been soaked in rum and I thought they had been cooked and weren't alcoholic anymore. But they were raw... and very intoxicating!

[CrazyHealerLady]

"Pumpkin seeds, shrimp. Pumpkin seeds, shrimp." That cracked me up!! Sick that they're stacked like that... Foodsafe not applicable in that particular market??

Lychee berries are something that I tried and didn't know what they were. My reaction was: "It's... like an eyeball!"
