A
strange, creamy fruit. In fact it
almost tastes like nothing. Except
it doesn't quite taste like nothing.
There's a 'subtle' eggy/creamy/nutty
flavour. This isn't necessarily always
a bad thing, but for a 'fruit', it's
probably not advised. Anyway, if not
for the taste, you might want to try
it for its novelty. Just don't expect
to enjoy it much.
Red
currant
If
there had to be a fruit that tasted
like a cross between a typical citrus
fruit and a poisonous plant - then
this would be it. Not really meant
to be eaten in its own right, it's
usually used for contrast in puddings
etc., but as this article rates each
fruit stand-alone, then this will
score fairly low. Cherries look the
same, but are much bigger and tastier;
eat those instead.
Pawpaw
'Paw'
by name - poor by nature. It is in
fact even more boring than a watermelon
if that's possible. Suffering from
the same problems that plague other
fruit, it basically tastes... a bit
like a vegetable. I can't quite pin
it down, but maybe something like
cucumber or tomato.
Tamarillo
Also
known as the "tree tomato",
and tasting everything like how a
tomato shouldn't. OK, well all being
fair, there's a 'unique' umm... bitter
mango (?) flavour. Like the tomato,
it's probably best served with other
food, but otherwise - generally best
avoided.
Banana
Right,
I know I said how each fruit would
be assumed to be the best of its kind,
but I'm going to make an exception
here. This is not the same banana
as the 'green' banana (you'll see
that one separately and much higher
ranked). Nope - this one's overripe,
and sure as heck it lets you know
it. On a side note, I've noticed that
all products claiming to be 'banana'
flavour always imitate the dull overripe
yellow/brown banana, instead of the
'green' one.
Guava
Firstly,
the version under test is the lime
green/yellow version with pinkish
flesh inside. There's also a version
with deep green skin and green/yellow
flesh too - which might very well
be tastier than this.
