I thought things like this died off in the mesozoic era. If anyone of you minored in botany and knows what this is, let me know. These things were stacked in a bin at the entrance of a fruit stand. For reference, the are approximately the size of an average watermelon, not the tiny ones that are mostly rind or those huge ones that are hauled into the state fair in the back of an F150.
The pile of mystery fruit was vigilantly guarded by two attendants who postured as if they were protecting a national treasure; which these things may well be. If they would have come to grips with the unlikeliness that anyone would be so bold (and masochistic) as to snag one, stash it down their pants, and take off running, maybe they would have cracked a smile for the camera and made it on this blog...their loss.

Well for starters I think I am going to have to log on to your page often because your writings make me smile and giggle a little.
Thanks for your testimonial. I feel for the apples of the world, if they only knew their fate. I can't wait to put it on our website.
If you haven't already figured out what the spiny so-called fruit on your front page is, I have tasted it. Lets just say it's most definitely an acquired taste. It falls somewhere between a fish having a baby with some moldy cheese as they were rolling around in a smoldering fire pit. Now if that doesn't make you want to try it I don't know what would... Durian fruit.
