Wax Apples
Wow! Those weird looking red things are delicious. When I was at the grocery store last night with Ali and Nikki I was wandering around the produce aisles (we were looking for lychee), and I saw these things and asked what they're called. Nikki told me they're called "Wax Apples" (or Syzygium samarangense for short) and she bought a bag of them. I've just been on the computer the whole day but she cut some up for Johan and I. So good! I'm trying to figure out how to explain it. It tastes like an apple but with some pear flavour highlights when you first bite into it, but the texture is not as dense as a regular apple or pear. It's sort of in between the density of a watermelon and an apple. It's like a very juicy apple with watermelon density while still maintaining an apples crunchiness with a hint of pear flavour, and it's not messy like a watermelon. I wish we had these in Canada. I'll have to check the T&T when I get back :)
