Yes yes, we all know the greeks, but the real question is the BANNANA.

I find it's yellowish skin to be quite unique in the fruit world. I mean, what else is yellow? the Grapefruit? Isn't that a bit redundant? I mean, we already have GRAPES, which are allready fruits.

And grapefruit don't even TASTE like grapes. They're like sour oranges.

Oh sure, you have lemons, but they have those little nubs on the end.

Truely, the bannana is a miracle.

How about the kiwano melon? Now *that* is an interesting and unique fruit. I always wanted to buy one.

The kiwano melon you say? Why, I have never heard of this strange and exotic entery into the vast lexicon of edible plant materials.

Plese tell me more.

A quick "googling" reveals all sorts of interesting and unique fruits.

(I love the recipe for melon with melon sauce.

What a FASCINATINGLY shaped fruit.

However, unlike the Bannana, it appears to have a green pulp to it. So I believe the Bannana is STILL quite unique in the fact that it is indeed yellow through and through.

Unless of course it's green or brown...at which point it would not be yellow.

Lay off the coffee, ABH.

Scary part is, I'm not on any drugs.

Attention is the worst kind of drug.

Attention, coffee, or kiwano melons?

Perhaps Durian?

though I wouldn't suggest putting that anywhere in a person... nor eating it.... in fact, I wouldn't even recomend smelling it.

or jack fruit?

(at least it smells better than Durian)

My dad loves durian. Oh god, the smell......
Whenever he tried to get me to eat it, I refused and he claimed my mom trained me to hate it. But really it's the smell of rotting meat that puts me off. Prolly tastes good for all I know.

One of the hotels I was at in Thailand had a sign with a picture of a durian, and it had an "X" over it.

Hah ha! "No eating durian while in this building!"

You intrigued me to try it one day. Though I guess I'd have to sacrifice my social life for a day or two after that.

Ha ha! Yeah, they want to keep as many tourists as possible, so they can't have that smell bothering people.
I should try some too, now that I think of it.

I personally find it to taste worse than it smells. my host dad loves the stuff.

Well, according to your descriptions it certainly fits under the description of ripe.
