Thai Fruit: Dragonfruit



With a name like dragonfruit, how could you go wrong? Holy crap, it’s hot pink with what appear to be solidified neon green flames coming off of it! This has to be the coolest fruit ever.

Inside, either white or violet with tiny black seeds, similar to those in a kiwi. Delight. Excitement. Anticipation at what this wondrous fruit of dragons will taste like.

Oh…

 It tastes like nothing. It’s the texture of kiwi, but without any flavor.  Just the color white with seeds. I feel lied to. Betrayed. Dragonfruit? With a name like that it should taste rich, sweet, tangy, like fruit made from tropical fire. How can something with such potential fall so short?
