Late to the game largely due to this fruit, which I’ll be tweeting about, since I’m on the bus on my way to the sports bar.

These fruits are hard to find. I’ve never seen them in a US market and I know people purposefully plant them for themselves and friends.

So my neighbor and I are up in the tree; a man pulls up in a truck and asks to buy some. Lol. He’s from Honduras says they’re called guama.

I call them inga. They’re also called paternas. And pepeto. And now guama. What do you call this fruit?pic.twitter.com/ToliHOWP3M

You open them and inside are these fluffy puffs that are like cotton candy. Sweet and melt in your mouth. Delicious. (This one’s overripe.)pic.twitter.com/DnFKOLhASn

There’s a black/brown/green bean inside each cottony fluff. Some people cook that down, others don’t. Do you?
