Wow, thanks!

That's it!

Have you tried it before? How does it taste?

Sho thang :)

Not that I recall.  I guess I always thought it was a type of Asian cuke or melon, perhaps bitter.  But that link says it could (if properly ripe) have a mild sweet flavor.  Maybe I'll simple one sometime.  If and when you do, let us know, aight?

Hmm...I searched "pepino" on the forum and it seems that quite a lot of people has asked about this obscure fruit. The ones I see at the grocery store were a bit unripe. I'll hold it off until I get to the tropics. Same reason I haven't had a durian in years. :P
