Three on Thursday, Week 12: Rambutans
Lately, Soren and I have been noticing the unusual fruits at the grocery store. We tried a starfruit a few weeks ago, a horned melon (which turned out to be a cucumber in a very cool presentation), and this week we spotted rambutans. And while Peter and I love rambutans after eating them all over south Asia, I must say that paying $11.99/lb for them is kind of painful.
But since Soren was so gung ho about trying them, and they didn't weigh much I picked up two. They sure are fun to peel.
The first little taste, where I was expecting the huge brimming smile.
Or not. Turns out that our rambutans were slightly fermented. Sigh.
Oh well, the adventurous spirit lives. Next I need to figure out what to do with those cactus like fruits (?) that are sometimes available. We want to try those next.

Wow...I have never seen or heard of Rambutans. What do they taste like? (When not fermented of course!)
