Salak

Did I mention unusual foods recently? Here’s something I bought today:

Salak, snake fruit

Mine looks a bit different than the googleable ones, I reckon it’s a different variety. It has both snake optics & haptics. Two almond-sized seeds inside are surrounded by a bit of flesh.

The flesh/stone ratio is similar to that of a lychee - so there’s not much for the price. In texture it’s like a mango, smells bubblegumy and is a bit acidic in taste. Nothing very fascinating, although I made them disappear too quickly to be very scientific, so maybe I missed something.
