Default What exotic fruits do you recommend trying?

Aside from the other suggestions, try guava and mangosteen. They both
have a refreshing sweet-and-sour flavor. Both are hard to find fresh
but the nectars and juices made from them (which you can readily find
as pop cans in Asian markets) well represent their flavor.

And if you think you're gamer than most westerners, then try durian --
or durian flavored ice cream if you're not used to the mushy custard-
like texture. It was very amusing to me to see that that fat guy on
the food network who will eat any strange food all over the world
couldn't eat this -- he failed the gourman litmus test with me, the
wimp. But I was raised on the stuff and love it.
