Zombie Fruit

 We have a new favorite fruit here in Ecuador. Most people call it a Granadilla, but according to us it is the zombie fruit. Why zombie fruit? Because if zombies were to eat any type of fruit this would be it. The texture is slimey and what we would consider to be similar to brains, but the flavor is delicious and it is fun to eat. Innitially you puncture a circle with your fingernails so that you take off about 1/4 of the top of the outer casing and then the bottom 3/4 of the round outer shell holds the inner seeds and fruity deliciousness. You can use a spoon if you want or, in true zombie style, put the fruit to your mouth and slurp out all the yummy insides...
