Flirty Fruit Guy


The flirty fruit man on 34th and Park, along with giving me a good deal on the usual stone fruits and bananas, gives me more interesting free things, like guinep, above left, a fruit from Jamaica, and the lychee on the right.  The lychee was the most delicious one I'd ever eaten - sweet, with a hint of tart grapefruit, super juicy and perfectly ripe.


The guinep was something else entirely.  The flirty fruit guy explained I should "Put it in your mouth and bite skin and suck and spit pit" to eat it. Um...OK...  The flavor was good but there was a definite textural thing going on...
