While shopping in the produce section of Carrefour today I saw this beautiful fruit. "How pretty!" I exclaimed. "I think we need to try this." I chose the prettiest one and put it in our cart along with the more mundane fruit and vegetables we had selected.
The label on the package said "Dragon Fruit"
but I had no idea what that meant. I guess it's not a common fruit in
Egypt because the sight of it caused the lady in line behind me to
inquire about it. I told her that I chose the fruit purely because of
its loveliness. Her daughter said it reminded her of Barney because of
the color but Barney is also a dragon so it was fitting.
I could hardly wait to get home and try the Dragon Fruit. Back at the apartment I washed it and sliced it in half. We just used a spoon and scooped the flesh right out of the skin. The anticipation was better than the flavor. It was sweetly bland and reminiscent of a kiwi but a fun thing to try nonetheless.
