The world's weirdest fruits

Missed one. Here’s a fruit I experienced in Costa Rica that’s like no other. You can heat it up (the yellow pulp surrounding the black seed) in a skillet, and it tastes like scrambled eggs and cheese. From another aficionado:

In Spanish they are called ceso vegetal (vegetable brain) and taste like scrambled eggs w/ cheese. They have some kind of mushroomy meaty thing going on that I just cant get enough of. The fruit is deadly poisonous if it is eaten before it opens on its own.

I can’t post a picture, since I’m a new user, but search for Ackee.

Just when you think you’ve seen everything…
