    In Costa Rica, we call this cohombro. It's common to leave it out to perfume a home OR blend it with water to make juice OR cook it with tapa (like raw sugar molasses) to candy it.
    Edited to add: I don't think yours was ripe enough.

    Never seen this in my life. Born and raised in Brazil, almost 30 years. Never heard people talking about it anywhere and I know we have A LOT of fruits, but this one is news. Showed this to my friends who live in Amazonas (a estate within the amazon forest) and they also never heard of it. Must be those fruits only natives know about, like those natives living in their communities. Interesting big hotdog 😂

    I have a sudden memory of seeing seeds for this when I was young, for sale in a catalog of rare, unusual, or heirloom seeds. It was sold along seeds for Queen Anne’s Pocket Melon which was supposedly inedible but smelled so good that people in the 1800s carried them around for, well, perfume!

    You should try tree tomatoes (aka tamarillo) - they're one of my favorite fruits. I tried them while I was visiting Kenya. They're delicious and so fun to eat! You can cut them in half and scoop out the insides to eat or you can bite off the tip and squeeze the insides right into your mouth like a gogurt/gogo squeeze.

    Have you tried Lonicera caerulea? It's called "blåbärstry" in Sweden, but has lots of other names: Haskap, honeyberry, blue-berried honeysuckle.... There are lots of named versions that taste quite different and are divided into "canadian", "polish" and "russian" depending on where they were first grown (the different gruops bloom at different times and you need at lest two in the same group to get berries). We got some as a house warming gift (from the first grower in Sweden!) and for a long time, I didn't think they got any fruit and then I realized that they bloom (tiny blooms!) before setting leaves and the fruit is ready already in may (which the birds realized way before me)
