    Jared, your reaction to the guy who yelled "Sapote!" at you...
    I haven't laughed that hard in weeks, and I'd just like to send a subtle nod and a casual yet hesitant wave your way.
    Thanks for making such a cool and unique channel.

    Also, I’m glad you enjoyed Colombia! 🇨🇴 and I’m so happy they behaved at the fruit market like you said. I don’t think the guards where giving you a stink eye. Maybe just concerned for your safety ! Colombians are very warm and hospitable. I hope you had a wonderful stay.

    The guy yelling Sapote at you😂I died with your reaction😂. LOVE sapotes they remind me of summers spent in Colombia on vacation. My grandfather bought them by the sack on the side of the roads up in the mountains in Medellin. Thanks for the trip down memory lane on the exotic fruit train. “Sapote!” 😂😂😂

    I'm from Colombia and its literally the first time I hear "chupa chupa" hahahahaha, I think someone made a joke to you about its name, in Colombia is know as "Zapote" and its soposed to be very juici, maybe yours was very dry, because a really good zapote drops the juice instantly you open it, similar to a mango.

    • @WeirdExplorer
      @WeirdExplorer  7 років тому +13

      Nope, chupa chupa is a common name for it, though I guess not in Colombia :) It didn't drip everywhere, but the flesh was juicy when I ate it.

    I ate that fruit just now... in Quebec city! I found an importer of Columbian fruits right next door, they just opened and they have very rare fruits! He called it a sapote, but it was a little different than the usual sapote so I came on your channel to check and found this! I'm going to support that little shop hard because they tend to close quickly. The fruits are damn expensive though, the Chupa chupa cost me 6$ and the mangosteen 2$

I live in Los Angeles California. if you know of any supermarket are place that will have exotic fruits it'd be nice to have it posted so people can try them out.

With all the time I spent on researching tropical and subtropical fruit growing I figured I would hear about more of these, but I’m constantly surprised by things I’ve never heard of before! Maybe it’s because I’m not actually out there traveling in the world and these are almost never grown in the US. Regardless, thanks for the by-proxy adventure!

      Hey Jen, its a combination of things. Before I go anywhere I look online for common fruits in the area, I also ask for suggestions from other fruit fanatics and growers. Also a number of things I just learn about from talking with other people and just researching fruit for the hell of it. But even with all that I will come across fruits I never seen and have to figure it out afterwards.
