Friday afternoon trip to Grand Frais to order the Gigot d'agneau for Easter Sunday lunch, and my eye catches the amazing selection of fruits they have on display.
So many exotic choices, and I've not tried many of them before - opportunity to complete another challenge!
I picked up Salak (or snake fruit), Mangosteen and Red dragon fruit.
I've eaten Dragon fruit before, but not the Red variety, so in my books this counts 😆
Elevenses Saturday morning, and we gather in teams to prepare and score the three fruits, me and J, and E & P.
Results:
3rd Place
Salak: Taste 5/10, Look 6/10 (I love the shiny Brown pip), Texture 5/10 (crunch but not too juicy), Smell 3/10 Overall score 19
2nd Place
Mangosteen: Taste 9/10 (really delicious), Look 2/10 (reminded us of the larva we find in the garden), Texture 8/10 (soft & juicy), Smell 1 (no discernable smell) Overall score 20
Winner!
Red Dragon Fruit: Taste 8/10, Look 10/10 (the colour was so rich and luxurious), Texture 7/10 (soft & easy to swallow), Smell 2/10 Overall score 27
Summary
A really fun, and relatively inexpensive way to engage with the family, try new things, broaden our horizons and fill our tummies with something healthy. A good challenge, and one I would repeat with the family or even as a larger group (dinner/brunch guests, birthday party etc).
