Silly but serious question

As far as I can remember, I've never tasted one. Could someone give an idea of the flavor, as difficult as that can be in words? (I don't find durian terrible, but I know how hard that would be to describe) Howard C. Berkowitz 23:26, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

They are inedible uncooked. Something like a very bad version of a cooking apple -- very tart, crisp but with a pleasant aroma. I will write some more about this aspect, and two ancient recipes that I use -- one for a meat dish and the other for a dessert Martin Baldwin-Edwards 23:36, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Perhaps the local equivalent, in some respect, is the cranberry, which is generally too hard, raw, to eat. For most people, it is also too sour. Howard C. Berkowitz 23:47, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
