Golden Grapefruit by Edwin L. WisherdBreadfruitPapayas
With grapefruits and papayas, I am familiar. But breadfruit? Never heard of it, never seen it, never scrolled past it on a menu. Evidently, you can roast and fry it. Have any of you ever tasted breadfruit?
Nice looking grapefruit. I have had breadfruit before. Not sure where. Probably some place in the Caribbean. It tastes a lot like potatoes. More ripe they do taste like a slightly sweet roll.
Potatoes, huh? I guess it makes as much sense to call it “breadfruit” as it does to call a thing “grapefruit” that has no grapes. And don’t get me started on pineapple. Have you ever eaten the stinky durian fruit?
No. I have always wanted to try as many different food as possible but I drew the line at Durian. I actually made an attempt once but the smell drove me away. It was the most horrendous stink. How could anything smell that bad I have no idea.
Had a breadfruit tree in our yard in Hawaii. We never ate much so we had a deal with our Samoan friends that they could have all the breadfruit in return for pruning the tree each year.
Today’s trivia: in Hawaiian, breadfruit is ‘ulu, ‘Ulu is a staple food item of the South Pacific, has lots of legends surrounding it and even today ‘ulu tree is still often planted when a child is born to ensure a lifetime of nourishment.
Well, there are always those mystery fruits in the store that most people walk past so I can’t be sure. If it takes a machete to break it open, then I don’t even try.

Is it weird that my very first thought when I saw that first picture was, “My gosh give that tree some relief! It’s got too much fruit on it!”

That sounds like a fair trade. Thanks for the trivia! I obviously had never heard of the ulu.

I suspect they are scarce in the greater Austin area.
