On: Eating Thai Fruit Demands Serious Effort but Delivers Sublime Reward

[ndespres]

They are describing a fruit known in parts of the US as pawpaw and custard apple both. Never heard it called "sugar apple" but there are 2 different fruits known as custard apple so maybe you are thinking of a different one.

This is the one I meant: Annona squamosa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar-apple)

It's called custard apple in my country. We call papaya, pawpaw.

Any discussion of fruit needs to use their botanical names since they're called different things in different places.
