Trying to ascertain what you all want to see right now is rather difficult on this 18th day of January. So I thought I would try some exotic fruit click bait. Tell me in the comments if it worked or not, please, pretty please with sugar on top.

A large number of you are making a valiant effort to eat healthy / healthier and my sweets posts are probably a little agitating, sorry about that. On the other hand, you will have to acknowledge, that there's a lot of us out there that are attracted by that thumbnail. That first pic, the one that becomes your banner for the community to see is pretty darn important. And let's not forget the chocoholics out there, they're really almost choco-zombies. Chocolate posts are almost always my best 'performing' posts.

In other words, I have tried to be all things to all people. Sometimes I post healthier ideas, sometimes fun, sometimes easy and then sometimes just pure pleasure to they eye. That's really my goal, is to please your eye. I don't intend for those working so hard to obstain from sweets, and the like, to be tempted to fail, I apologize if that is the case. I am always attempting to please my audience.

Ok, enough of that. So today we have an exoctic fruit. I have had people tell me to post images of Patagonia, (which I have in the past, by the way). So I thought something interesting would be to do a post about an exotic fruit. This will certainly be eye appealing and cater to those working so hard.

You may be asking, "What the hell is that?!" If you are, you're not alone. Here in Patagonia, it is referred to as 'Kiwano.' In other parts of the world it know as the African horned cucumber, jelly melon, blowfish fruit, and many other names.

It is actually a melon, believe it or not.

Since moving here to Southern Chile, Ive come across many new fruits and veggies. Some good, some bad, and some just plain weird. My dad likes to bring home obscure items that no one has a clue about and give them to me to figure out what they are. Plus he thinks it adds variety to my blog.

These spiky yellowish orange things are the latest addition to our list of discoveries.

I have had some bad experiences when just diving in on these new discoveries. So, I’ve learned my lesson, you must first do a little research first. Take my word for it, as my Dad says, "Measure twice, cut once." After some time on internet, I found out what they were. They are said to taste like a love child of zucchini, cucumber, kiwi, and lime. I would have to agree with that. I also read that they appeared in a Star Trek episode.

Most of you won't have access to these, I know. So, just enjoy the photos and imagine what it is like during the summer here in Patagonia.

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.
