Let me introduce you to a new fruit we just tried - the bell fruit (one website told me the pinyin for this fruit is lián wù). With many different names depending on what country you are in, wax apple seems to be the most common name, however it doesn't taste much like an apple. The inside is white and pretty juicy though still firm. In the center is a small seed surrounded by cotton candy looking fluff (I cut that part out because the texture weirds me out). If you run across one I recommend you try it. I cut it in quarters, remove the fluff and eat. Delicious.
I love bell fruit! I had it my first day in Taiwan. So yum! Have you tried a custard apple yet? They're super weird but pretty delicious.
