Enter The Dragon (the fruit, not my girlfriend)
Look at this freaky looking fruit. It’s a pitaya, it grows in Mexico they changed its name to dragon fruit to try and boost sales…and to be honest it’s the only reason I bought it. I still can’t taste anything but it has the consistency of a kiwi and it looks cool. Eliza said it tasted like the smell of leaves which makes no sense what so ever, and I’ve eaten it!

Ooh, maybe I could feed some to my Madagascar Dragon Tree, or would that be some kind of cannabalism?

It’s an awful fruit, I bought it due to the lovely colour an shape. It made me weep.
For another disappointing fruit, try Star Fruit. Looks great, taste like Brut.

[...] Another lazy weekend of cheapness and movie watching…Awesome. This little furry creature is a rambutan. Again another purchase of fruit made entirely on looks. After my Dragon Fruit incident you thought I might have learnt from my mistakes…but no. Much to my surprise this was actually nice. Once you had cut it open it was like a really sweet lychee…pretty much the same actually it had a big almond shaped nut in it as well. Much more enjoyable than the dragonfruit and in my opinion they look alot more fun also. Big Tick for Rambutan…with a low risk fruitability rating! [...]
