In Spain we loved to eat chirimoya. Little did we know that the word itself is the „Quechua“ language. The language of the Inka, nowadays Perú - where we now live :D
Chiri means „fresh/cool/cold“ and Moya, in some Quechua dialects means „meal“ :)
The best Chirimoyas are those who have yellow color in between the green skin or lighter green in general.. They are super sweet and creamy.

Cool! I've never heard about it!
@blueskiesdrifter :D ohh you mean the fruit itself or what I write about it?
My husband and I up and left Canada over a year ago and moved to Mexico where I see this fruit all over the place! My first experience though was walking, not paying attention, and stepping on one that had fallen from the tree and was completely mushy; it squished over my flip-flops and around my toes .... ewwww I couldn't eat one for a while haha
@lynncoyle1 Hahaha :D Oh no!! And later? Did you try one? :D
Oh yes!! Disgusting :) But later I did try one and really loved it :)
