RE: You say papaya, I say pawpaw: Fruit as Natural Medicine

[walkerland]

I am so glad you are back to normal. I know how arduous the healing process can be for infections of that nature. I didn't know any of this about papaya so It was a great food medicine lesson!

I don't think I've met a fruit I didn't like and I certainly I like papaya, but it's too expensive. It's been years since I had one. I am currently stuffing as many blackberries into my body as I can possibly manage though.

oh my god who wouldn't - yum!! Okay, here's the challenge @walkerland - durian fruit!!!! Have you had it? I like most fruits too - papaya though is very 'meh' to me. And durian is another story entirely!

oh I've never had it. Living in Rural Canada I'm not likely to get the chance at it for a while. I like stinky cheese and my husband won't come near me when I snack on cheese n' onion crisps so ...

Anthony Bourdain, who actually enjoys eating the stinky fruit, colorfully describes the aftermath of eating it: ‘Your breath will smell as if you’d been French-kissing your dead grandmother’.

I'm in. If I can ever find some to try! You've had it? What did you think?

It tastes okay.. sweet.. but the smell just counteracts all of that!!!! Ha... love Bourdains description..
