And this last one is truly the star of the show, because what you cannot see in this picture is the really terrifying nature of this "fruit". The thing is at least twice the size of your average watermelon and all those little spiky thing are SHARP! Who would eat a fruit that looks like it is only a few short steps away from mutating into a malignant life form???!!!

Wow. I have never.Ever. Seen some of those. Very odd.
Rambutan is WONDERFUL just plain, raw...you open it up, and it tastes a little like those white round fruits you get in Chinese Buffets. Very mild and sweet. Excellent texture. Oh, also.....you can forage for them for point. ;)
Susi, haha. I know. I thought the exact same thing when I saw them-- I could hear the chimes...
Um, scary! I always wondered what tamarind was. Not that I know, even now. :)
I taught with a woman from the Philippines and she would bring tamarinds into school for a snack or as part of her lunch. She let me try it once, and it tastes a lot like a date. You crack it open and eat around the viney pieces. It's chewy and sweet. It's not bad, but it's not my favorite.
I had tamarind in India. We saved the shiny seeds to make jewelry. :)
