Exploring markets

J Liberetti writes in General

I've been exploring markets in various areas and having a wonderful time! Have stumbled upon some fruit I can't name and didn't have any way to take a photo. The fruit is green and almost looks like and artichoke. Any ideas with my very bad description?

Sounds like a custard apple to me. They are wonderful and I hope you buy one next time!

I bought one and have been holding it for 2 days! How do I peel it and eat it?

Chirimoia?

Atemóia?

Fruta do conde?

Jaca?

figo da India?

Try to find pics of these and tell me if I got at least close to it.

Your first guess is correct - Chirimoia. Delicious but different! I understand that these are very healthy to eat.

My OH loves Chirimoias and would eat one everyday. The markets here are amazing with the types of fruit and vegetables. Going on different days is something I've come to enjoy here.
