Tropical Doesn't Always Mean Better

Jeremiah is the king of experimenting with food. Not only does he like to create his own cuisine (he has officially started his own recipe book), but he also likes to try exotic fruits that catch his eye in the grocery store. He's brought home a number of tropical items, most recently papaya. Have you ever tried papaya?
Don't. It's pretty terrible. The seeds remind me of dark fish eggs and apparently can be a peppercorn substitute. What?? And the fruit itself is far from refreshing or even tasteful. As with most of these rare fruits, there is hardly any flavor even when doused in sugar.
Hopefully we just saved you a few bucks and some disappointed taste buds.

Papaya tastes like barf! I had it in Mexico and it is nasty.
