Spike and Mariano stopped by The Spro today with some freshly picked PawPaw in tow. Seems that PawPaw is an Appalachian fruit that no one actually sells and a fruit that Mariano and Luisa (his wife) have ventured into the wilds to pick themselves.
It's an interesting fruit that's mildly sweet with the texture of a ripe avocado but with lots of large seeds. It only comes around once a year and now's the time. The sweetness is very enjoyable - especially cold. The texture makes me wonder if there's some sort of guacamole-esque type of dish that can be made. Or perhaps PawPaw Ice Cream...
