No one? If you think this is the point where I tell you what the mystery fruit is, you're out of luck. I have absolutely no idea. It was a fruit unlike anything I had ever seen. The strange, red peel popped off to reveal what looked like a large, skinless grape. I tried to cut into it because I wasn't going to pop that thing in my mouth without knowing what the center looked like. It was pretty tough to get through with the butter knife. Once I got through, I saw that there was a nut of some sort in the middle. But I tried it anyway. It had a very interesting flavor. I can't even begin to describe it. I don't know if I'll eat it again or not. But it was an adventure.
I asked one of the graduate students who is from India about the fruit. She said:
