A Tropical Fruit lesson

As mentioned we have had access to the club lounge where we have enjoyed a light breakfast and dinner each day.  Over the weekend a delightful young man, named Joseph, has served us each time.  This morning he gave us a tropical fruit lesson.  Each of the fruits are very different but very sweet.  Below are some photos.

The inside of the fruit is soft and fleshy with edible seeds.

Bill ShaneyfeltLooks a lot like passionfruit. Could be a local name?

On the plate are 3 fruits. A Grandilla, a Rambutan Mamon (aka a furry strawberry) and a Jocote.

A Rambutam Mamon usually just called a Mamon. The central fruit has a pit not unlike a plum.
