A Kiwano (Or How I Learned My Lesson Once Again That Local Foods Taste Better)
My Aunt and I got this Kiwano at the store because it was so pretty and strange looking. We sliced it open, after we had several bites we looked up more information about it online because we both felt like we were missing something (it tasted like the seeds of a very large cucumber and that's all). That is when I found this: http://www.wikihow.com/Eat-a-Kiwano-(Horned-Melon)
I'd never seen this site before, but really enjoyed the detail with which it described how to eat this strange fruit. My favorite part was under "tips":
You can suck up a few sacs at a time, storing them in your cheeks. You can also do this after removing the seeds, and chew on a larger mass of fruit sacs.
"cheeks" was highlighted, so I clicked on it. It took me to another wikihow, this time about how to make cheeks naturally rosier. (Two methods: slicing in half a strawberry and applying that to your face, or the classic pinching method-- I remember that one well).
The internet.
