The no-name fruit

We handed over two wells in schools on Thursday. (pictures later) Once again we were showered with produce from the community: pineapple, papaya, avocado, mango, guava, sugar cane, cassava, sweet potato and pumpkin. Plus two new fruits to us. One is dark purple and  small, like a black olive with a large pit. It is sweet but dries the mouth at the end. Interesting if eaten with something else. The real mystery fruit is large and soft, like a floppy puppy except it has a firm. prickly skin. Inside it looks a bit like a pineapple except the flesh is dry and fairly tasteless. Nestled. all along the sides are dark patches of soft, sweet fruit each holding a large seed.
