Okay, so this is very exciting. I have a new fruit. This is a Tamarillo!
I got it at a, um, supermarket in Malaysia
that has a lot of import things - I do not think this is something that really grows here,
from what I know it's a... South American kind of fruit?
I think that's where you find these?
Obviously, I haven't looked this up before making this video, but I'm pretty sure it's not from the region here,
but I'm excited to have it.
I got this one and this one.
These are...
both about three US dollars each, which I'm sure is very very expensive.
Not sure exactly what to do with it, but I'm gonna cut it open
From what I know I think they are similar to tomatoes?
They kind of like have a tomato look to them.
Hmm, okay...
This is a wedge of it.
It actually kind of looks like
the inside of like a prickly pear or a red guava.
The smell is, um... it's very sweet.
It's like familiar. It doesn't smell like tomatoes.
It kind of like smells a little bit like guava. A little bit, not very strong though.
It's more between like a guava and...
almost like peach-like. It's very strange. Oh, let me try it!
Wow, this is really strange. It tastes like um...
a lot of different things.
There is a tomato taste. It's definitely tomato taste there...
There is like um,
What is that?
But there's a guava taste
It's like if you took guava and tomato and mixed it...? Is there any other fruit in the world like that?
Probably not, this is very strange.
I actually kind of like it. It's good.
I'm not sure if I can eat the skin...
so I'm gonna do it anyway.
Don't eat the skin. -cough-
The skin is very bitter and... bad, ugh.
But I think like the best bit is just like this gelatinous area around the seeds.
Yeah, I'm gonna put my vote with tomato and guava mix which is very strange, but yeah!
This is the Tamarillo, and...
I approve of this fruit.
I can't see eating like a whole bunch of these or anything but to like, just tasting it now,
it's like... it's pretty tasty at home. Yeah, I would eat it again. I like it.
So if you have the chance where you see this at a store, I'd get it.
Right that's it! Tamarillos. Hooray, one more fruit down in my fruit mission.
