The other thing I have that I'm excited about - I've had this before in China - it's a snakefruit or um, I think it's a salak.
If you look at it, it's very scaly,
and it's got very... the skin is very thin and the fruit itself is very light for its size.
You'd think it'd be like kind of heavy, but it's um,
it's not.
I think it's 'cause they're not very juicy fruits. They're very dry, at least from what I remember.
I was in China over two years ago and had them there, but...
So you open up this -
as you see, it's like really really thin, it's like paper thin.
They're easy to peel, but you know because they come apart it's gonna take some time.
And it has three segments, that you can...
separate them until... and you can like hear, like, they're very dry.
-disgusted noise-
-evil laughter-
Not as pleasant as I remember, no.
Maybe I'll try another.
Okay, Snakefruit Part II. This is, um, very dissapointing.
I've bought four of these and as you saw with the first one, it is not ripe, gave me dry mouth.
The other three were overripe. I opened them up and they were mush inside.
Uh, this one was just mushy one one side.
Hopefully that doesn't mean there's little bugs in here or anything.
But you can notice it's red, which I've never seen before.
It has like a slight...
like fermented smell, I think from being like a little overripe.
But this side looks alright,
this side looks a little eh, but...
Luanne: It's coming to kill me! It knows I'm a Christian!
I'm gonna try one more time to review this fruit here,
and now I just went to the store, and I bought like a dozen of them
and I'm hoping that you find one that is going to be good.
The thing is that...
I was waiting for them to ripen; I don't know exactly how to tell if they're ripe,
but when they're like yellow like that, I think that's not good.
They need to be brown 'cause remember them being brown.
But they're starting to get fuzzy.
Yay! So... uh, this might be disappointing,
but this one looks like it's ready - it's brown,
so I'm going to crack into it and give it a try anyway.
So it breaks off into three pieces.
This one looks a little yellow. I'm guessing that that might be a good thing? So I'm going to try this first.
I'm getting a little dry mouth but...
under the dry mouth there is a...
not unpleasant taste.
But it's not what I remember. I think that these are underripe.
-woman screaming-
Okay, one last attempt to deal with, um, snakefruit.
When I went to the market the other day they have like really big ones out there,
they look like really healthy looking, and I'm hoping that this one is actually good!
Is it ripe? It's um...
It's ripe enough.
-laugh-
You know it gives you, like, a little dry mouth feel.
I don't remember, honestly.
I've had these ones in China, and I remember just, like, really liking them.
Maybe those ones gave me dry mouth too, and I just forgot.
But yeah, this one is not... it's not so bad, just gives a slight dry mouth feel.
No, it's giving me more dry mouth, these things are driving me crazy.
Guide: This snake is more afraid of us than we are of it.
-yelling-
Cartman: Yeah that snake is really scared of us alright.
Miss Stevens: Jesus Christ! Is he dead?
Kyle: My guess would be yes.
But yeah, it's very crunchy, very light.
It's got the texture of like a clove of garlic. That's like how firm it is.
And it's got the flavor of like a very mild pineapple. Got like a jackfruit taste as well.
You know I'm detecting maybe like a hint of, like, tutti frutti kind of flavor to it, like a little bubble gum taste to it,
but it's really, really mild.
I know that kind of sounds probably gross, but it's really not that gross. It's uh...
like the flavors are, like, so mild that it's kind of like you're picking up hints of it?
I actually really like these, at least I think I do.
I actually don't mind the dry mouth so much, because I do really like the taste.
I don't know, like, how to tell a ripe one and...
you know, because they all, from the outside, they look the same.
I would recommend trying them,
and trust your fruit vendor that they're giving you ripe ones.
I went up to the guy like "Are these ripe?"
And he was like "Yeah, yeah, buy them, whatever..."
And know a lot of people actually don't like these, that I've been coming across,
maybe because they're also getting unripe ones or overripe ones, but, um...
I think they're good.
That's all I'm gonna do about this. I am not going to do another review of these,
at least not, um, anytime soon because honestly I'm getting kinda tired of it.
But, uh, yeah! Snakefruits are very interesting looking and tasting fruits,
so I'd, uh, pick one up if you ever come across these.
