Aha! I thought that cross-section looked like something Chef Alfredo had made a drink out of on ‘Haciendas de Mexico.’ It’s a cactus fruit called pitahaya or pitaya (as well as dragon fruit), native to Mexico and other parts of Latin America. Wikipedia has several photos, including some of the odd plant it grows on; also some cultivation advice.
I love them – the few I’ve had. They cost a fortune so when they show up I buy one. I’ve wondered if we can grow them somewhere in the U.S.
Look like a designer fruit. What is it called?
How does it taste?
Yes, what’s it called and how does it taste?
It is called ‘dragon fruit.’
How useful to have plastic eyes around when you need them.
Always travel with plastic eyes and ear plugs. You never know when they might come in handy.
YUM!!!

Oh my what beautiful fruit. I love the black & white inside of the red interior. LOVELY.
