The Return of the Baby Alien Fruit!

While I was in Ecuador I discovered the granadilla, a fruit that looks like the pod for dozens of alien eggs, at least that is how one friend of mine described it.  I though that was as weird as most of my fruit adventures would ever be.  I underestimated Nicaragua.

This is a mamon chino on the outside, all spiky and blood red.

Inside it harbors its sweet tasting alien goo...I mean fruit. 

They are in most markets now, and cost about 70 cents the dozen, which means that for less than a dollar you can infect your face with as many baby aliens as you could possibly want.
