Renie...you won one prize already. Double or nothing? Name this fruit.
It has got to be one of these....http://vietnam.sawadee.com/fruits.htm I ruled out banana, pineapple, rambutan, mangostero, duream...so that leaves about 10 others... Persimmon? Sapodilla, star apple?The site also says to be sure to get a Buoi Phuc Trach (polemo) at the Phuc Trach Station in Huong Pho train station...the vendors sell it.And why is spell check under lining all these words?

Jackfruits contain a lot of sugar and calories. They grow on every part of the tree: the trunk, branches, and even on the roots. Jackfruit trees bear approximately 150 to 200 fruits per year. When the fruit are ripe, their pulp is yellow and sweet, containing a lot or little juice depending on the species. Jackfruits without seeds are planted densely in the Mekong Delta region.To nu jackfruits are small and come from a short tree. The flesh of ripe fruit is firmly stuck to the core; when eating a jackfruit, simply hold the core and pull it out. In the south, the to nu jackfruit harvest season starts from March to June. There are several other species of jackfruits divided into two main groups: hard jackfruits with hard and crunchy flesh, and soft jackfruits with soft flesh and a lot of juice.

Do I get partial credit since it was in the link? The ones in your picture are green and the ones on the site have a brown skin... that's what threw me off...

Just noticed... you typed your information about the fruit directly from the link I sent... so I get full credit!

Yes...I forgot the name of the fruit thinking that nobody was going to answer it. Stupid me! Thanks for sending the link...I had to read through them until I remembered it was Jackfruit.
