It’s been a slightly slower start than I hoped for, but today amid many chores and errands I took time out for a snack and in the process crossed an item off my list for the first time this year.
I somehow muscled up the courage to eat it straight, snot-like texture aside.
Wild-grown fruit is totally worth the hype.
Wow! That totally does look like snot, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a passionfruit before. I, like you assumed it was some sort of artificial flavoring. I guess that’s what happens when you grow up in the not-so-tropical northwest huh? But still, I wish I had mangoes and passionfruits growing outside my back door, pretty sweet! Literally!

I always wonder what crazy person first found one of those and thought, “Hey, I think it would be a good idea to eat this, even though it looks like snot. YUM!”
I must have been a boy.
HA! totally a boy!
so funny, i grew up with a passionfruit vine, and passionfruit on a pavlova is very australian. i have never thought of it being like snot – but i’m sure now whenever i eat one, i will think about it.
My apologies if I messed up your mental image of passionfruit. It IS delicious though.
oh, and pavlova? I was going to respond with a lazy huh? but googled it instead. whoa, I need to eat that STAT. thanks for the tip, now to find some in Brisbane.
Pav is VERY easy to find in Brisbane, if you check the bakery section of the supermarket in cakes there’s usually some, and of course at the Cheesecake Shop.
And yes, thanks for the snotty reference. It had never occured to me before but so so true. Not as bad as egg snot tho
