Feel free to laugh at me, but until recently I didn’t know that passion fruit was an actual fruit and not just a flavor.
Basically I always thought it was an invented fancy name for generic red.
This candy has PASSION! It must be valuable and exotic!
Turns out, whoops! it’s a real fruit! An incredibly delicious fruit that I will only consume in smoothie form because it’s edible guts resemble snot both in texture and color.
I found the one above growing on the fence next to our driveway.
My mind is blown that I live in a place where various tropical fruits grow as weeds in my yard.
Also, just as I wrote that last sentence, a huge flock of Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos flew by just to drive the point home.
Because, you know, the palm trees, mangoes, sunlight, and sweltering february didn’t get the job done.

Mmmmm, tasty snot fruit…
