I went to Splash Frozen Yogurt yesterday with my friend, and they had this container of weird yellow globules of something that we weren't real sure of what it was. It was near the fruit, and smelled citrus-y, so I put a few into my bowl and moved down the line. They were pale golden yellow and they weren't all uniform (as many fruits aren't), and had a juice in the container with them. When we sat down, it was the first thing I tried. I popped one into my mouth, and found it had a silky texture to the skin.... the same silky texture that other citrus pulp has (such as grapefruit and oranges).... but they were large! Like, the size of marbles. When you busted the pulp skin (which was resilient but gave way easily), the inside (no seed) was sorta thick and... well, silky! It had a mild citrus flavor, but not one I could identify. Kinda lemony and orangy and... something else? I'm not real sure! But it was VERY yummy, and a LOT of fun to eat! I wish I had gotten more of them! But I have NO idea what kind of fruit it was! Most of the pieces were perfectly round or oval, but some had a short pointy part (which lead me to believe it was the pulp of something)....

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS WAS?! I WANT MORE! lol!

(And yes, I realize *now* that experimenting with unknown food (even fruit) isn't smart during pregnancy... I just didn't think about it at the time. I kinda wanna know if I shouldn't have eaten it. :-S )

    Call them and ask them.
  • MythicaMythica
    @caffeinated_katie No, I looked that up. It looks like the pulp for that has a dark seed in it or something. This was 100% pure pulp pieces, no seed... like grapefruits. :) Good guess, though!

    @caroline8_p I thought about that... lol. But the lady who checked us out barely spoke english. All she said was our total and pointed to the credit card machine. lol. She was foreign... some type of asian? (I really am no good at identifying different races! D: I try to avoid it when possible.)
  • RTMommyRTMommy
    Sounds like maybe a cumquat. Real name, even though it looks weird. ;)
  • MommyofAngelsMommyofAngels
    Was it and Ugli Fruit? Thats what it kinda sounds like to me...
  • MythicaMythica
    @RTMommy Not a cumquat... looked at that, too. :)

    @MommyofAngels Hmm, not that, either...

    (I'm looking up each suggestion as it comes along. lol. None of them match, but keep guessing ladies! I'll keep looking them up and seeing what I can find!)

    Pomegranite?
  • MommyofAngelsMommyofAngels
    Was it a Star Fruit? lol
  • RTMommyRTMommy
    Okay...how about lychee? It doesn't have the right color skin, but it's popular at tea and yogurt shops these days.
  • MythicaMythica
    @biffymnstr Definitely not a pomegranate... those are my favorite fruits. :D

    @MommyOfAngels Nope. Star fruits were described as crunchy. This was definitely soft. lol. Any other thoughts?
  • MythicaMythica
    @RTMommy No, ma'am. But I do want to try those. :D lol

  • MythicaMythica

    @kara_lamek Maybe a little bit, yeah.
  • mandac10mandac10
    No u don't bit if its what I think it is its not a fruit at all lol! They t by the fruit but they r like a juice filled tiny ball that's only purpose is to pop juice in ut mouth. There really neat n taste great! They r at all the lil yogurt bars here on the island but the way u said thy pop that's wha I think it is. Almost looks like a berry in a way but its a man made prossesed treat. I forgot the name of them
  • kara_lamekkara_lamek
    @mythica I didn't know she posted it lol I was typing mine. And we have them at ours too. We have pink ones and orange ones.
  • mandac10mandac10
    @kara_lamek that's what im talking about! We have those! Its not a fruit its a juice fills ball cause my husband asked the worker what it was. I can't remember what its called
  • MythicaMythica
    @Mandac10 and @Karalamek Well, then don't I feel silly! lol. But I swear they reminded me of pulp from a citrus fruit!
  • one5oneone5one
    Pomagranite?? Cactus fruit?? Guava?? Or call the place and ask!!
  • MythicaMythica
