Eggfruit from MauiI ate an amazing thing in Kauai, the egg fruit.  It has the color and texture of perfectly creamy-cooked egg yolk, and a gently sweet flavor that I cannot describe with any poetry.

They won’t grow anywhere near here, and there is a tiny possibility south Florida could harvest the fruit, but no one transports them around, so basically it is a Hawaiian treat.  When can I go back?
