Don’t judge a book by its cover. Or an eggfruit by its appearance. [EDITED]

EDIT: Commenter Aswin points out that this is actually passionfruit, and not eggfruit like I originally said.

Today, my neighbors offered me 鸡蛋果 (jÄ«dànguÇ’). Literally: Eggfruit. It’s just as weird as it sounds.

This is an egg fruit. It looks like an egg. Wonder where the name came from?

WTF.

WTF.

It took a moment for me to muster up my courage and give this fruit a try. When I finally did, I was impressed. It was absolutely delicious. I can’t really describe the taste too well, but it was a little bit like a pineapple and orange fused together.
