Another edition of…
Refi: I had one mention of interest towards the fruit so that’s what I’m going to do. So before the convention I was driving home and saw a dollar store and thought I’d go see if they had any mallets my friend and I could use for our Kodocha cosplay. They didn’t have anything but I noticed Asian characters on the front of the next building. I said below the Asian words “Local Supermarket” so I thought I’d check it out, who knows they might have had some in the toy section? Well no dice…BUT I made other discoveries there!!! For you I will share Wikipedia (since I didn’t have my camera w/ me and I don’t know what the workers would think if I started taking pictures of their food) pictures of what I found.
This is called a Jackfruit. The picture doesn’t do the wonder justice. It is as big as a watermelon and more prickley than a pineapple! The inside was orange too.
  
Now these little beauties are called dragonfruit, and there is a legend that goes w/ them too! Something along the lines of that’s what caused the dragons to breath fire and knights would slay them and flaunt this fruit in front of the emperor than eat it to gain the dragons strength. Dragons became extinct because of this. Of course I did not know this at the time I was at the store and even though it was pretty, I had no idea how I would eat it even if I bought one o.O But thank goodness the World Wide Web of Everything could tell me that too (I still don’t know if I’d like it, I’ve been trying lots of new foods and haven’t liked them-except the cashew chicken and soba noodles-and the fruit was the same cost of a fast food meal…which is 3 times what I spend per meal X3)
 
Behold the inside of a dragon fruit!
As I mentioned, I’ve been trying new foods and sadly I don’t like them. I’ve had miso soup w/ tofu, coconut milk w/ pulp, there was my kimchi experience I talked about in my shoutbox a month or so ago, then I had a beverage from a fruit called lycee, and then there were these gummies that had a bee on the cover saying huny and the gummies were yellow and shaped like corn on the cob. I thought they’d be honey flavored gummies…but I was wrong…they were Corn Flavored!!! From the smell to the taste, it was canned corn. Now I like my corn on the cob or frozen but not canned, but even if I could stand the taste of corn, if I wanted to taste corn, I’d eat the real thing instead of candy that tasted like that so I would at least be getting the nutritional value that comes w/ the flavor! Perhaps I’m an ignorant American. I feel bad that I don’t like what I try, as excited as I am before when I buy it. But with that, I’ll conclude my post…
Hiei Clone #3: >.> Wait a minute!
Refi: o.O huh?
Hiei Clone #3: What is that? *points to top of post*
Refi: ^^; I was recycling the picture because I was talking about food?
Hiei Cone #3: >.> When did you use it before???
Refi: ^^;;;
Hiei Clone #3: >.> You wouldn’t happen to have been spying on me have you???
Refi: uh...Well look at that MERRY CHRISTMAS! I got you your own cooking show just like you always wanted! Just ignore my talk about exotic foods, forget the World Wide Web of Everything, you’re the master you should tell us! Here *tosses dragon fruit to Hiei Clone #3* show us how on earth you eat this!
Hiei Clone #3: *catches* Why thank you *sinister look* This is the very substance to fuel the fire of my Dark Dragon! And with it, I will kill you! *starts to glow and jagan emerges*
Refi: O-O eep! *runs* Where’s the buzzing collar? Where’s Kyo? Where’s Violets violet? Where’s Kurama HELP!!!
