I was at the grocery the other day and they had papayas for a reasonable price so I grabbed one. Now as far as I can remember I don't think I have ever eaten papaya. This morning it seemed ready to eat, a soft spot had developed, so I cut it up. I did a little research and I guess good, ole' Chris Columbus called it, the "fruit of the angels". I'm not sure I'd go that far based on my example. I figure though that papayas are like most fruit. Sometimes they taste sweet and juicy and then there's those time when you wished you'd left them on the grocery's shelf. My papaya is sorta sweet, but it has a weird flavor I can't quite place. The texture is slightly less firm than a cantaloupe, but more firm than a peach.
So what's a good papaya suppose to taste like?
