Mmm Fresh Fruit


Just about every breakfast during our vacation had a spread something like this. All of it came from the farmers market or fruit stands of some sort (except for the kiwi).  All below, rombaton, pineapple, bananas, 2 varieties of papaya, mango, jabong, and avocado. So, what's a jabong? It's similar to a grapefruit, one of our favorites. And a rombaton? There is nothing I can compare it to, but it is my kids hands down favorite.Rombaton intact. Who was the first person to be so hungry that they thought, "I'm gonna see what that hairy red ball tastes like."?
Once you peal the outer shell there's a soft and sweet fruit waiting for you. You just bite through the soft outer peal enough to get your finger in, then peal it away. There's a small seed in the center about a quarter the size of the flesh.
