Many of us have that fruit we want but just don’t know how to get. In this case the target is the mamey sapote among others. Perhaps your wondering what a mamey sapote is
So this is where I found to get it if you want to try one and yes they ship them. I’m undecided on this one like durian it’s in my reach but I’m on the fence
If all else fails never forget about Chinese groceries. The best fruit I’ve had was found there! Here is a thread of hard to get fruits I tried in Kansas. Mangostein is my favorite so far.
It’s very nice if it’s properly ripe, but the big problem is buying one that’s ripe. If picked too early it will not ripen properly. You can waste a lot of money trying to find a ripe one.
It does not taste like sweet potato or pumpkin pie. It tastes like almonds and vanilla with the texture of an avocado…
agreed! it sure tastes like marcona almond marzipan custard, and also with strong sapodilla qualities, its smaller-fruited cousin(sapotaceae family). Maturity of fruits may be difficult to gauge. High density relative to size would be a good sign. One may covertly nick the skin to check if the pulp has minimal hues of green or yellow. If the hue is more of orange or reddish, the better. Bigger fruits are generally better.
photo below is a good-sized mamey, together with morado bananas. Possible that the indentation near the roundish end was where i nicked the thing.
Ok, you are right. Raf is off the hook with those statue of the roosters and they not live animals. He still can send me a couple of pounds of fresh jujubes anyway for the bribe. Lol.
while we’re veering off-topic, have to admit that i got exposed to it growing up in the tropical isles, and there was a brief period of time it piqued my interest, just as i was into bikes, cars, guns, and even katana swords(you know-- the stuff typical boys like). But for some reason the ‘novelty’ of all those wore out in my late teens, and now would rather limit my hobbies to building stuff, growing trees, and lately, growing flowers(of all things!). Seems like my testosterone and machismo levels are dwindling
as for those brass roosters, let it be known that no animal was hurt in its production and filming. I still eat meat, i admit, but just tiny, almost negligible portions, and mostly fish. So not just my testosterone levels declining, but this human is transforming into a chimp–lots of fruit and little meat, haha
speaking of transforming into a chimp, there was a time in my life when i’d eat those for breakfast and lunch, and nothing else! I’d still do that if only those were available here.

I liked the sweet one better. On the way home from Church and noticed a new Hispanic Market and they carried these fresh 6 feet long Sugarcane. I got a couple for snack.
In my long ago experience, those eyes closer to the bottom of a cane germinated fater/better. Maybe, more energy is stored at lower part of the cane. Not really know why but that how we did it way back.
