They're called quenepas (kay-nay-pahs, but with a Spanish accent). They're sold everywhere - you could buy a huge bunch from random guys walking on the street. That may sound sort of sketchy, but it's not. You eat them by peeling off the skin, then popping them in your mouth and sucking on them until all that's left is the pit.
That's what they look like partially unpeeled. The flesh is sour and sweet and you get juice all over your hands, but they're good. If you eat too many, they leave an almost chalky taste in your mouth. The thing is, we bought them in the tail end of the season, which means if we had come earlier, they may have been even better. Anyway, just wanted to share that little thing with you guys.
