Starfruit

When I was a young lad my mom would sometimes buy starfruit as a bit of a treat for us. It was also a fruit that we really didn't see that much of. As we got older my mom always bought less and less of it. The cool thing about Taiwan is that there is a ton of really good and locally grown fruit. I really enjoy being able to stop by any of the road-side fruit stands and pick up some of the good seasonal stuff.

Apparently, the starfruit is in season right now. When I go for a walk at lunch I actually see them growing on trees all over the place. The guard at our company handed me a huge one today when I came and said it was now in season.
