What is this fruit?

[lomuamart]

I bought some fruit last night and I havn't got a clue what there were.
They were the size of a mangosteen, the same colour and the same hard skin.
However, they definitely weren't mangosteens. Very sour to the taste but then sweet. My wife called them "soursomethingorother".
One of the best fruits I've tasted here.
Does anyone know what they are? I've tried to look on the internet but can't find them.

Can you post a photo or are they all gone?

[lomuamart]

They're eaten.
My wife says "sourpot" or "sourpod".
Just picked up the "container" but it's in Thai and I can't read that. don't have a camera either!!

If you go to google photo search, can you find a photo of these fruits there?

Yeah that looks it bit was redder. Maybe they were just more ripe?

Good for cancer sufferers apparently.

I remember Mrs BB buying a load in Kanchanaburi last year.

Passion fruit? เสาวรส (sauwarot) in Thai.

Here's some on passion fruit. it comes in dark and yellow skin. I used to grow it in Hawaii. A vine fruit and takes over your property in one growing season! Pete

That's it, passion fruit.

That second fruit you've shown a photo of, BB, looks like a custard apple.

[Big Boy]

That's right lomu, I remember now - they tried to get me to try it, saying it was like apples and custard, but I'm not that adventurous

[lomuamart]

Custard apples are really nice. I havn't seen mud apples over here but have had them in India. They'll freak you out!!

^ What's the best way of doing Custard Apples?

Big Boy, you should try that one. It is sweet and delicious. The missus calls it Noi-na and never knew the English name for it so I called it the hand grenade fruit because of the similarities in appearance to the WWII era American version of that weapon. My wife is a fruit monster. In fact fruit was one of our largest daily expenditures while in Thailand as I think she ate at least a kilo per day of various fruits. The upside of that was that I think I tried every fruit that grows there and the one you mentioned above was one of my favorites. It has a pretty short season so we always bought them whenever they were available. The ones we bought in Hua Hin were like the green one pictured. I never saw a red one.
