DRAGON FRUIT: it being the year it is and all, I bought one of these^^^ at See Woo in Lisle Street, for pudding tomorrow.
[Wikipedia: A pitaya or pitahaya (/ˌpɪtəˈhaɪ.ə/) is the fruit of several cactus species, most importantly of the genus Hylocereus (sweet pitayas). These fruits are commonly known as dragon fruit – cf. Chinese huǒ lóng guǒ (火龍果/火龙果) “fire dragon fruit” and lóng zhū guǒ, “dragon pearl fruit”, Vietnamese thanh long meaning “sweet dragon”, Indonesian and Malaysian buah naga, “dragon fruit”, Lao mark mang gohn for “dragon fruit”, and Thai kaeo mangkon (Thai: แก้วมังกร) “dragon crystal”. Other vernacular names are strawberry pear or nanettikafruit.]

Refrigerate them for a bit before you eat them, they are better cold (it’s like a melon with the texture of a kiwi).
