Mystery Fruit Poem by Kim Barney
Mystery Fruit
Have you ever eaten this fruit?
It's exotic, and sweet to boot.
Do you know what it is?
Then you just solved this quiz.
It appears to be a Papaya. I would submit a link if I could.
It is indeed a papaya. I first encountered this fruit in Brazil more than fifty years ago. The Brazilians call it a mamão, and I never learned until years later, back in the States, what Americans called it.

This is papaya or fruta bomba as it is called Cuba
Fruta bomba? I like that. It is shaped rather like a bomb, isn't it? Thanks for the comment, Sandra.
