Mamones
Mamones fruit are rarely found in the grocery store, but are widely sold by street vendors, and particularly along the highway between Caracas and Valencia, in the region where the tree seems to grow. I don't know what the tree looks like, but the season for buying this strange little fruit is limited to the summer months. The fruit comes in bunches, and the mamone is smaller than a golf ball, about the color of a lime, and has thick rind that cracks off the fruit. The momone also has a large seed, so there's not much pulp to eat, but what is there is tangy and sweet. It's a Venezuelan delicacy.
