Cacao!

Last night, I was able to try something new: eat a cacao fruit! It was my first time to both see and taste one, and I was giddy the whole time. I managed to take a picture of it before my dorm mates and I devoured it for dessert:


Doesn't it look like an ice cream cone?! Hahaha!

To eat it right, you're supposed to pick off the seeds and suck on them one by one. It was hard to pick them off, though, because the seeds were too slimy; they kept sliding off my hands. And then when I was finally able to put one seed in my mouth, I couldn't exactly begin the sucking process because, well, there's nothing to suck. I felt the fibers, all right, but I mostly just sipped the seed. Hahaha.

Boring post, I know. But whatever. It makes me happy when I get to do something new or different. :)

I googled some pictures for your viewing pleasure:
