The other day one of my neighbors brought me this fruit to try. I am sure she told me the name, but now that I’m doing this post it has slipped my mind. Note to self - make more notes.

Yesterday I was brought this fruit from Costa Rica. It is shaped like a pear. In Costa Rica it is called a Manzana de agua (water apple). I haven’t tried it so I can’t describe how it tastes.
Are you familiar with these? What is it called in Panama? I know the first word, but not [...]
