Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Question of the week:
What is your favorite uncommon fruit? Also what are some good megathread questions?
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
I don’t think it’s really uncommon—although, it was to me as I wasn’t brought up on a lot of fruit (just mango, apple, orange, and lemon)—, but grapefruit would be my pick. I really like it and I don’t like many other fruits, but I don’t have it too often as it has some weird drug interactions. I do enjoy having a fruit that’s bitter and tastes kinda sweet at the same time.
Something that I do want to have again is durian. I didn’t mind the smell and I actually liked how it tasted. Haven’t found any fruit similar to taste. It’s fairly hard to get here (as in I have to travel a bit to a fruit market by public transport) and I’m not sure if my neighbours would appreciate the smell lol.
I also don’t mind coconut given that someone else breaks it open for me… I’ve done it once and it was quite a primal feeling smashing it on my bench hoping that nothing would break. The inner-flesh was nice to eat, but not nice enough to want to smash open a coconut for it.
You mentioned the only two fruits I don’t like lol durian and coconut. I do really love grapefruits though and I’ve been taking them from a nearby tree lately now that they are in season. I don’t know what it is about coconut flavor I really don’t like maybe I should give it another shot.
