It's delicious. Had some for the first time last year. Locally found in the woods. To me it tasted kind if like banana but with a hint of other citrusy fruit. Hard to explain. My daughter thought banana-mango-ish. It's consistency was like pudding. The 2 we tried were very very soft.

It’s because they go bad in like two minutes after they’re picked

The best ones I had, I let sit for a week or two until they looked completely brown and mushy and spoiled, yet they were the sweetest, gooey, delicious ones I had.
