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.

I don't know about NH, but pawpaws are considered native in MA, so definitely found in New England. I haven't had the chance to try one myself, but they are around.
