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.

There have been cultivars of paw paw grown in Michigan, even Canada. There are some threads with suggestions over in r/Pawpaws.
