Papaya question - 2007/03/13 20:16 I found papaya on sale, cheap, at the supermarket, and I bought one.
However I've never had papaya before, at least not AFAIK, and I have no idea as to how to handle a fresh papaya. I've seen them on sale before, but refrained from buying them due to not knowing how to handle them.

Can anyone help me with this?

re:Papaya question - 2007/03/14 05:06 Thanks. For some strange reason I seem to have acidentally killfiled you. Now I've unkillfiled you again.
So, I wait for it to go soft, cut it in halves, and eat the fruit flesh with a spoon, then?

re:Papaya question - 2007/03/14 09:58 Michael's provided some good guidelines for eating the flesh - but don't forget the seeds! As far as I'm concerned, they're the best part. They taste peppery, a lot like Nasturtium flowers, if you've ever tried them. They are excellent on ice cream (or a vegan frozen dessert) and also tossed in salads, pasta, anything your heart desires.

I really do love papaya seeds.

re:Papaya question - 2007/03/14 14:09 My wife and daughter really love them-I don't like them-eat them when soft kind of like an avacado- a soft one-papya itself is a unique taste and a bit like undercooked sqush in consistancy-My wife cannot get enough she loves them--make sure they are soft-like a soft avacado hope this helps.

Maybe I can use it in "Monkey food": when I was a child we'd occasionally get "Monkey food" for dessert, or as a snack. IIRC, it was made with pieces of different fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, and what else was available, with some (approximately 100 g, or so) finely chopped chocolate, all turned in some yoghurt naturel. I just thought of it the other day, and thought it would be fun to have it again some day.

I just took it out of the refrigerator because it's quite hard.

Thanks. I'll make sure to not throw the seeds, so I can give them a try too.
