It's pronounced like pineapple is in Spanish, but it's definately not pineapple. l looked it up in a Portuguese-English dictionary and it said 'pinecone,' but I know that that's not correct. The flesh is surrounded by a hard rough shell, a lot like a turtle's. The inside is full of big black seeds that you have to suck the fruit off of. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? What is the English word for it?
It sounds a bit custard apple-ish. They're good too, but rare.
