Indonesia Fruit Quiz

We've encountered some interesting fruits on our first days in Bali:
We thought this was a decoration in our hotel room, but it turns out to be edible & quite delicious. Snakeskin Fruit.

We don't know what this is, but it tastes like a cross between a pear and an apple. Papple.

Bonus round:
Lechee (or romboton), Guava, Dragonfruit, and ??? Any ideas for the one that looks like a cartoon from a Mario Bros game?

It's a mangosteen. Ahhh...one of the many benefits being a Pacific Asian Islander (as we're referred to these days) growing up in Hawaii.

Hope you got to taste some of these fruits! Lychee (fresh, not the yucky canned stuff) is my fave! And the dragon fruit taste much better than it looks. Kinda a cross between a pear and kiwi.

Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year to you and Forrest Tyler! Not sure how you could top off this year though!

Aloha,
Debby

Oh we ate everything, Debby... once we figured out how to get into it. You win the prize though for fruit identification. We sure are missing fresh fruit back in Alaska.
