Hồng xiêm, the local version of sapodilla. Happily I can buy those at the market 50 meters from my house. If they are not quite ripe, they are firm and have the very strange property of, in spite of being juicy, making your mouth dry up. Well ripened they are soft, consistency like a ripe pear maybe, with a sweet caramel-ly taste. MMMMM. :)

Is it something like the Asian apple or pear-apple or something like that? I can't remember the right name at the moment. Oh, Asian pear?
Hi! I mean it is a little bit grainy (?) in texture like a pear, a pear in America not an Asian pear. Asian pears are firmer and not as sweet. But I bet you can get these things in the US too, sapodilla, probably expensive and not as good though - I don't think they grow in cold places!
