Some time ago, I mentioned that I have a penchant for trying exotic 
fruits. Someone suggested I try mangosteen. But, due to a quarantine 
against a certain fruit fly, they were illegal in the United States. 
Well, I was at the grocery store eyeing the fruits on the upper shelf 
(which generally tend to be exotics, though sometimes perfectly 
ordinary) I saw something that looked a bit like a purple passion fruit, 
but not quite. I got closer to inspect. Nope, nothing I had seen before. 
It had a sticker on it "Mangosteen - Imported from thailand - treated 
with irradiation" so, I found one that I thought would be good. Brought 
it home, and split it open. Oh, man! What I've been missing!
