Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Chikoo, also known as sapodilla or sapota, grows in India, Mexico and Central America, and parts of Southeast Asia. The fruit is lightly larger than a golf ball, with the brown, sandpapery skin of a potato. Inside is a slick, pale orange flesh with several black seeds. The flesh is almost candy sweet (it's sometimes called Indian butterscotch) and has the rough, soft texture of an overripe pair. Chikoo is a common ingredient in Indian ice creams, milkshades, and halwas. The latex from the stem can be used to make chewing gum.

Have you tried one of these before? If you haven't then I suggest you try one soon! :)
