slo’s Monday 11/13 poll - Dragonfruit

[BlueStarryHat]

I tried it once because I saw it in the supermarket and was intrigued. It's such a pretty fruit, but it tastes like cardboard. So I never bought it again.

 

[Moliphino]

I've had it in a Starbucks drink.

I like the idea of it and it looks very distinct …

 

[RUDisney]

I've tried it and found it to be very meh. Not much flavor, IMHO.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I've never had it, heard of it or seen it. Voted other.

My daughter likes a drink at Starbucks that contains dragon fruit. She bought a bag of frozen dragonfruit cubes to try the replicate the drink at home. The drink is pretty good, but I think the dragon fruit adds more to the look than the flavor. I have never bought them "fresh." though.

Never had it

 

[hertamaniac]

I think I had it once; I don't remember anything except it wasn't very flavorful.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I think they grow dragon fruit in the Living with the Land exhibit in Epcot. I've heard of it and have seen it, but I have no idea how to use it or what it takes like. I don't know where it grows. It's very dramatic looking, though.

I've never had it! It looks cool. I'm not a big fruit girl. I do LOVE veggies, though!

 

[DVCjj]

Heard of it but never eaten (or really had a desire to eat).

Now Passion Fruit is another story. Love the flavor in yogurt, shave ice, juice etc.

 

[jo-jo]

Dang it…..I knew I left something out and I did.
Sorry I don’t have an option for not trying it.
I blame me not having enough coffee yet - LOL!

And there is your next poll......how much caffeine do you need to think straight. None, one cup reg. one cup espresso, one case red bull.

I love it!

We have had it and I have occasionally buy it if it’s on sale. It’s not very flavorful, more like a bland kiwi. It looks so pretty and exotic though and I like to buy different fruits to get a variety of vitamins and nutrients. I don’t think it would be any star of a recipe other than looking cool in a fruit salad.

I have heard of it, but don't recall ever having it or seeing it in the store. I will have to look because a search shows my Walmart and my grocery store carry it.

 

[1420Elexismc]

I feel like it doesn't taste like much of anything-it is eye catching though

 

[disneydreamer1980]

Very bland and flavorless

 

[soccerdad72]

I think I've had it in a few things, but I've never bought it or eaten it straight.

 

[Micca]

I've heard of it but have never eaten it and really have no interest in trying it. So you won't be dragon me into this conversation.

 

[CynBeth]

I voted ‘Other’ as I’ve heard of it but never tried it…

Same here.
