Jeff and I have recently discovered the mamey. I can’t remember how Jeff thought to buy one.
They don’t exactly look delicious at the store.
They look like if a kiwi and an old football had a baby. The above photo is a mamey next to a kiwi.
Although when you cut it in half it’s more like a orange colored avacado. They ripen like an avacado.
Saturday – unripe, Sunday – unripe, Monday morning unripe, Monday from 2:00pm -3:00pm ripe, Monday after 3pm -rotten
If you get it when it’s ripe you can eat ir with a spoon and it tastes like a mix between a sweet potato and a pumpkin. So good.
