What fruit is this?

[Rumi in Hawaii]

Hey I found it! Someone at the Maku'u Farmers' Market had that poster of fruits grown on the Big Island, and there it was....it's a Mabolo fruit, popular in the Philippines. Apparently some folks grow it just because the fruit is so gorgeous. It is edible, but it doesn't sound like it's any stupendously flavored fruit. I'll give it a try soon. Meantime, it apparently smells like stinky cheese from the skin, which you peel before eating the fruit which apparently tastes like a cross between apple/banana, but is rather mealy and not very juicy. I don't mind the smell, but David thinks it's horrid. Incredibly lovely fruit, tho....
