Hey everyone this is Sointex here. Excuse me I'm a little bit under the weather I think I kind of cold or something like that not a big deal. Maybe you can talk kind of look a little bit I don't look that great right now that's okay but my office mate Pat was very kind today and he brought me Paw Paw it's a fruit that grows actually I don't know exactly where the whole area is where it grows by note grows in Ohio there's a Paw Paw festival down here in South East Ohio every year and I've had it once before at the festival maybe about five years ago maybe four years ago and I couldn't remember what it tasted like and I didn't have it fresh out I think I had Paw Paw beer or something so anyway I'm gonna I'm here to get this Paw Paw fresh off the tree from yesterday and I'm gonna try it out do a little taste test review Pat told me see this line I don't know if you can make that out there's a line that comes down here he said the easiest way to eat it is to just kind of split it over and across that line now I mean he said it's messy but I don't know let me let me see if I can angle this camera so you can kind of see oh my god that is foul hmm oh wait there was a sweet spot okay this bottom part has a sweet spot that first bite was nasty okay getting much better if you're not familiar with the Paw Paw you can see it's got like big old seeds about the size of almonds and they're very messy to eat but actually this one tastes pretty good I mean for a fruit that grows in Ohio it tastes pretty good they're ripe on the trees about this time of year in the fall and the animals get to them pretty quick so you got to get to them in a couple days that they're ripe okay it kind of tastes like let me describe the taste I don't know how I can describe it besides kind of the texture is very foul it's kind of like a really stringy yogurt it's like if you mashed yogurt into something and then made it but put some like sinuous fibers into the yogurt that's the texture it's a little bit sweet obviously it's a fruit I mean that's not a very good descriptor it's sweet kind of like I mean it looks kind of like a the color of banana so it's I mean it's I kind of want to say it's like banana but not as firm the texture's not as firm and doesn't break as easily it's already like liquidian actually it's getting better the more I eat it the better it tastes I think at first I was expecting it to taste like other fruits but it doesn't okay that top parts disgusting yeah the closest thing I could say it's like a banana it's like a really wet sogdab banana kind of a little bit bland average taste it's like if I could like if you could boil down every single fruit it feels like a melting pot like you remember when they stopped wanting to use the term melting pot because it like diluted the character of the different immigrant immigrant groups who came to America so they started trying to call a salad bowl mix it's kind of like that it's like if you took all the fruits and took away all their admirable characteristics and all their good tastes and like melted them down into one single fruit that's what a pop-up tastes like it tastes like the most generic fruit so it's like it's like juicy squishy fruity watery like but yeah I wouldn't even say fruity because fruity implies that it's like tastes good but it's not it doesn't really taste that good it tastes like uh I'm not okay I'm not here's here's a good way to describe it imagine if you took like the bark of a tree or like a tree trunk and at the inside of a tree branch and you look at that and you imagine that that was like a fruit like the tree itself was a piece of fruit and you tasted it that's what it tastes like if you looked at the inside of like the bark of a tree or something and scraped some that off you're like this is a fruit tree but like the tree itself is actually the piece of fruit that I mean I don't know if that makes sense but all right this video is a little bit run a little bit long so I'm gonna end it here and I'll finish up my pop-up on thanks for watching hope if you have the chance you get a chance to try some pop-up I mean I mean it's probably worth trying once
