Lucky because they are difficult to find here. It is my favorite tropical fruit.
Also known as soursop.
They are delicious!

Everybody sing:
Guanabana – Do Dooooooo Da Do Do
Guanabana – Do Do Da Do
“Is that a guanabana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?”
…yep, still works.
I love soursop. They taste like a banana-peach-melon-berry-fruit. Excellent fiber source as well.
I’ve only had them in St Martin, and even there they seem to be a rarity. Are they difficult to grow or something?
Here in the Yucatán, the soursop tree is a host to many insects. It needs constant care in order to produce fruit.
The one I bought was probably two kilos and cost 120 pesos ($6 USD). I quickly grabbed it, as it was the only one in the mercado.
When I lived on Guam, there soursop trees everywhere! We ate them some, but mostly mowed over the ones that had fallen off the trees. It almost felt like they were an invasive plant.
**I got lucky today. I found a guanabana!

Never heard of it.
Sounds like a cross between a Guava and a Banana.
I was thinking guano & banana and was like, “well, if that’s what you’re into…”
Getting lewd, with some food.
If that’s what you’re into.
Do you always go around with a mini piano?
I’ve only tried soursop as juice - I found that each sip brought out a different flavour - is the fresh fruit like that too?
Huh! had no idea it was also called a Guanabana. Here in Singapore it’s known exclusively as soursop. That’s interesting.
Yes! Mango, grape, banana, peach, are all in there.
It’s either that or my marching glockenspiel.
That’s weird stuff to find in a can!
Guanabana bo-bana, fee fi fomana…

My childhood home in northern Australia had a full-grown soursop tree in the backyard when we moved in. It’s still going strong and producing well almost thirty years later. The only real pest that gets into the fruit are the flying foxes, and they’re outfoxed(!) if the fruit is covered with a pillowcase.
As children we weren’t really fond of the flavour, but I kind of miss it now, and make sure to load up when I visit mum.
I found a few today at my Mexican supermarket and thought of this thread. Holy cannoli are they expensive. $11.99 a pound! I bought one fruit for almost $8. And this is at a supermarket where limes are ten to the dollar and small hass avocados go for two for a buck on sale.
My lucky fruit find this week was some jackfruit. You see it sometimes processed as a meat alternative but it’s rare to see it being sold as fruit. But they had some at a local supermarket this weekend. I also got some donut peaches, which are early.
