I am a very exotic fruit that xiix found in a western grocery store a few days ago. I have a semblance to a very stubby ‘star’ in that I have numerous ‘points’. I am very fat (much thicker than a mango) with olive green skin even when ripe. Inside I am white, with many large black seeds throughout. I have an unusual taste which might be described as creamy and rich, though my flavor is unique, I have the texture of a papaya.
what fruit am I?
I’d say you’re a star fruit (carambola.)
xiix’s current theory is that he either imagined the stubby ‘star-like protrusions’ or else he simply stumbled upon a weird variety, but nonetheless after looking at 100+ fruit pictures and descriptions, he believes the answer is Cherimoya.

You are not a dragon fruit.
Certainly sounds like a kind of Annona, but maybe not a cherimoya - try googling ‘atemoya’, for example, and you get images that slightly more closely resemble the OP’s description.
holy shit, apparently I can cause ‘dilated pupils, intense photophobia, vomiting, dryness of the mouth, burning in the throat, flatulence, and other symptoms resembling the effects of atropine (the poison from the deadly nightshade plant’. Also, Blindness can result from the juice of my crushed seeds coming in contact with the eyes.
Those symptoms are the results of the consumption of my seeds.
:dubious:
Blimey! I never knew that - lucky the seeds are hard as rocks, and big.
Sounds like any given Sunday morning to me. What’s the problem here?

If Dali did it, those little bumps would all be breasts.
They’re NOT?
(If it were on a vine, it wouldn’t be Dali, it’d be Bosch!)
ETA: I wrote that last line before seeing this picture. The only question is, where were the Pitayas in the Late Middle Ages Low Countries? 
I looked at the photos that Mangetout posted and I would have sworn that they were photos of custard apples (that is, cherimoyas) which I first encountered in Sydney. All these things have local names and I would have to be convinced they are different.
soursop? (aka guanabana)
All cherimoyas are custard apples, but not all custard apples are cherimoyas. The genus Annona contains quite a few species, of which several are widely cultivated.

woosh? huh?
Old Hollywood Squares gag:
Peter Marshall: “Paul, you’re the world’s biggest fruit. What are you?”
Paul Lynde: “Humble.”
Nitpick: Deadly Nightshade’s poison is Belladonna, a precursor to atropine.
