Tht's one of the fruits on my own "I'm dying to try this someday" list. I've never actually seen any, though. :confused:

I just bought a dragonfruit for the first time yesterday. Lucy warmed up to it pretty quickly, but Ricci was terrified of it at first. She actually ran away from the bowl. After cautiously watching her big sister eat it for a few minutes, Ricci decided to try it, too. In the end, they both devoured it!! Totally worth the $8 that I spent on it.

I really like it :) I have never seen it around here to buy one but we ate it pretty much every morning for breakfast when I was in China

I just googled it I have never heard of it or seen one. The photos of the fruit and plant is very interesting.

It's okay, I find it kinda bland, but pretty. Zetta likes it; I haven't tried it on Mayu yet.

Douglas loves it!
They love picking the little seeds out of it :)

They are becoming a lot more readily available over here. They're delicious and very pretty!

They are yummy!

I love them, but did not give one to Dante yet, so I am not sure how much he loves it.

I've never actually seen dragonfruit. I may have to look around, but I'd be scared too since I'd bet my guys would love it and then I'd be running all over to get it. :rolleyes:

The red flesh ones in particular are very popular with Elmo and Danny. :) I've tried both the red and the white ones, after buying them for the birds, and found them to be quite bland. :p

:lol:I have never seen dragon fruit and I promise in this small town I live in they will never have it, heck I would see a dragon in the store before they would put any thing like that in.. Sometimes it does not pay to live in small towns ;)

I've seen them at H-Mart, the Asian market I often go to, but have never picked one up. I will buy one today and check it out! (for me and the fids)
