How often do you venture out of your food comfort zone?
Our house does all the time.
I've learned that allowing my children to pick out new foods to taste helps their little taste buds to accept a variety of foods. Plus, I can use the food to introduce my children to other parts of the world and other culture's.
Do you know what this is?
It is native to Zimbabwe.

It's a Kiwano, or Horned Melon. And trust me, it isn't something you want to play catch with!
We found it while grocery shopping last week and thought it would be fun to taste.
From Wiki...'The Kiwano (also known as the Horned Melon, melano, African horned cucumber, jelly melon, hedged gourd, and/or English tomato) is a fruit native to a region of the Kalahari Desert. When picked green and allowed to ripen, the fruit tastes like a mix of cucumber and kiwifruit. When it's picked fully ripe, it has a banana-like taste.'
It tastes exactly like a kiwi-cucumber. The slimy sac's of fruit inside the prickly peel take a bit to get use to, but my children sucked it all down, literally!

Oh my goodness! I have never seen or heard of that before! It looks interesting........I'd be tempted to try it but I'm sure my allergy kiddo would be allergic to it...
Some of our weird foods are hemp milk and strange health foodish stuff like that. It's not by choice!!
