I'm looking for a specific fruit, but I don't know what it's called.
I tasted it once when I was a kid and has never seen it since.

It's similar to a peanut, except much darker in colour.
Inside are two green-yellow pulpy fruits, kind of sticky, like honey but firmer. Tastes acidic\citric.

I remember loving them, but I'm guessing they must have been unhealthy or something since they've vanished without a trace.

Anyone who knows which fruit this is?

You're a fucking weirdo, kid.

Thanks. But you don't know what fruit I'm talking about?

It's similar to a peanut

eh?

In shape and size. Slightly larger.

?

Hopefully this will help.

No sorry. It wasn't to be found there.

Thanks though. I'm guessing this must be a really rare fruit\berry.

When I say similar to a peanut, it's because the size is virtually the same, though the fruit I'm looking for is slightly larger. It's also a hard shell, with -two- fruits inside, kind of like a peanut. It's the same shape as well, but as I said the shell\casing is darker brown (think chocolate).

Inside it has a spring-green-yellow (like not yet sprung leaves) colour. It tastes sour, and is kind of sticky and gooey.

I just remember loving them so much, but haven't tasted them for like twenty years. Perhaps their extinct.

I've also gotten seriously into Nespole (Nesperus?). It's fantastic. Tastes kind of a cross between peach\apricot, strawberry and citrus\lemon. Consistency like an apricot, with though skin and rather dry flesh. Beautifull twin seeds inside. My grandmother loved them when she was alive, ate a whole bunch of them while she lived in Italy, but she was allergic to them so she always had to pay a hard price, but she still ate them. That's how good they are.

ok, here's another link

The only thing I can find that sort of looks like a peanut is a tamarind.

Tamarind is exactly what I was thinking,
We have a tree in our yard


I refuse to eat those things


but the Cubans love them!

It did look very similar, but I didn't have to cook them before I ate them, so?

Perhaps the whole thing were pre-cooked with shell on when I bought it?

Usually how they come.


Cubans eat em raw


as does my aunt.

Now that I know what they're called, I'll have to threathen someone to import them.

Any good as a juice?

Send me a bottle will you?

We've got all sorts of the kool-aid style powder here.
