sodome

My main squeeze was born in the Caribbean but has lived here most of her life. She obsesses sometimes about staying current with familiar foods and plants and expressions. One of our bi-weekly rituals is a trip to a Trinidadian grocery near our place. Yesterday we got these tart, orange elongated fruit that look/taste a little like star apple, but different. I start baffled by the variety of names tropical fruit go by, but navigating language is her specialty. These fruit she says are called five-finger.

Today I'm drinking five-finger nectar. By the glass.
