Costa Rica has great fruit smoothies, so over lunch I introduced a friend to guanabana. I've had it as a juice/smoothie a couple of times, but I had no idea what the fruit actually looked like or is called in English, and I had definitely never tasted it before. After some Googling, I found out two things:
1) that, properly written in Spanish, it has an accent and is guanábana (pronounced guanAbana) which makes it even more entertaining to say
2) that it is "soursop" in English. That is not nearly as appealing or as funny a name as guanabana.
We also picked up 1 kg of perfect strawberries on the side of the road today for $3. Edible joy.
