... hyper-excitable children, dressed like embryonic cosplay conventioneers, race around sub-divisions - the more dense the habitats the better, with yawning sacks spilling sugary treats - woe betide the neighbourly soul who attempts to dole out ... fruit ...
... apples, bananas, mandarin oranges, raisins, nuts? - "nuh-uh, trick or treat buster, what else can ya show me?" ...
... well, ask me that question and I'll tell you of a worthy fruit that grows on the tropical passiflora maliformis vine, which also yields passion fruit, granadillas and a hard-shelled, green delectable called sweetcup ...
... contemporary Halloween festoonery comes to mind however, when I picture the marble-sized wild varietal, also known as sweetcup ... sought out in the wild, and coveted by kids (big and little) in Jamaica, the soft orange shell, exposed from its unearthly-looking protective nest, has a markedly pumpkin-like appearance, and the edible grey, flesh-covered, slippery seeds inside even look like brain-matter too ...
... slurp clean with the tongue, no need to chew ...
... a sweet-slimy swallow, mmmm ... BOO! ...
Manoman, gimme some of those sweet sweet Jamaican fruits. They look both awesome and delicious - TRUTH!!! :)
