ME: The mystery food this week is Dragon fruit! Why do you think it’s called a Dragon fruit?
LAUREN: Because it has red all over it.
SAM: It looks like there’s fire on it.
ME: What color is it going to look like on the inside?
SAM: Pink.
LAUREN: I think it’s going to be black and white.
ME: OH MY GOSH! It’s polka dot! It looks like cookies and cream, seriously.
ME: Who wants to smell it?
LAUREN: Apples.
ME: Sam?
LAUREN: Really sweet apples!
ME: I don’t know if you’re supposed to eat the pink side on the outside. (Not the skin, but there is a pink layer inside the skin).
ME: (cutting)
ME: I think the pink part is edible.
ME: What does it taste like?
LAUREN: I want to feel it. It feels kind of prickly.
ME: OK, now that you’ve felt it, do you want to try it?
LAUREN: No.
ME: It doesn’t have much flavor. Kind of tastes like jicama.
ME: Guys, seriously, nobody wants to try it? How could you not? It’s so pretty.
ME: Sam, want to try it?
SAM: What are these black things?
ME: I think they’re seeds.
SAM: Hm, I don’t like it. I like plain flavors.
