I never have this fruit back home. But I've heard so much of this fruit before the autumn came last year. Everyone was telling me, it's the most delicious fruit in New Zealand.
Feijoa also known as pineapple guava or guavasteen. The fruit is maturing in autumn, usually we just cut into half and scoop the pulp out with spoon. It has really distinctive flavour, some of my friends said taste like perfume, I also thought it taste like Bubblegum. :)
