How Do You Like Your Papaya?

WhenI was newly married back in the 70s, there was a small neighborhood grocery store where we shopped.  It was run by a Cuban gentleman.  He was always very nice to us so we were happy to support this local small business.  We bought a lot of fresh produce from the shop but one thing I did not buy was papaya.  I didn’t know anything about this fruit and my brand new husband never asked me to use it in a recipe.  Several decades later, I’ve learned many recipes that my husband likes.  Decided to learn about food and recipes neither one of us know much about.  I have learned a lot about this wonderful fruit. Some say it’s a SUPER FRUIT!!  There are a lot of great recipes that use PAPAYA as the main ingredient.

  1. I didn’t realise you could do so much with papaya. To be honest, it’s not something I eat all that often, but I like the look of the papaya boats, easy to make too. =)

  2. I was first exposed in Thailand and honestly, the Papaya we get in the US, are no where near what papaya should taste like

    they are good, but not the same.
