Dragon-fruit...Unleashed!

I promised that I would dissect the dragon-fruit I purchased from the market so here I am, delivering as promised. I am not embarrassed to say that I had absolutely NO idea how to handle this fruit. I didn't recognize it on sight. I actually Googled "Asian Fruits" and went to images. From there it was easy to click the picture of what I had to determine the name. I used the Thai food section of About.com to understand a bit more about the fruit and learn how to make it edible.

 Well, our first step is to cut it open. Cut it right down the middle. The skin is soft and the fruit inside is even softer and juicier so make sure you have paper towels or something to catch all the liquid. At least don't have anything important nearby...

 After the fruit has been split, shallowly slide a spoon in-between the skin and the fruit and move it all the way around. You can then squeeze both sides from the outside and it should slide out. If it does not, you can repeat the spoon method, going deeper into the fruit

The suggested serving method was to cube the fruit. I couldn't really think of any other way to do it, but I am sure it is up to imagination. The flavor was extremely delicate. The fruit itself had a very soft mouth-feel and was incredibly moist inside.
