Mega Papaya

 

A year ago I wrote about the mysterious pineapples that appear on our doorstep from time to time, a gift we eventually traced to a neighbor who lives across the courtyard from us.  Yesterday, when returning home, we found a large object wrapped in newspaper sitting on our doorstep, too large to be a pineapple.

P1200435

What was it?  The largest papaya I've ever seen.  Hopefully, we're going to have a hoard of fruit eaters descending on us soon because I don't know how we'll ever finish so much papaya just by ourselves.

Oddly, left with the payapa was the handle of a shovel.  Just the metal handle, not the woden shaft or the blade of the shovel.  Strange, huh?

My mouth is watering with the thought of papaya - it is definitely my favorite fruit.... Wish I was there to help you eat it )

I am not a fan of papaya; don't find it tasty at all.

I think papaya is stinky but when pulped it can be tasty. My dad would be all over helping you eat that papaya :)

I must say Chris you are a lucky man. If we Italians get a fish wrapped up in paper as a gift, basically we know that in a short time they will find our body somewhere at the bottom of a lake

I don't look for papaya but if offered I would eat it. I have never seen one that large - do you have some ideas about how to work with it. Strange gifts

Stalked by a fruitarian. Look out, it'll be kiwis flying through the windows next, and then the monster watermelon!

Lovely papaya. It looks like the tropical variety, not the Hawaiian kind.

I think of papaya and I think of dried fruit... We never get good papaya in IN. Even the ones at the store are tasteless. Enjoy! Papaya sherbet?

If you can't finish it, juice it.

I suggest freezing part of it for later juicing. Dad and I buy large papayas from south of the border and eat a bit of it each day on our fruit plate. They keep well for quite a long time.
