today I am sending you a pitahaya, which is the fruit of a local cactus. If you think it's brightly coloured on the outside:
You should see what it looks like on the inside!
You'd think with all that colour that it would taste absolutely delicious. It doesn't. It is a mushy texture studded with crunchy black seeds that tastes faintly of cabbage and needs a shedload of sugar to make it palatable.
However one can use the thing to test the speed of one's digestion, because if you think beetroot does funny things to you, you should see what happens when you eat one of these!
I have found a use for it though. Behold my friend Helen, who will now model for you the Pitahaya Cosmopolitan. Unlike cranberry juice it provides no taste but colours the hooch up a treat.
Love you
Marianne
