Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I think it's also called papaya. Just wondering if pawpaw is a melon, and if it's best to eat in the morning, or if it can be eaten with other fruits? Caron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 The paw-paw is different than a papaya. But the paw-paw has a tropical taste. Still no clue if it's a melon, but they look and are different than papayas. Hope that helps! Got a little couch potato? Check out fun summer activities for kids.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Right, it is its own beast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paw-paw However, papaya is often called pawpaw in other languages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papaya I've always read, as above, the seeds to be edible, and so always eat them. They have a wonderful black pepper taste. (And no, I haven't had unmentionable side-effects. ??) -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog rawfood , School Of Rawk <schoolofrawk wrote: > > The paw-paw is different than a papaya.

Are you sure you don't mean papaya? NOW this is getting confusing. LOL! Hey, eat what you want, but EVERYBODY was puking (yes, out of both ends) within 10 - 15 minutes. 100% of the unlucky few who tried it before we realized. THANK GOD it was just the staff and not the guests! It was in the Energy Soup I made.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking of papaya seeds, as that was what I believed Caron's paw-paw to be (which she has since confirmed). I've not had a paw-paw proper. <-- alliterations are cool -Erin http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
