- (Vince) Today, you'll be eating this.

- I've seen these before, but I don't even know what this is.

- What is this?

- Oh, I love these.

They taste really good in a smoothie.

Pitaya?

Pitaya, is that it?

- Oh my gosh. They're so weird-shaped.

- They're pink with spike-a-ma-jigs.

- It's kind of like avocado.

Kind of hard, but kind of squishy.

- It smells like a radish.

Like fresh fruit out of the garden.

- It looks like a mini-pineapple that's pink.

Dragon fruit!

- Why am I eating dragon fruit?

I've just seen it before on YouTube and TV.

- It's like a dragon fruit, I think.

So I'm not scared to eat this.

- (Vince) We have a freshly cut piece for you to try.

- Ewwwwwwww!

It looks disgusting inside of it.

- This looks like the inside of a kiwi.

- I didn't expect it to have seeds.

I thought it would be something you'd actually bite into.

- It's a completely different color scheme,

and it looks more gelatin-like than it is on the outside.

- It still had to do this, even though I know it's sorta good.

- Deeeh. Get off!

Tastes like a watermelon.

I'm not a big fan of watermelon.

- Not as good as I expected it to be.

(anxious sigh)

(nibbling)

- Oh, that's mushy!

It tastes kinda like a pear.

- Okay, yeah, it's good.

I'd say a cantaloupe kind of tastes like it.

(fork clinks glass)

- It really doesn't taste that bad.

Like, if you put chia seeds inside of a kiwi,

that's what it tastes like.

- Hmm! Pretty good.

- It's yummy.

It's really nice how the seeds are popping in your mouth.

- It's good.

The texture is like a strawberry 'cause of the seeds.

It's good. (chuckling)

- I like it.

I could see me going somewhere like Hawaii

or the Amazon and be eating this.

- I don't like it.

Why don't you guys just let me eat spaghetti or something?

- (Vince) You just tried pitaya. - Wha--?

- What?

- (Vince) Better known as dragon fruit.

- Oh, that's what the other name for it was.

- It kinda looks like a tropical fruit 'cause of the weird shape,

like a pineapple's kinda shaped weirdly like this.

- (Vince) They're called dragon fruit in America

because their names in Asian countries translate to things

like "dragon scale" or "dragon crystal."

- Okay.

- Wait, were dragons real?

- (Vince) Why do you think they call it those things?

- Looks like a dragon egg with a leaf sticking out of it.

- I totally see scale.

Because there's some full scales here.

- If it was called "dragon crystal," I would just take it home

and I'd be like, "See my crystal?"

- (Vince) Finally, do you recommend people try dragon fruit?

- Yes.

- Yes.

- No! I don't like the taste.

- Yes.

I know it looks weird, but try it.

- Yes.

It's kind of bland, but it has an okay flavor.

- Yes.

Even though it does not look very appetizing on the outside,

it actually tastes pretty good.

- Yes.

It's a different taste that probably you have never tasted before.

- Totally.

It's one of the most exotic fruits I've ever tasted.

I want more of this!
