Simply Soursop

I grew up eating soursop as it is a common fruit from where I used to dwell.

These days soursop has been a rare commodity even from the region where I live.

When I was in Colombia recently, I was spoiled with a feast of soupsop.

Most of my team members had never tried the fruit so when they tried it, they were not accustomed to the tangy and sweet flavour of this tropical fruit (an acquired taste), hence most of this delightful fruit was left for me to gorge on.

When the locals knew that I enjoy eating the fruit, which is also known as guanabana (pronounced as guanavana), they suggested I should taste this exotic fruit with milk.

So whenever I was at a cafe, without fail, I would order myself a thirst quenching glass of fresh soursop smoothie and it was indeed delicious!

However nothing beats the one that I had from the street vendor:
One fine morning, while rushing to take a metro train, I bumped into a street vendor that sold soursop drink. I hesitated to buy the drink or not (for street food might cause me tummy bugs); I couldn’t resist but bought myself a cup of this icy and juicy soursop drink. It even has the slimy fruit pulp in it; it was simply the most delicioso guanabana drink I had for a long time!
