V is for....

Vanilla
Velvet Tamarind

Have I eaten any of these before?
Vanilla yes... velvet whatnots... no...

Hero of the day?
Obviously with the letters of the alphabet that begin the names of  more "usual" fruits, I shortened my lists to the usual suspects... once to get to V... well... you start grabbing at velvet straws... or should that be ropes?
Without further ado, i present you with... the velvet tamarind... which look like furry grapes...

"Velvet tamarind, Dialium indum, is a tall, tropical, fruit-bearing tree, native to southern Thailand and Malaysia. It belongs to theLeguminosae family, and has small, typically grape-sized edible fruits with brown hard inedible shells."

mmm.... so hard not furry? not sure what more to say about this.... odd....
