Soursop in Paradise

I never managed to learn its flavor. It was at least several days from being ripe, and I bought this the day before my flight out. I purchased some cherimoyas and bananas just to have a source of ethylene to ripen it. It showed no sign of ripening, so I eventually resorted to fruit denting. Dented fruit ripens much faster. Well, it was so tough that smashing it against concrete did little other than break off some of the fleshy spines. Before my flight out, I cored some chunks out with a spoon. The samples had nearly no taste, so this one got away.
