I didn't think so either, but the photo has been taken
from a weird angle making it look a little sausage-like.

Some kind of dessert then?

That is my guess also. There seems to be some lighter colored particles scattered throughout the insides. Regardless of what it is, I wouldn't recommend eating it ;)

jajaj, Alma I think that if the DAS was really snooping on here, just a peek at one of my posts would clear me. Well, that is my theory anyways.

Alma if you want it back, just post a few anti FARC comments so you have a "body of work" to show the DAS and I will relinquish it to you ;)

I believe kat1 got it, it has to be borojó. It's too dark to be chontaduro.

The Borojo fruit is highly energetic, with a high protein content. Borojo has essential amino acids for the body and its phosphorous content is surprising.

The ripe Borojo fruit has exceptional properties for the food and health market. It has demonstrated to be very good for:

Bronchial afflictions
providing protein in vegetarian diets
sugar equilibrium in the blood
desnutrition
increasing sexual potency

Borojo is used for consumption under the following forms: Juice, jelly, sauce, and as a mixer of alcoholic beverages.

"Dejeme ver... The report reads:

"El fruto de Borojó fisiológicamente maduro, presenta condiciones excepcionales para la farmacopea, la industria y la alimentación. La fruta de Borojo es famosa por sus supuestas características afrodisíacas. Ha demostrado efectividad en: · la lucha contra afecciones bronquiales, · equilibrar el azúcar en la sangre, · combatir la desnutrición · controlar la hipertensión arterial · aumentar la potencia sexual, entre otros."

Then you discover:

Characteristic DNA sequences of main species of Borojoa and of Borojoa sp. Have been determined by Claes Persson , from Botanical Institute, Göteborg University, Sweden. He has determined the seeds MUST be removed before using as a fruit drink. Research has indicated the prolonged usage can make male testicles ascend into the crotch area and the penis can shorten as much as 2" or disappear all together."

You guys try it and report back with your findings...jejeje."

Alma del Norte, you said you were a guy?
I'd be careful...
but read the thread I have provided a link to...there you have suggestions od how to eat that fruit pulp.
