Schnauz's Notes

“I'm told this strange fruit is called a Foolish Fruit. With its odd shape and silly hat, it does have a rather goofy air about it. Still, there's no need to make fun. It's perfect just how it is.”

Olimar's Notes

“The shape of this fruit looks a lot like my grandpa's face. Its so similar that if I were to name it, I'd call it a Grampy-Face Fruit... My wife thought my taste in names was "catastrophically bad," which is why she named both of our children. But I think this one has a certain ring to it.”

Louie's Notes

“Can be grilled or sautéed, but I like it best when eaten raw.”
