Dragon Fruit

...There are 3 types of Dragon Fruit and they all have very technical names.

Whilst in Lidl about a year ago I stumbled across something very different looking, a bright pink round thing called a dragon fruit. Curious I purchased one and it cost me £1.49. It looks unlike any fruit I have ever seen before. It is bright pink with a sort of pineapple looking skin. The inside of the fruit is completely different to the outside ...
