Always loved what my family called Pawpaws in Indiana. I thought they tasted like a banana but not as sweet. Loved them.

I am not a number., Hi! Your comment prompted ME to comment! I LOVE " The Jungle Book" and bought both of my grandchildren the VHS tape( yes, I'm that old, LOL). The younger one, about to turn 25, also has the DVD! It's an amazing movie that is timeless! That song is just ONE of the great ones in the movie! I'm from Barbados, originally, and we call them " Puhpaws " No matter how you say it, they are DELICIOUS!! ❤️❤️
