What is this fruit?
I *thought* I bought a Mango, but then cut it open.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

It looked like a mango from the outside (hence my mistake), same size as one and the flesh actually tastes very mango-like. but got those very hard little seeds instead of a hard nut-type centre.
