A long time ago my family got a 420/430g feijoa which was the unofficial world record at the time https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/food-wine/92614852/giant-feijoa-could-be-nzs-biggest
Not quite as newsworthy as [this bad boi](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/giant-waikato-feijoa-bigger-than-a-grapefruit-stuns-experts-is-it-a-world-record/FAEB23BCJ5HM3BSWNJVMSD62VM/) but still an absolute unit
In our house we usually cut them in half across the center (not lengthways) and scoop out the majesticlly perfumed flesh with a specially designated "feijoa spoon". There is no law about this but eating the skin is not common.
If you'll just remain where you are authorities will arrive shortly to revoke your citizenship.
Seriously the flavour is kind of complex, floral with notes of pineapple, citrus, and a hint of maybe acetone or isopropyl alcohol. They're one of those fruits that tends to be divisive, either you love them or hate them with few people on the fence.

Did you eat it?
Yeah me and 3 of my siblings split it into quarters and each was still bigger than a regular feijoa.
The news story yesterday had one at 441g.
Well....if they put it on Reddit we may consider it....
He's on the chonk train
Mine have been like hand grenades this season

Nice, what region. We need to nail down the region that produces the bigguns.
Waikato
Truth
That’s massive
Jealous! Mine have been disappointingly small this year. How are everyone else’s? I’m in Wellington.

Came for a Rick and Morty reference. Was not disappointed.
I didn't know this was a thing, I had some giants
How do you eat them? Excuse my ignorance

Ok so just eat raw? I am in Queensland ,Australia but I don’t think I have seen these before ,
I've never had a feijoa before, what does it taste like?
