EN: lanzones (a tropical fruit, Lansium parasiticum)
The official fruit of the "is there more?" season. You peel one, then suddenly you've finished a whole kilo and your fingers are sticky from the 'dagta' (sap). Best enjoyed while watching TV and pretending you're only having 'a few.'
From Spanish 'lanzones', plural of 'lanzón'.
The fruit is known for its sweet taste, but can sometimes be sour ('maasim'). The sap ('dagta') can be sticky and hard to remove from fingers.
