Papaya is the weirdest tasting fruit, it kinda tastes like it is a bit off and fermented.
We drank it a lot as kids.
Grays Papaya in NYC. Hot dog and a papaya drink.
If my father drove to Manhattan from Brooklyn it was a big deal.
They’re still around.
The drink had that weird taste and I have no idea what percentage of actual fruit was in it but we loved it.

I like eating them plain. But have tried them with buttermilk ranch... Still prefer plain ol cornmeal breaded fried green tomatoes.
I prefer the cornmeal as well over just straight flour. I just use some hot sauce on them. I know some dip them in remoulade or spicy mayo, etc... But I like to taste the tomato not a sauce. I always put a good amount of cayenne in the coating as well.

Damn, if it wasn't 100° I'd go pick some and fry them up right now. I'll do some frying on Wednesday when it drops to around 80°. Tomatoes, chicken, onion rings, and whatever else I can think of. Maybe some round zucchini slices. If I'm going to be frying I like to do a bunch of stuff.

Papaya has a musky funk to it. Not everyone's cup of tea. Can always hit it with lime and tajin. Som Tam green papaya is something I like to order in a Thai cuisine restaurant. Get the hot, sour, salt, sweet circus going.
