Looks like something we called ‘paw paws’ in East Tennessee as a kid. My grandfather said they were poisonous.

Pawpaws are edible but not very common anymore. There is a town here in Michigan called Pawpaw.

I think it was some of the McCoy boys who were executed in a paw paw grove.

paw paws are awesome though they are so perishable they almost never show up on grocers shelves.

My local grocer had a few jackfruits a month or so ago. At $30 each I was not willing to try it. If they cut up $3 chunks I would try it.

If it was the same pawpaw as we have in Michigan they are very tasty and not poisonous
