What did I just eat?
I'm not quite sure what I just ate. It's probably a fruit. I'd say it's about the size of two footballs with a deep green outside (I only ate a small piece of it). I think it's actually a black solid with green bumps all over it. Then, when you cut it open, there's all these yellow things inside of it. They're about the size and color of pineapple cubes. Except they're not juicy, and they have a pit inside, kinda like a litchi. It tasted kinda sweet and definitely exotic. I'm pretty sure that I won't eat it again, but I'm wondering if anyone knows what this fruit is.

Was it jackfruit/durian?
I second jackfruit, except that it's normally found in SE Asia. Was it imported or grown locally?
Yep, definitely jackfruit. Wikipedia confirmed that. I'd read about that in some of the books I had as an exotic tree (in this case meaning non-indigenous) found in some parts of Africa that generally does well if there's enough rain and produces good benefits for the community. I might look into propagating these a bit.
