My next-door neighbour- on request due to this thread interest - kindly gave me a ripe Papaya from his back-yard tree..

It is - a very glowing - McLaren yellow-orange, (& C-P is correct, it has a soapy texture & a notably puke-like odour)..

I scooped it out & scoffed it down , none-the-less.. ..palatable, but nothing to write about.. ..ah.. ..oops..

(& 1st to do a surface traverse across Antarctica,
in good Kiwi style - riding a Massey Ferguson farm
tractor - with a few extemporised mod's to hack the task).

Here's Gilles Villeneuve in a McLaren M23 in 1977 just before he caught the eyes of Enzo Ferrari.
