 What was the fruit like?  Unfortunately, no one can describe a taste.  All I can say is that, compared with those fruits, the freshest grapefruit you've ever eaten was dull, and the juiciest orange was dry, and the most melting pear was hard and woody, and the sweetest wild strawberry was sour.  And there were no seeds or stones, and no wasps.  If you had once eaten that fruit, all the nicest things in this world would taste like medicines after it.  But I can't describe it.  You can't find out what it is like unless you can get to that country and taste it for yourself.
