I hadn't heard of this either, but its sounds really interesting to try once.
I think it's pretty hard to come by fresh in Portugal though.
While searching for a place to buy some, I cam across this blog, which has all sorts of other interesting fruits I've never heard of!

One particularly interesting one to me was Mamey Sapotes, the blog says it tastes like creamy sweet potato with an avocado texture...fascinating

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
