Edible Pea Pod Gnus.  Nice.  But I'm the one who has to write the
name, and my fingers doth protest.  We do have abbrev mode though.

General Information: This fruit, prized by many, is difficult to find
in distribution. The flesh may be light pink to a deep salmon color
when fully ripe.  The flavor has been described as a "sweet pumpkin
with ahnond flavors." Use in tropical shakes, daiquiris, or add to
fresh fruit salads.

It's an awesome name.  Mamey Sapote Gnus.  (Also spelled "Mammee
Sapote".)  Hm.

Decisions, decisions.
